“I wanted to capture the feeling of a hot summer day in the countryside. Wrap around porch with the bench swing and a mason jar of sweet tea in hand. Bugs chirping in the background and a lil something to beat the heat.”

“My family is from the countryside in Puerto Rico and i wanted to capture a bit of that vibe with some tropical elements. On the island, moonshine is called “pitorro”, and passion fruit (what we call párcha) is a popular flavor. Rum with párcha is actually my go to drink when im there, so naturally i wanted to incorporate that in my recipe. I wanted that same hot summer day vibe, but tropical and slightly fancier with a clearer liquid and a clear ice cube.”
Shake and strain over large rock in a double rocks glass.
Top with ginger beer and garnish with expressed orange peel.
