Combine all ingredients in a drink mixer tin. Blend for 5 seconds. Open pour into a (1989 Irving Oil “Atlantic Puffin” commemorative) highball glass. Garnish with a sprig of Newfoundland savoury if available, and a mint sprig if not.

Editor's Note

A regional riff on the Jungle Bird, swapping Campari for aquavit and haskap liqueur. The flash-blend technique ensures a perfect, icy texture for this tropical-meets-Atlantic sipper.
