Refreshing

Seasonal

Coconut is a classic tiki flavor, so a delicious coconut-jasmine-lychee flavored vodka seemed like a great base for a tropical drink. This drink splits the base with the vodka and a rum split, and brings in other classic flavors of orgeat, lime, and pineapple. A final touch of lightly carbonated tepache (fermented pineapple drink) brightens the whole thing up.

I love trying new ingredients, learning new techniques, and of course, creating new cocktails-- especially ones influenced by food in some way. I also love the photography/videography side of things. I’m incredibly passionate about my craft but try not to take myself too seriously. Cheers!...

Combine all ingredients except the tepache and shake with ice until chilled. Fine strain over fresh ice cubes and top with the tepache. Garnish and serve.

Editor's Note

A split base of floral vodka and funky Jamaican rum creates a complex tiki-style sour. Fermented pineapple tepache adds a bright, effervescent finish.
