The folks at @mingriverbaijiu sent me a bottle of their baijiu and a set of awesome tiki mugs to experiment with. This is what I came up with first. ⁣
⁣
𝐏𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚 𝐛𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐨𝐥⁣
⁣
2.5 oz Ming River Baijiu⁣ (@mingriverbaijiu )
2 oz fresh pressed pineapple juice⁣
.75 oz Fresh Pressed Green Apple Juice⁣
.75 oz fresh lime juice⁣
.75 oz Black Liquorice Syrup⁣
.25 green cardamom and cinnamon syrup⁣
⁣
Shake, strain into a panda tiki mug over crushed ice. Garnish with fresh mint, green apple, and black liquorice swizzle stick. This drink is tart, floral, and herbal. ⁣
⁣
Baijiu is China's favorite spirit and the most widely sold spirit on the planet. Ming River is a Szechuan style baijiu with fruity, floral flavors reminiscent of pineapple, liquorice, flowers, and malic acid. That's what inspired the ingredients in this drink.⁣
⁣
Ming River is bottled at 45% ABV and is a fantastic introduction to baijiu for those outside of China looking to test the waters without diving into the deep end.⁣
⁣
Most Baijiu cocktails I've seen take a tiki approach and I wanted to do that too. I didn't want to use rums to drown out the natural flavors of the Baijiu so I kept this a single spirit drink. ⁣
⁣
Just to reiterate, I won't ever do promotional or sponsored posts using products I don't respect.⁣
