LAGOON WATER

½ oz lime cordial 🍋‍🟩
¼ oz blue simple syrup 🔵
1½ oz gin
1 dash umami bitters
4 drops saline
top with seltzer

Garnish: orchid
Method: Set soda aside and build drink in glass in the order listed. Add a large rock of ice, add soda, and stir until color is even.

I found this one on the cheerstohappyhour IG channel and had to work my butt off to make it happen ;) The build is quite involved as listed, making blue simple syrup and I also had to make the lime cordial (I'd wanted to for a while anyway). The umami bitters are also very niche, but luckily I'd already gotten them for another cocktail some months back. And finally, the clear ice and maintaining orchids at home are both their own projects spanning days/months :D If you can manage to make it, it's got a five-star look and tastes great on a sunny afternoon!

🔵 Blue simple syrup: combine 1 cup sugar and ¾ teaspoon blue spirulina powder (or food coloring), and stir to incorporate dry ingredients. Once mixed, add one cup water then stir until everything is dissolved.

🍋‍🟩 I used Jeffrey Morgenthaler's lime cordial recipe: https://jeffreymorgenthaler.com/lime-cordial/

RYE-PA

½ oz lemon juice
½ oz orgeat
1½ oz rye whiskey
2 dashes Angostura bitters
3 oz New England IPA

Glassware: Double old-fashioned
Method: Combine lemon, orgeat, rye, and bitters in a shaker with ice and shake. Add the beer directly to the serving glass, then open pour the shaker into the glass. Garnish with mint.

An original by servedbysoberon on IG, but I've modified it to be more beer-forward by downplaying the sweet/sour a bit. The beer is called Frida, a #NEIPA by local brewer Braukollektiv in #Freiburg. Great summer smasher!

MICHELADA

1½ oz lime juice
2 dashes Maggi liquid seasoning
4 dashes Worcestershire sauce
2 dashes Tabasco sauce
12 oz Mexican lager beer

Garnish: salted rim, lime wheel
Method: First, salt the rim of the glass by rubbing it with a cut-open lime and rolling it in a shallow bowl filled with Tahín or salt. Now build the drink in glass, adding ingredients in the order listed. Once the beer is in, garnish with a lime wheel and add a few small ice cubes then serve.

Maggi seasoning is really easy to find in Germany, but if not by you then soy sauce is a decent substitute. Tabasco also up for substitution according to your prefs. What isn’t negotiable is drinking this in the sunshine!

One more mod if you’re feeling sassy is to serve with a side of danger, a neat shot alongside that someone can add as they wish. Tequila and Mezcal are excellent choices!

CARNAGHINO

½ oz pistachio liqueur
½ oz chocolate liqueur

CENTER OF THE GALAXY

½ oz lime juice
½ oz demerara syrup
½ oz honey syrup
½ oz raspberry liqueur
2 oz Blended Aged Rum ❸
pinch of grated cinnamon

Garnish: raspberries, lime wheel
Method: Combine all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker filled with cracked or cubed ice. Shake and double-strain into a chilled coupe. Float a lime wheel in the center of the drink and rest a raspberry in the center.

Named after an ester discovered in a dust ball scanned by the Max Planck Institute of Radio Astronomy in 2009, which smells of rum and gives raspberries their taste! Spec is by Martin Cate, Smuggler's Cove p121.

CAFE DE CALABAZA

1 oz orange juice
2 oz pineapple juice
1 oz coconut cream
¼ oz allspice dram
¼ oz cinnamon syrup
¼ oz falernum
¾ oz espresso liqueur
1½ oz mezcal espadín

Garnish: pineapple frond, cinnamon stick, grated nutmeg
Method: Combine all ingredients in a shaker with crushed ice, shake, and open pour into mug. Garnish with love.

It's pumpkin spice without the pumpkin! Although this type of cocktail normally makes its rounds in the fall, I still love to reach for something like it when winter stubbornly marches on. The color is nothing to write home about so I threw it into my handmade False Idol mug by Bosko. Cocktail is originally by Brian "shakerofspirits" Maxwell.

ANGOSTURA COLADA

1 oz lime juice
1½ oz pineapple juice
1½ oz coconut cream
1½ oz Angostura bitters
½ oz Pot Still Lightly Aged Rum ❶

Garnish: grated nutmeg, pineapple frond
Method: Combine all ingredients in a mixing tin with crushed ice and blend. A shaker with crushed ice will also do. Open pour with gated finish into glass and garnish.

I always like drinks with bitters as a base spirit. They're bound to be bold and interesting! This one is tempered by coconut and pineapple, with a little bit of pot still rum to give it that Daq vibe. Hoping to see weather like this again soon!

WINTER BASIL SMASH

handful fresh basil
1 oz lemon juice
¾ oz simple syrup
2 oz aquavit

Garnish: basil leaf
Method: Set aside one basil leaf as garnish. In a shaker, muddle remaining basil leaves with lemon juice and simple syrup. Add aquavit and ice cubes, shake, and double strain into a rocks glass with fresh ice cubes.

An interesting riff on the Gin Basil Smash, it's refreshing yet has a touch of warming notes from the aquavit. Don't be scared off by the two full shots. This one is balanced nicely by the generous amounts of lemon and simple. I had Thai basil on hand when I took the photo and I thought it worked well in the cocktail, even though the spec calls for the Italian variety. I first saw this one on IG from theeducatedbarfly.

THREE DOTS AND A DASH

½ oz lime juice
½ oz orange juice
½ oz honey syrup
¼ oz falernum
¼ oz allspice dram
1½ oz Rhum Agricole Vieux ❽
½ oz Blended Aged Rum ❸
1 dash Angostura bitters

Garnish: three maraschino cherries, pineapple chunk
Method: Add all the ingredients to a drink mixer tin. Fill with 12 oz crushed ice and 4-6 agitator cubes. Flash blend and open pour with a gated finish into a footed pilsner glass. If you don't have a drink blender (I don't) then shaking obviously does the trick.

For the garnish use one spear for three maraschino cherries and the pineapple chunk. Place horizontally on the rim of the glass. It represents V for victory in Morse code •••—

This drink is a certified tiki classic from Don the Beachcomber during WWII, later decoded by Jeff Beachbum Berry, and republished in the Smuggler's Cove book, page 43.

JUNGLE BIRD

2 oz pineapple juice
½ oz lime juice
½ oz demerara syrup
¾ oz Campari
1½ oz Black Blended Rum ❺

Garnish: pineapple frond
Method: Add all the ingredients to a drink mixer tin. Fill with 4-6 agitator cubes. Flash blend and pour with gated finish into a Collins or highball glass and add garnish.

No cocktail feed is complete without one of the titans of tiki, the Jungle Bird! Always a crowd pleaser with its bitter-but-sweet balance, and a garnish sure to turn heads as it gets placed in front of you. This spec comes from Smuggler's Cove, page 96.

¼ oz Campari
1½ oz Tequila blanco

Garnish: lime wheel
Method: Combine all ingredients in a shaker with 12 ounces crushed ice, shake, and double-strain into a coupe glass. Garnish by placing lime wheel on the rim of the glass.

A delicious spin on the Hemingway Daquiri. I'm always down for a tequila sub! Easy going down so watch out ;) Found on IG subtletiki channel.

PANORAMA

2 dashes chocolate bitters
¼ oz maple syrup
½ oz Amaro Averna
¾ oz mezcal espadín
¾ oz Black Blended Rum ❺
¾ oz overproof Pot Still Lightly Aged Rum ❶

Garnish: orange peel
Method: Build in glass, stirring with the rock. Garnish with an orange twist.

Stirring my way through the cold weather. I found it hard to pick out the base spirits. Rather, they intensified the bitters and amaro bringing out strong spicy flavors balanced out nicely by the syrup. I found this one on IG chips_classic_cocktails.
