Recipe By: Josh Agbayani
Supply List [yields 2 servings]
- 1 can Flash Brew Single Origin: Sakaro
- 2 oz Peach or Apricot Nectar
- 2 oz Cherry Juice
- 1 Bottle of Ginger Beer
- Cinnamon Sticks
- Collins Glasses
- Ice Cubes (large preferred)
- 3 oz Dark Rum (optional)
Recommended Tools
- Lighter
- Spoon
Step 1
Fill each Collins glass with 3 large Ice cubes. If you have smaller ice cubes, fill each glass ¾ full.
Step 2
Pour 4 ounces of ginger beer into each glass if you are enjoying without alcohol and skip to step 4. If you’re enjoying with alcohol, pour 3 ounces of ginger beer into each glass and continue to step 3.
Step 3
Measure and pour in the dark into each glass.
Step 4
Pour 1 ounce of your preferred stone fruit nectar over the ginger beer in each glass.
Step 5
Pour 3 ounces of Flash Brew Single Origin: Sakaro over the nectar and ginger beer in each glass.
Step 6
Holding the spoon close to the drink surface, slowly pour 1 ounce cherry juice on the top of each drink. The spoon will float it, allowing it to layer on top of the ginger beer and nectar below.
Step 7
Garnish each drink with a cinnamon stick, allowing ½ inch to stay above the rim and carefully use a lighter to ignite the tip. Allow to burn for a few seconds, then gently fan our the flame and serve. The smoke aroma will enhance the drinking experience.
Step 8
Enjoy with friends, preferably while watching a beautiful sunset!
