About
This cocktail comes from Skull & Crown Trading Co. (@skullandcrowntradingco) in Honolulu. I came across the specs through Frederic Yarm (@fredericyarm), who recently resurfaced the drink and compared the peach, mint, and lime combination to a Missionary’s Downfall, only built around tequila and without the pineapple and honey. There is a lot of fruit here, but the reposado tequila gives it enough weight underneath, while the mint and lime keep the whole thing fresh. Peach and passionfruit work especially well together, and the orange juice rounds it out.Cheers y’all!
