Happiness in Liquid Form - An Earthy Tiki Cocktail Recipe
Happiness in Liquid Form is the perfect balance of fruity and earthy and it practically demands to be sipped on outside in the summer sun. It combines zesty lime, sweet pineapple, tropical passionfruit, and spicy ginger with smoky mezcal and aged rum.
Equipment
- cocktail shaker
Ingredients
- 1 oz aged rum
- ½ oz mezcal
- ¾ oz pineapple-ginger juice*
- ½ oz lime juice
- ¾ oz passion fruit syrup**
- 2 drops hemp bitters
- 2 dashes Angostura aromatic bitters
- 1 spritz peppermint hydrosol (optional)
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients except the peppermint hydrosol to a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
- Shake well, about 20 seconds.
- Strain into a glass that's filled with crushed ice.
- *If you can't find a pineapple-ginger juice blend, simply muddle a slice or two of fresh ginger in your cocktail shaker. Or add half a teaspoon of ginger paste.**My passionfruit syrup is quite sweet but other brands can lean more tart. Adjust this amount to your liking.
- Garnish with a lime wheel and pineapple leaves.
Notes
*If you can't find a pineapple-ginger juice blend, simply muddle a slice or two of fresh ginger in your cocktail shaker. Or add half a teaspoon of ginger paste.
**The passionfruit syrup I have is quite sweet but other brands can lean more tart. Adjust this amount to your liking.
