Jungle Bird
An intensely complex Tiki drink, the Jungle Bird combines common tropical flavors like dark rum and pineapple with the unique herbaceousness of Leroux® Bitter Orange Apéritif.
1 oz Leroux® Bitter Orange Apéritif
1 ½ oz Trader Vic’s® Dark Rum
1 oz pineapple juice
½ oz lime juice
½ oz simple syrup
Pineapple fronds for garnish, optional
Add all ingredients to shaker with ice. Shake well and strain into a glass with ice.
Jez sez:
“I like to think that if I were a jungle bird, I would be a cassowary on account of the lack of a keel on my sternum and my general flightlessness.”
Venetian Spritz
Refreshingly cool and bubbly fresh, the bitter orange and sweet wine flavors of a spritz were made for patio season—or any time you need a taste of patio season.
2 oz Leroux® Bitter Orange Apéritif
3 oz Prosecco
Splash of soda water
Orange wedge, optional
Fill a wine glass with ice cubes. Add all ingredients. Garnish with orange wedge and serve.
Jez sez:
“Rumors persist of a spritz so profoundly effervescent that one sip can send the imbiber bubbling to the heavens. Is this that spritz? No one has survived the journey to say.”
Naked & Famous
A riff (like the Paper Plane) on a Last Word (itself a riff on a Corpse Reviver), the Naked & Famous blends smoky, funky mezcal with bittersweet, herbal Leroux® Bitter Orange Apéritif.
1 oz Leroux® Bitter Orange Apéritif
1 oz mezcal
1 oz green or yellow Chartreuse
1 oz lime juice
Add all ingredients to shaker with ice. Shake well and strain into chilled coupe.
Jez sez:
“Strangely, I only became famous once I heeded Baba’s advice and put more clothes on. Nobody was more surprised than me!”
