Tiger’s Claw

Written By Daniel Zajic

TIGER’S CLAW

  • 2 oz. / 60 ml. tequila reposado

  • ½ oz. / 15 ml. coffee liqueur

  • 1 oz. / 30 ml. pineapple juice

  • ¾ oz. / 22.5 ml. fresh lime juice

  • ½ oz. / 15 ml. cinnamon syrup

  • 2 dashes orange bitters

METHOD
add all ingredients to shaker tin / shake with ice until chilled / strain into a glass over crushed or pebble ice / garnish with a bouquet of mint after slapping it to express the oils and an orange slice (I used an orange twist)

ABOUT
This cocktail was created by Erick Castro (@hungrybartender) at Gilly’s House of Cocktails in San Diego, CA. It’s a mix of reposado tequila, pineapple, and lime that feels light on its feet, but the coffee liqueur and cinnamon give it a roasted depth and warm spice. I could enjoy this one year round. Cheers y’all!
