The Awakening Craft Cocktail
It’s time to wake up and smell the roses – if the roses were Sichuan peppercorns and your morning regiment includes a craft cocktail! This month’s bartender special is named “The Awakening”. Its sensory-forward ingredients perk up any drinker’s palate.
This lively craft cocktail starts with a foundation of bright, balanced citrus flavors of lemon and grapefruit, combined with a floral pairing of elderflower liqueur and Roku gin. The star of the show is Sichuan peppercorn syrup. This peppercorn, which gains its name from the region in China where it’s grown, has a signature mouth-numbing quality that creates a tingling sensation on the tongue and lips. Being a pepper, it also adds a layer of warmth and spice.
The craft cocktail sensation utilizes all five of the senses to create an awakening experience.
