Interesting that even in the chain of events depicted in the comments it’s started and ended by Republicans and the poster assigns all the blame to Democrats.

Too late to make the July cut off, but my favorite pineapple juice cocktail is the Jungle Bird.

Tropical and bitter. It’s the only tiki drink my wife likes. The classic recipe wants a little bit of banana liquor, I never have that at home and it’s just fine without it.

Nothing to submit this time. I tried a couple of things with Ancho Reyes, but nothing came together. I’ve had that bottle for almost two years and haven’t ever found any recipe with it that really works.

I was thinking of a Boulevardier when I started, although I deviated from that pretty quickly. I’ll riff on this a little more before the end of the month.

1 oz rye, 1 oz Cynar, 1/4 oz dry curacao, dash orange bitters. I would garnish with a twist of lemon or orange, but I haven’t had fresh citrus around for awhile.

It’s pleasantly bittersweet and warming, overall pretty good. The orange flavor goes well with both the rye and the Cynar. Could be better though, I think the sweetness is not right. Maybe a less sweet orange liqueur or maybe add a splash of maraschino to make it sweeter?
