Coconut Storm Surge

Description: Blending the bold character of a Dark and Stormy with the tropical flair of a Puerto Rican classic, this tiki cocktail serves a medley of rich and spicy notes. The coconut fat-washed Monkey Shoulder whiskey forms a creamy, nuanced base, uplifted by the zesty effervescence of Big Marble Ginger Beer. A touch of pandan tincture introduces an aromatic nutty layer, while lime cordial adds a refreshing acidity. The finishing touch is a unique coconut dust rim and a striking bamboo leaf garnish. Ingredients: - 2 oz coconut fat-washed Monkey Shoulder - 4 oz Big Marble Ginger Beer - 0.5 oz pandan tincture - 0.75 oz lime cordial - Ice cubes Garnish: - Coconut dust rim (blend coconut sugar with a hint of salt and finely ground almonds) - Bamboo leaf Glassware: Tiki mug Instructions: 1. Prepare the coconut dust rim by mixing equal parts coconut sugar and finely ground almonds with just a pinch of salt. Rim the edge of a tiki mug with lime juice and dip it into the coconut dust mixture. 2. In a shaker filled with ice, combine the coconut fat-washed Monkey Shoulder, pandan tincture, and lime cordial. 3. Shake well until chilled and strain the mix into the prepared tiki mug filled with fresh ice. 4. Pour the Big Marble Ginger Beer gently over the top to maintain its fizziness. 5. Gently stir the cocktail to combine the ingredients, ensuring not to disrupt the bubbles too much. 6. Garnish with a bamboo leaf for an authentic tiki presentation. 7. Serve immediately and enjoy a voyage of tropical flavors!
