Piña Verde | Cocktail Party

Piña Verde

Master mixologist Erick Castro of San Diego’s Polite Provisions tinkered with the typical Piña Colada recipe, adding ever-greater shares of Green Chartreuse to get more of its complex, herbaceous flavor. Eventually, he ditched the rum entirely and maxed-out the Chartreuse, tinkering with the recipe until he landed on this recipe for the Piña Verde.

It’s difficult to specify how much ice should go into a blended drink; much depends on the type of ice you use, the style of blender, and so on. Start with about a cupful of ice for each serving, and add more ice, a half-cup at a time, until you’ve achieved a thick mixture that can’t quite hold a spoon upright.

Instructions

Blend all ingredients with about a cupful of ice, adding more if needed. Pour into a glass or tiki mug and garnish with a sprig of mint. It’s also nice with some fresh nutmeg grated on top.

An awesome cocktail app with curated recipes

I'm shocked that there are no reviews listed for this app. I found it on reddit's cocktails forum. The drink list in this app is much shorter than in many of the other apps I've seen, but the quality and reliability of the recipes is much much higher. These are more like the drinks you would get at a good mixology bar instead of the drink equivalent of your aunt's jello fruit mold that people just "love." I much prefer a list of cocktails that are reliable, good and repeatable than a huge pile of garbage recipes. This app is great and delivers great, reliable cocktails.
