ABOUT
This is a tropical cocktail I pulled from Liber & Co.’s website. It’s a well-balanced build that leans bright and aromatic, with the Jamaican rum adding structure, depth, and a little funk. The apricot rounds out the acidity from the lime, and the passionfruit syrup adds a touch of sweetness and tartness. Cheers y’all.
