Alcoholic Cocktail Rocks or Old-Fashioned Glass 4 ingredients

Recipe

  • 2 oz Pampero Anniversario Rum
  • 1/2 oz Qi White Tea Liqueur
  • 1/2 Lime Juice
  • dash Syrup

Instructions

While most cocktails that are of unabashed quality are made with only fresh ingredients and little or no sweetened liquors, this drink is so delicious that in this case, using this new liquor, Qi White Tea Liquor makes for a new taste that may even please even the most classical drinker. To make this cocktail, one must first get a bottle of the Qi White Tea Liquor, available from St. George Spirits, the maker of Hanger 1 Vodka and other bottles. This drink was invented by Andrew Friedman, at Liberty - a scratch bar in Seattle, WA. First, get a chilled cocktail glass ready and put it to the side for a moment. Ready? In a mixing glass full of ice, add the Qi White Tea liquor, Pampero Anniversario Rum, Lime Juice and that bit of simple Syrup (if you'd like to sweeten the drink just a bit). Cover and shake the mixing glass for a moment and then drain these ingredients into your chilled cocktail glass. Add a Lime twist for garnish. Taste... Unique, no? Delicious.

About Flor de Mayo

The Flor de Mayo cocktail is an exquisite blend that captures the essence of tropical elegance and refined taste. This drink combines the rich, full-bodied character of Pampero Anniversario Rum with the delicate floral notes of Qi White Tea Liqueur. The addition of fresh lime juice introduces a zesty, citrus tang that balances the sweetness, while a dash of syrup ties the ingredients together, creating a harmonious symphony of flavors. The result is a cocktail that is both refreshing and complex, making it a perfect choice for those who appreciate nuanced and sophisticated drinks.

The origins of the Flor de Mayo cocktail are somewhat elusive, reflecting the creative experimentation often seen in contemporary mixology. It likely emerged as bartenders sought to craft new experiences by combining traditional spirits like rum with innovative liqueurs such as Qi White Tea. The name "Flor de Mayo," which translates to "May Flower," suggests a celebration of springtime blooms and renewal, fitting the drink's vibrant and refreshing profile. While it may not have the long-standing history of classic cocktails, the Flor de Mayo stands out for its unique flavor palette and modern twist on traditional ingredients, embodying the spirit of innovation in the cocktail world.

This cocktail is alcoholic, so drink responsibly! Best served in a Rocks or Old-Fashioned Glass, though any glass works!

Feel free to get creative with substitutions — try different fruit types, sugar substitutes, or liquor brands. Crafting cocktails should be fun!
