We love how the blackcurrant gives this masculine drink a femine twist—turning the head a delicate light pink.
Island Cocktails: Honolulu Mai Tai
At Celebrity Chef Alan Wong's restaurant The Pineapple Room in Honolulu, they call this cocktail the "Locavore Mai Tai" because it's made with Big Island macadamia nuts, locally distilled Maui rum, fresh local pineapples, organic Poamoho Farms limes, and Maui sugar. We've adapted the recipe slightly, so that you can enjoy the flavors of Hawaii no matter where you are.
Island Cocktail: Ruby Remedy
This cocktail, from mixologist Jeremy Crittendon of Luma on Park in Winter Park, Florida, puts a seasonal spin on the more-typical Tequila Sunrise. With it's tart-sweet flavor and herbal undertones, the ruby-hued Ruby Remedy is our new favorite cure-all for the winter blues.
