‘Sunchaser’ 🌞 a Jungle Bird 🦜riff. If you’ve spent time in #drinkstagram over the past few weeks you’ve probably noticed santa’s little helpers delivering a bevvy of #secretsanté’s and now it’s time I delivered my gift to @junglecruiserusso 🎉. . Secret Santé is the Jimmy Neutron brain blast of my beautiful friend @servedbysoberon where home enthusiast cocktail nerds design drinks for each other, paired up in a Secret Santa style lucky dip - probably from a giant vintage punch bowl in Matthias’ endangered cocktail dungeon. . Cruise, you tiki loving, Disney trotting, wonderful, talented geek 👉 I’m so glad this santé led me to find you and your fantastic feed of drinking loveliness 💥. . Your drink is of course Disney inspired; named after Launchpad McQuack’s airplane in Darkwing Duck. And for a tiki lover, inspired by a Disney bird, I had to make a ‘jungle bird’ riff (one of my all time favourite tikis) also because I know that earlier this year you got big time into infusing campari...so here’s the campari tiki. . I didn’t take the original spec or the Smugglers Cove one, but in your own words, riffing on SC, is very much in the spirit of SC. I split base my rum with Jamaican 🇯🇲 & Bermudan 🇧🇲, clarified the 🍍, then left out the sugar for some Japanese 🇯🇵 influence: (inspired by the name ‘Sunchaser’) funky, sweet umeshu. . Why choose the plane of Launchpad McQuack? Well Cruise, we share more than a love for cocktails, we also share a birthday 🤯. Disney only released one film in my birth year (Tron) and two in yours; and of the two ‘Ducktales the movie’ was a the film that I nearly wore out on VHS as a kid... & is where Launchpad made his debut. . Why choose a summery tiki drink...apart from you loving tiki? Because like me, I suspect you’ve had your fair share of joint christmas and birthday gifts...so this is the opposite of winter 😂. — • 30ml @goslingsrum • 30ml @blackwellrum • 30ml @umeshuya_london ebisu fuku ume • 20ml @campariuk • 60ml clarified 🍍 • 20ml lime 👉 shake & strain over ice.
