A gin cocktail that sips like a Martini on a tropical vacay.

Josh Ibañez first experimented with this recipe in Houston with his managers at the time, Terry Williams and 2018 Imbibe Bartender of the Year Alex Negranza, looking for a cocktail that sipped like a Martini but skewed tropical. These days, Ibañez mixes the cocktail at at Rumba in Seattle, combining gin and Cocchi with rhum agricole and passion fruit.

  • 1 barspoon passion fruit syrup
  • Tools:barspoon, strainer
  • Glass:Nick & Nora
  • Garnish:dehydrated lemon wheel

Preparation

Stir all of the ingredients with ice, then strain into a chilled glass and garnish.
