Kapok Cocktail
“If you are looking for a refreshing drink that reminds you of your childhood, it’s the Kapok. The flavors of raspberry, almond, dry curaçao, pineapple, and Irish whiskey combine to resemble the profile of a Fruit Roll-Up.”—Katie Krieger, operations coordinator, The Tatarian
Ingredients
- 2 oz. Tullamore D.E.W. Irish whiskey
- ½ oz. orgeat syrup (*contains almonds)
- ½ oz. raspberry syrup
- ¾ oz. Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao
- ¾ oz. fresh pineapple juice
- 2 dashes Bittermens Elemakule Tiki Bitters
- overproof rum
- 1 cinnamon stick
Directions
- In a shaker tin, add all the ingredients. Then, toss a scoop of ice into the shaker and shake vigorously.
- Strain shaker contents over fresh ice into mai tai or rocks glass.
- Garnish with a pineapple moon (imagine taking a lime wheel and cutting it in two pieces so that they look like a half moon) running parallel to the glass, a full lime wheel sitting perpendicular to the pineapple, and two raspberries placed on top of the lime.
- Drop a bar spoon of overproof rum onto the raspberries and light it on fire. Then microplane a cinnamon stick over the flame.
