Warming weather signals a prime time for tasty highballs. Tiger’s Claw is a unique tall drink which manages to span all kinds of seasons from spring to winter. A blend of tequila, tropical juices and bold coffee notes creates a flavour fusion worth every cocktail enthusiast’s attention.
Base of the cocktail is aged, mellowed vegetal tequila notes, pairing very well with the balanced sweet-tart fruitiness of pineapple. A touch of cinnamon syrup further takes the cocktail into a distinct tropical direction with coffee liqueur giving the drink a caffeinated kick with a hint of bitterness. A touch of lime juice balances out the specs with a tart boost, while a couple of dashes of orange bitters binds everything together.
Tiger’s Claw is a tasty and complex highball full of strong and intriguing flavours, great choice for any cocktail lover.
