Polynesian Passion Cocktail
Tropical and subtly sweet, my Polynesian Passion Cocktail is deliciously drinkable! Deep, dark vanilla rum combines with passion fruit juice, fresh lime juice, and a touch of grenadine to create a beautifully balanced cocktail that will make you feel like you are in a tropical paradise! Similar to a Mai-Tai cocktail, this Polynesian Passion Cocktail has fewer ingredients, but just as much flavor.
Prickly Pear Margarita
Refreshingly tart and sweet, this beautiful Prickly Pear Margarita definitely hits the spot! Prickly pear syrup (aka: cactus pear), fresh lime juice, Cointreau, and blanco tequila, are shaken then poured over ice to make the perfect drink. Try this delicious margarita recipe for one or make it for a crowd, and watch this unique cocktail be the talk of the party!
Elderflower Vodka Tonic
This Elderflower Vodka Tonic cocktail has crisp citrus and floral notes with subtle sweetness and a characteristic bitter finish from the tonic water. This 4 ingredient cocktail recipe tastes more exotic than a traditional vodka tonic. A refreshingly different cocktail that can easily be made keto friendly!
Kumquat Martini
Our Kumquat Martini is a refreshingly sweet & sour cocktail. This 4-ingredient cocktail is so simple, yet stunning. Ripe kumquats are muddled in a cocktail shaker along with agave or simple syrup, then shaken with your favorite vodka. This icy cold libation is then poured into a sugar rimmed martini glass, and garnished with a few slices of fresh kumquats. What’s not to love about this deliciously fresh tasting cocktail?!
