The Barbados Blush

cocktail-time-icon.jpgIt’s supposed to be springtime in New York, but let’s face it—it’s freezing. And New Yorkers are down in the dumps! You may not be able to afford a vacation, but ditch your parka, perk up, and pretend it’s summer already with the Barbados Blush. Concocted by Jason Littrell from the Randolph at Broome (and tasted by yours truly at Monday night’s Mixology 55 event at Cipriani Wall Street), it’s enough to trick your mind into believing you’ve gone tropical, if only for a moment. It might be chilly here in Manhattan, but it’s 75 degrees and sunny somewhere ...

The Barbados Blush
3/4 oz. raspberry-tea-infused simple syrup
3/4 oz. fresh lemon juice
1 oz. fresh tangerine juice
2 oz. Mount Gay Barbados rum

Shake and serve on the rocks with a spiral of tangerine peel.
