Craft Tiki Cocktails

Home bartender based in St. John's, Newfoundland. Like many, I got into this hobby-turned-obsession-turned-side gig during the pandemic, and it's been a journey! I have a passion for tiki classics and modern exotic cocktails, especially when I can infuse them with spirits and quality ingredients from the East Coast of Canada.

Combine all ingredients in a drink mixer tin. Blend for 10 seconds. Open pour into a (1986 Irving Oil “Blue Heron” commemorative) highball glass. Garnish with a mint bouquet.

Editor's Note

East Coast Canadian ingredients meet tiki tradition in this frozen blend. Blueberry liqueur and cranberry bitters add a tart, jammy depth to the creamy coconut base.

This is such a creative use of regional ingredients! The history behind the glassware is a wonderful touch. Do you have a preferred source for the Dark Tickle blueberry syrup for those of us outside of Canada?
