Another one from Smuggler’s Cove; you can probably tell that I’m trying to use up my pineapple juice! This one is unique among the recipes in that book in that it features Aquavit, a Scandinavian liquor that is close to gin, but typically infused with caraway and dill. The dill notes are especially pronounced in the Gamle Ode Celebration Aquavit that I used, and come out especially strongly in the finish. Delightful in contrast to the juicy start!

1 ½ oz orange juice
1 ½ oz pineapple juice
½ oz lemon juice
¼ oz Demerara Syrup
¼ oz Orgeat
1 ½ oz aquavit
1 lemon wedge

Shake with ice and strain into a glass filled with cracked ice. Garnish with a lemon wedge speared with a cocktail umbrella.

A friend who is a sailor gave me a recipe, pineapple juice, lime, full proof coconut rum and cilantro, it's great! I also love fermented pineapple juice, see the tepache and ginger beer recipes in the non alcoholic thread, or you could try champagne yeast.

This looks good but I still haven't liked gin. Every time I put it in anything I just think vodka would work better. Will get there eventually I'm sure. I do like Mastica, that would work in this.

I really love the idea of your sailor friend giving you recipes! That’s probably normal for an area near the water 😂

How does the cilantro work in there: muddled, syrup, garnish, something else? Sounds awesome! Sort of reminds me of one I made from PDT that had muddled green bell pepper (and it actually worked!).

I shook it with the other ingredients, cilantro is pretty delicate, the flavor came through and some bits of green in the drink. And yes she says "well I am a sailor and sailors like rum!" But stressed the coconut rum must be full proof, some are more like liqueurs.

Green pepper? Huh. I do love jalapeno flavor, the raw jalapenos are delicious. Not this year's (well last year now) garden ones, too spicy, but the grocery store jalapenos, muddled with tequila for a margarita, yum.

ETA: but really if you have too much pineapple, ferment some, it is ridiculously good.

A place for conversation about cocktails, ingredients, home mixology, the bar industry or liquor industry, glassware - this is not an exhaustive list. If you think it's in some way related to cocktails it's probably fine.

If you post something you didn't create give credit whenever possible.

Pictures and recipes are encouraged when posting a drink as a standalone post. Example of an ideal drink post:

We love garnishes.

Remember the code of conduct, keep it nice. In terms of cocktails- specific etiquette that might be different from other communities:

Mentioning your blog, insta, website, book or bar is allowed, yes. For now at least, we do allow self-promotion. If it gets out of hand this might change.

A good post with a drink you don't like is still a good post! Try not to conflate the drink and the post or poster. If someone has a relevant title, gorgeous photo and clearly formatted recipe of what you consider a truly terrible drink, a comment is more appropriate than a downvote.

On that topic: Polite critique/reviews of drinks (or posts, images, etc.) is allowed here. Encouraged , even. It's a good tool for improving your drinks and content. Really, just be nice.
