Luau
0.75 oz
A high proof, unaged rum produced in Jamaica, often bottled at 63% ABV (126 proof). Common examples are Wray & Nephew Overproof, Rum Fire, and Worthy Park Overproof (formerly Rum-Bar). This flavorful and funky rum is a key ingredient in several classic and modern cocktails.
0.75 oz
Produced and aged at the historic distilleries of Jamaica, these rums are highly regarded for their funky notes of tropical fruit. They are either comprised of a blend of pot and column-still rums (Appleton Estate) or a heavy 100% pot still rum (Smith & Cross, Hampden Estate, Worthy Park, and others).
0.75 oz
A molasses-based rum distilled in Guyana. Most often blended from the historic wooden pot and column stills of the Diamond Distillery (DDL) and aged for up to 15 years in the tropical climate. This process produces rich, flavorful rums that are major components of 'Navy' style blends.
0.5 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
A syrup made from dissolving granulated sugar (sucrose) in water. Regular simple is made by combining 1:1 sugar:water by mass, rich simple is 2:1 sugar:water by mass although only 1.5 times as sweet as regular. We always use 1:1 syrup unless otherwise noted in the recipe itself.
0.25 oz
A fruit that grows on the vine of the passion flower, native to brazil. Used for its tart taste and crunchy seeds.
0.25 oz
A sweet syrup made from almonds, sugar, and rose water or orange flower water. Sometimes other nut derived syrups are referred to as orgeat. You can make this yourself! There's a few recipes, this one if from liquid Intelligence. Combine 660g very hot water with 200g nuts of your choice (almonds are traditional). Blend together at high speed, then strain through a fine strainer or cheescloth. Add salt if you'd like. Then combine 500g nut milk with 500g sugar, blend to combine. If the emulsion breaks, use a stick blender to quickly recombine (or shake hard before using). If you're up for it, add 1.75g Ticaloid 210s and 0.2g xanthan gum to stablize the emulsion. If you can't find Ticaloid, use a mixture of gum arabic and xanthan gum in a ratio of 9:1. This recipe doesn't use rose or orange flower water, if you'd like you can add small teaspoon of either.

Small, round, green citrus fruits. Commonly used in many cocktails for its rind or its acidic taste (6% acid total; 4% citric, 2% malic, some succinic acid).
