Kingston Soundsystem | Cocktail Party

Kingston Soundsystem

Genius mixologist Shannon Mustipher invented the Kingston Soundsytem in response to a challenge from PUNCH magazine: translate a beloved song into cocktail form.

Mustipher selected her favorite reggae song: “Skylarking” by Horace Andy, one of the most influential names of the 70’s Dub and Dance Hall scenes in Kingston, Jamaica.

The Kingston Soundsystem recipe draws on a bevy of classic Caribbean flavors: aged pot still Jamaican rum (it’s also great with pineapple rum), laser-hot overproof rum, and the incredible melange of fruit flavors offered by the humble soursop fruit. The surprise twist? An injection of Alpine herbs, from the gentian-forward Suze.

Terrific Design!

Absolutely love this app. Gives a great visual representation of the ingredients and the user interface is well designed. Been using it to learn how to make cocktails, the descriptions are great about the drinks. As a novice barman, I love that I am learning the origin of the drink and alternative ways to make the drink. Be prepared to have a wide range of alcohol at you disposal! I can make heaps of drinks with the decent home collection I have, but seeing all the recipes what I could make gets me excited! Highly recommended, everyone loves the person who makes excellent drinks!
