Yankee Transfusion Cocktail Recipe

Our Yankee Transfusion Cocktail takes a Southern classic and makes it all fancy-like. We just can’t help ourselves, Southern friends. As soon as we cross the Mason-Dixon we’re crying for good pizza and bagels and now we’re even ruining one of your cocktails. But really we’re making it better. Just like taking over your county development boards and mandating a pizza shop on every corner. We’re making it all better.

*We used Ginger’s Revenge ginger beer, which is much drier than Crabbies. If using Crabbies, reduce simple syrup to 1/4 oz.

Instructions

  1. In a shaker, add lime juice and mint. Muddle mint for about 10 seconds.
  2. Add the rest of the ingredients and ice, then shake until well-chilled. In a rocks glass with ice, pour over bar strainer. Garnish with violet blossoms. Enjoy.
