Ingredients

  • 1 oz ginger-infused simple syrup
  • 1/2 oz orange juice
  • 2 oz chilled ginger beer
  • 4 mint sprigs
  • 2 fresh cherries
  • Pernod
  • 3 dashes celery bitters
  • 2 strips of orange zest
  • 2 oz cognac
  • ice

Instructions

For the ginger-infused syrup, you need 1/4 cup shredded, peeled fresh ginger, 1/2 cup water, and 1/2 cup sugar. Let all the ingredients simmer together for 5 minutes using low heat. Wait for the syrup to cool down, then strain it.

Prepare 2 champagne glasses for the Maybelle punch. Rinse it with the Pernod and remove the extra.

Use a cocktail shaker and a muddler to muddle the mint leaves so that they release the taste and liquid. Next, add the ginger syrup, orange juice, and bitters to the mix. Finally, include the cognac.

SOUTH OF FRANCE — 1 1/2 oz. Dark Rum 1 1/2 oz. White Rum @flordecanausa 3 oz. Pineapple Orange Juice 1/2 oz. Green Chartruese 3/4 oz. Lime Juice 1/4 oz. Grenadine @cocktailartists Peychauds Bitters Float — Shake together ingredients with ice, strain over ice and float bitters. Garnish with mint, cherry, and orange peel — Summer may be over but here is a recipe to keep those summer vibes going. I visited my bookmarks for the first time in a hot minute and had this recipe from @cheerstohappyhour marked from a while back. It sounded like quite the recipe and the green chartreuse sounded particularly interesting in a tiki drink. It adds some delicious herbaceous flavors in the background and goes extremely well with the rum, pineapple, and orange. And a bitters float isn’t something I’ve really played around with before so it was fun to see how it worked in a drink. I thought it would be more pronounced in the palette upon sipping, but it actually mixed perfectly while drinking it, adding a slight bitter top layer to the fruity and slightly herbal flavors underneath. If you’re missing summer already, sip on one of these and you’ll forget it’s even over.

Before you start shaking, add the ice. Shake until you feel that the shaker is cold on the outside.

When you’re done, divide the punch between the two champagne glasses. Finish off with ginger beer. Decorate the glasses with orange zest and a cherry.
