About
This cocktail was created by Saleh Amin (@onlyxdiz), a friend of mine I met through Instagram who sent me the recipe. I tried it, loved it, and ended up serving it at an annual Pride party, where it was a huge hit. Thai tea-infused pisco brings those familiar warm, spiced tea notes, while a little overproof Jamaican rum adds some funk underneath. Calpico gives the drink a creamy, slightly tangy quality that works surprisingly well with the fresh lime, and grapefruit bitters add another layer of citrus to round everything out.Cheers y’all!
