Coast of Dufresne | Cocktail Party

Coast of Dufresne

This fabulous tropical cocktail is the creation of M. Carrie Allan, spirits columnist at The Washington Post. It’s named for Andy Dufresne, the soft-spoken protagonist of The Shawshank Redemption who escaped prison to a sunny Mexican beach.

The original recipe called for either sugarcane syrup or Demerara syrup, but we’ve had success with both simple syrup and homemade brown sugar syrup. The focus here is on the gorgeous grapefruit flavor; the sweetness just helps it shine brighter.

This is a clean, straightforward app that allows you quick access to find drinks to make based on ingredients that you have. I love it because the UI is intuitive and the drink selections are organized into subcategories. If you're looking to make your parties better or just learn how to make a new aperitif/nightcap, this app is for you.
