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.
Using a sphere ice mold, make frozen cola by directly pouring the cola into the mold and freezing it for 2 hours or more.
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.
Smoke paprika by trapping some cigar or other wood smoke in a mason jar with a fitted lid.
Add a tablespoon of paprika into the jar then close the lid tightly. Let sit for 1-2 hours.
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.
Top with a frozen cola sphere and a dusting of smoked paprika.
2. Piña Whatthellada
The tropical vibe doesn’t have to stop in the summer. And so @empirebrickofgin created this blue version of piña colada that evokes the vision of the sea. Enjoy this by the pool and never miss the fun. Spruce up your dehydrated lemons by adding some food coloring before drying it in the oven.
Dry shake all ingredients for 45 seconds to build up foam.
Add ice and shake again for 20 seconds.
Strain into a coupe glass. Add a garnish of choice.
3. Jungle Cat
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. The tiger might have really inspired this creation, though, with its bright orange color. This version of the Bermuda Hundred uses maple syrup, though, instead of orgeat.
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.
In a mixing glass, add gin, passionfruit syrup, and orange syrup. Add ice and stir well.
Drop 1 bar spoon of passionfruit pulp and seeds in a wine glass.
Add ice then add the gin mixture.
Top with butterfly pea flower tea.
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. Keily did not include the step-by-step procedure though, so feel free to experiment and recreate at your own risk.
Ingredients
Akashi-Tai Shiraume Umeshu
Mamont Vodka
lemon juice
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.
Garnish with a lime peel shaped like a mustache for that “gentleman” feel.
Add a sprinkling of dehydrated lime peel powder.
Note:You can make homemade dehydrated lime peel powder by drying strips of lime peel at 200°F in the oven for 1 hour or until thoroughly dry. Let it cool and grind in a food processor and keep tightly sealed for future use.
8. Tangerine Pisco Fizz
Do you love the sugar rush from kombucha? While it is touted as good for gut health because of prebiotics, it is also notorious for its high sugar content. Add it to your favorite cocktail recipe to make use of its sweetness while helping to tamper the effects of alcohol in the gut. Foodie and cocktail enthusiast, Paula Garner @thebitterfairy, explores the possibility of adding kombucha tea in this pisco fizz.
Combine all ingredients except kombucha and shake well without ice.
Add a chunk of ice and shake well again.
Strain into Collins glass, let settle and top carefully with kombucha.
Mist with bitters.
9. Pink Lipstick
Here is another beautiful creation made with gin and colored with dragon fruit syrup. Perfect to serve in all-girls parties where no guys will judge you for picking girly drinks and wearing pink lipstick. Wait, did I say Pink Lipstick? Yes, that’s the name of our girly drink here. All thanks to Debbie @recipesbydebbie.
Ingredients
1 3/4 oz gin
1/4 oz elderflower liqueur
2 oz lemon juice
3/4 oz homemade dragon fruit syrup
1/4 oz homemade kaffir lime/lemongrass/ginger/mint syrup
Steps to Make
Add all the ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
Garnish with a trimmed lemon peel and pink florets!
10. La Mora
Get your muscles ready if you’re making La Mora (Spanish for blackberry) because it calls for hard shaking! That’s good arm exercise anyway so get on with it. The creator who loves to call himself Ant (Is he the Antman? LOL) goes by the IG name @cocktails_for_breakfast.
Garnish with blackberries skewered on sprigs of rosemary and a charred lemon wheel.
