CLAIRIN HIGHBALL

2 dashes bitters
¼ oz lemon juice
½ oz banana oleo
2 oz Clairin
fill with seltzer

Build in glass // Stir // Garnish: none

This one was one of those “use what’s laying around” cocktails. Plus, I wanted to try my new clear ice spear out. Gonna have to keep this template in mind for the summer, it was delish!

MEXICO NAVY

1 oz lime juice
½ oz ginger syrup
½ oz orgeat
2 oz Tequila blanco
2 drops saline solution

Shake // Strain // Garnish: candied ginger

Created by Jordan Valls at Palomar in Portland, OR. It’s a riff on the classic Army & Navy, but to me felt like a ginger margarita. It was lip-smackingly delicious but almost too potent; I'd lengthen it a bit with some seltzer next time.

SANDÍA HIGHBALL

½ oz lime juice
¼ oz ginger syrup
1 oz watermelon juice
1 oz Aperol
1 oz Tequila blanco
float 1-2 oz seltzer

Garnish: mint sprig
Method: Combine all ingredients except seltzer into a shaker, add ice, and shake. Strain over a clear ice spear, add seltzer, and garnish.

Seen on IG anatomyofadrink channel. He took the Sandia recipe, created in 2016 by David Valdez at Simbal (Little Tokyo, Los Angeles; now closed), and turned it into a highball by adding soda water. I batched this up and took it to a garden party today — it was gone quickly!

MR. WEDNESDAY

1 oz lemon juice
¾ oz orgeat
½ oz banana liqueur
1¼ oz aquavit
½ oz Pot Still Lightly Aged Rum ❶
¼ oz Black Blended Rum ❺

Garnish: mint sprig, orange peel, edible orchid
Method: Combine all ingredients in a shaker with crushed ice. Shake and open pour into glass. Top with ice and garnish.

This is a crowd pleaser no matter how many tiki drinks you've tried: safe enough for newcomers, but the aquavit delivers something interesting to those who've had them all. It was created by Matthew Belanger at Death & Company.

Doctor Funk by Donn Beach

½ oz lemon juice
½ oz lime juice
¼ oz grenadine
½ oz demerara syrup
¼ oz absinthe
2¼ oz Black Pot Still Rum
1 oz seltzer

Garnish: pineapple frond
Method: Combine all ingredients with ice, shake or flash blend, open pour.

This one is one of my favorite tiki drinks. This version is from the Smuggler's Cove book, page 266. In it Martin Cate emphasizes that a funky Jamaican rum is needed to stand up to the hearty dose of absinthe. Jamaicans are far and away my favorite rums so this one always hits the spot for me. Pictured in the background is Hamilton's black pot still, which is the specific rum called for in this drink. However, if you don't have it on hand you can blend two rums (a black and a pot still) to land mostly in the same place, as is praxis in tiki anyway.

Hinky Dinks Fizzy

2 oz sparkling wine
1½ oz pineapple juice
½ oz lime juice
½ oz passion fruit syrup
½ oz apricot liqueur
1 oz London dry gin
1 oz Blended Lightly Aged Rum ❷

Method: bubbles into the glass, shake/blend everything but gin, open pour, float the gin.

A gin tiki drink made more fun by floating with butterfly pea gin. In this case it was Empress 1908. From the Smuggler's Cove book, page 97.
