1. Did You Say You Have a Cuban One For Me?

Best for cigar-lovers out there, Did You Say You Have a Cuban One For Me is a real treat. Blow your mind with a version of Cuba Libre made with cigar-infused rum. Prepare yourself for the eccentric combination of flavors in this cocktail by @cocktail.vision . This is a real labor of love.

Ingredients

Steps to Make

  1. Using a sphere ice mold , make frozen cola by directly pouring the cola into the mold and freezing it for 2 hours or more.
  2. Infuse a 2-inch long Montecristo cigar in 8 oz of white rum for 8 hours. For a milder taste, remove the cigar after 2-4 hours.
  3. Smoke paprika by trapping some cigar or other wood smoke in a mason jar with a fitted lid.
  4. Add a tablespoon of paprika into the jar then close the lid tightly. Let sit for 1-2 hours.
  5. In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, add the cigar-infused rum, Rhum Agricole, honey liqueur, pineapple juice, lemon juice, maple syrup, charred pineapple bourbon sauce, and sea salt.
  6. Shake well and double strain into a cigar whiskey glass to highlight the cigar aroma and flavor.
  7. Top with a frozen cola sphere and a dusting of smoked paprika.

2. Piña Whatthellada

When you hear the words “jungle cat”, what comes to your mind? You might think of a tiger, but @barrelageddad changes that with this Jungle Cat cocktail .

Gin is such an amazing spirit to use for cocktails and the Gin & Tonic is a classic that everyone loves. However, @onedrinkaday decided to take it a notch out of the box by making this G&T not with tonic but with tea! Yes, and it’s not just ordinary tea, it’s butterfly pea flower tea known for its color-changing property that makes the cocktail more alluring. Try this Gin and Tea cocktail made more interesting with real passionfruit pulp.

  4. Add ice then add the gin mixture.
  5. Top with butterfly pea flower tea.
  6. Add garnishing as desired.

5. Spring Feelings with Rhubarb Sour


Japan almost always means cherry blossoms and who says you can’t enjoy spring in autumn? Indulge in some Japanese-inspired cocktail made with a Japanese liquor created by Keily @the.tipsy.adventure_ . Introducing Akashi-Tai Shiraume Umeshu, a rich and syrupy plum sake made by infusing plums in sake for 6 months and then aged for another 2 years.

  • Rhubarb juice
  • Homemade Rhubarb syrup
  • Rhubarb strip for garnish

6. Prince Henry Punch

Earthy, tart, herbaceous, and fruity - these are the words the cocktailgrammer @subtletiki used to describe this tiki cocktail created by Paolo Moix, a bartender from Los Angeles. With the combination of Rhum Agricole and aged rum, there’s really a lot of punch in that one serving.

Created by @theglassclass , this lovely Gent’s Sour cocktail is a far cry from the regular sour you know since it uses scotch which is technically still whiskey.

Ingredients

Steps to Make

  1. Add all the ingredients into a cocktail shaker , add ice and shake vigorously until well-chilled.
  2. Double strain into a chilled old-fashioned glass .
