Bright and tropical with a rich almond sweetness, citrus notes, and an herbal finish. The Barrel Rested Gin adds a warm, slightly oaky depth that blends all the ingredients together for a layered, tiki-inspired cocktail.
Ingredients
- 2oz Castaway Barrel Rested Gin
- 1oz Lemon juice
- 1oz Almond Orgeat
- .5oz Velvet Falernum
- .5oz Dry Curaçao
- 6 mint leaves, muddled
- Topped with sparkling water
Directions
- Add the mint and lemon juice into a shaker and muddle. Press just lightly to release the oils, not too hard as to create a bitter flavor.
- Measure the remaining ingredients using a jigger, except for the club soda, into the same shaker with ice.
- Give it a quick, hard shake, just enough to aerate the ingredients and slightly chill, but not to over dilute.
- Double strain the cocktail, using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer, into a tiki glass filled with crushed ice.
- Top with sparkling water.
- Take a sprig of mint and slap between your hands to release the oils. Place on top of the cocktail along with an edible flower for garnish.

Bartender's Notes
Crushed ice has more surface area that touches the cocktail, causing it to chill and dilute faster. Shake just a little bit to aerate the ingredients, not to add too much dilution.
