The second most common juice used in cocktails. This citrus juice is about 6% acid; 4% from citric and 2% from malic, with small amounts of succinic acid (this is what gives it a little bloody taste). Lime juice should be used the day it is squeezed, some like it freshly squeezed and others like it a few hours old.
0.75 oz
A commonly used syrup made from pomegranate juice, characterized by a flavour that is both tart and sweet, and by a deep red colour. Coming from the French spelling of pomegranate, 'grenade.' To make it yourself (don't buy it premade) combine 100% pomegranate juice (like the Pom Wonderful brand) with equal parts sugar by mass. We always use 1:1 syrup unless otherwise noted in the recipe itself.

A distilled, highly alcoholic (45-75% ABV), anise-flavored beverage derived from botanicals like wormwood, green anise, fennel, hyssop, melissa and other herbs. Technically a spirit, as it is not bottled with sugar. The green fairy.
Short shake all the ingredients with ice for about 5 seconds, then strain into a collins glass. Fill the glass with crushed ice and garnish with an orchid. #shake #whip #ontherocks
“Another one in our ongoing series of tiki drinks named after “doctors.” Amrut is a very tasty, very strong whisky from India that has tropical fruit notes. Other than that, it’s similar to a Doctor Funk, a 1953 Don the Beachcomber classic. -Matthew Belanger
