I’m revisiting another one of my oldest originals for this month’s Signatures contest. It doesn’t have quite the same concentration of ingredients from Newfoundland as the first go, but the downhome spirit is still strong.

A rum-heavy tiki riff that leans into stone fruit and regional botanicals. The flash-blend technique ensures the perfect icy texture for this potent, aromatic sipper.
