Sidewinder’s Fang

We just got the new book from Smuggler’s Cove, and it’s a treasure trove of classic and new tiki recipes. This was one of our favorites from the book, and with only 6 ingredients, it’s fairly simple by tiki standards.

Shake everything (except for the sparkling water) with ice. Pour unstrained into a wine glass, large snifter, or short glass. Top with the sparkling water and add more ice to fill.

Garnish with a freshly-slapped bunch of mint – and if you’re feeling artistic, cut a long strip or orange or grapefruit peel into a snake shape, with cloves for eyes.
