1 oz blended lime cordial
1/2 oz ginger syrup
6 oz sparkling water
Build in a collins glass over ice.
Notes
I like this even better than the lime spritz. The added ginger is so refreshing, and the brightness of the ginger counteracts the extra sweetness perfectly!

Simple and refreshing!

1 oz grenadine
6 oz sparkling water
3-5 dashes Angostura Bitters
Build in a collins glass over ice.
So refreshing! I had just done the grenadine and La Croix when my husband suggested adding the bitters. Makes all the difference. Next time I might try adding a lime wedge.

2 oz sparkling water
2 oz St. George Botanivore Gin
1 oz blended lime cordial
Build in a glass over a large ice cube.
This tastes dangerously refreshing. So great on a hot day!
★ Original Cocktail ★
2 oz Brinley Shipwreck Coconut Rum
3/4 oz caramelized condensed coconut milk
1/2 oz blended lime cordial
1/4 oz lime juice
4 drops saline solution
grated graham cracker garnish
Shake and strain over crushed or pebble ice. Grate graham cracker over the top.
This is my first original cocktail, and it nails the key lime pie flavor. This took some trial and error, including using heavy cream, which didn’t work. Brinley Shipwreck is key here, because of its thicker, sweeter texture.

3/4 oz Wild Turkey American Honey Liqueur
1/4 oz Mellow Corn Whiskey
3 oz cereal milk
grated nutmeg for garnish
Stir ingredients and pour over a large ice cube. Grate nutmeg over the top.
This is fantastic, but took some trial and error. I first tried a recipe with bourbon, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, which made the drink too boozy and interfered with the sweet, toasted flavor of the milk. Then I found another recipe with bourbon, corn whiskey, and Bärenjäger honey liqueur. Using what I had on hand—and adhering to my preference for less boozy drinks—I first tried mixing just the milk with American Honey liqueur. I could taste the cereal milk, but almost no booze. Just 1/4 oz of that Mellow Corn 100-proof Bottled in Bond corn whiskey does the trick!
★ Original Cocktail ★
3 oz POG (2 parts passion fruit juice, 1 part orange juice, 2 parts guava juice)
1 oz pineapple juice
1/2 oz fresh lime juice
1/2 oz lime cordial
1 oz coconut rum
Mix it all up and serve over ice.
I came up with this as a variation on the Leilani volcano cocktail. Easy to make a pitcher of this!
