Essentials

Seasonal

We recently celebrated my dad's 60th birthday, so naturally I served up a few (dozen) cocktails. I had Bee's Knees and Moscow Mules available as well, but these were probably ordered 10-1 over the other two. Designed in consultation with my old man, this is a really tasty twist on the classic formula, and certainly deserving of the best dad (and 3rd best taste tester) a guy could ask for!

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 (except soda) in a cocktail shaker. Add ice and shake well. Strain into a highball glass or tiki mug filled with fresh ice. Top with soda, stir gently, and garnish. Garnish: amarena cherry & pineapple chunk on a pick, mint sprig, swizzle stick

Editor's Note

A split-base of aged rums provides the backbone for this tropical highball. Passionfruit honey and spiced pineapple bitters add depth to the classic punch template.
