A tropical plant with a tart yellow fruit. Most often used in tiki cocktails and fizzes.
8 leaf
Aromatic plants used in cocktails as a garnish or muddled into the liquor to add a light fresh taste. Common in the Mint Julep.
1 oz
The second most common juice used in cocktails. This citrus juice is about 6% acid; 4% from citric and 2% from malic, with small amounts of succinic acid (this is what gives it a little bloody taste). Lime juice should be used the day it is squeezed, some like it freshly squeezed and others like it a few hours old.
0.5 oz
This syrup swaps in golden-hued demerara or turbinado sugar as opposed to processed/bleached white sugar. This gives a deeper, almost caramel-like flavor with a funky molasses nose popular in tropical drinks. We always use 1:1 syrup unless otherwise noted in the recipe itself.
0.5 oz
A peach flavored liqueur.
1.5 oz
Also referred to as silver or white, light rums are unaged, aged in steel, or aged in oak and have had their color filtered out, and usually have a sweeter and lighter taste than darker rum varieties. The name refers to these rums lighter or clear color.
1 sprig
Aromatic plants used in cocktails as a garnish or muddled into the liquor to add a light fresh taste. Common in the Mint Julep.
Muddle the pineapple chunks in a drink mixer tin. Add the remaining ingredients and 12 oz of crushed ice and flash blend for 10 seconds. Double-strain into a chilled coupe glass. Float a large mint leaf on the surface of the drink or rest a small cluster of mint sprigs against the side of the glass to garnish. #muddle #blend #straight
