Agave Month 2024 – Wrecking Ball
Well, you could call this a Magarita variation or a Agave White Negroni with lime… Whatever you want to call it. The drink really is delicious and a great addition for Agave Month 2024.

For the start of Agave Month 2024, I have something special for you. On one hand, the drink has mezcal as a base and on the other hand a green mandarin eau de vie. On top of that, the recipe is based on the Last Word cocktail.
Let us end Tropical Month 2024 with a rather unknown tropical classic. Donn the Beachcomber created this drink which is named after the morse code for the letter ‘V’. This variation from Martin Cate of Smuggler’s Cove uses Vieux Rhum Agricole as a base spirit instead of just ‘gold rum’.
Yes, I know, this article is about another Jungle Bird variation. I just cannot help it, this is where my mind goes when I think about cocktails inspired by bird related songs. Yet, to differentiate the recipe more from my other version this tropical month, I turned this one into a milk punch.
I have to admit that I regularly neglect to remix interesting recipes. The reason for that is that I have a long backlog of already mixed drinks and an even longer one of recipe ideas. Yet, with the ‘Turnbuckle’ I managed to make the cocktail almost as soon as I discovered the recipe.
Tropical Month would not be complete without a Jungle Bird variation. In this case, I added more complexity through pineapple rum as well as a famous German herbal liqueur.
I was wondering if you could turn the peculiar Arsenic And Old Lace cocktail into a tropical drink. While the Original is weird, its mix of ingredients is also very intriguing. So, I set to work and this is the delicious result!
It might be an underrated tropical drink, but the Rum Punch does deserve a closer look. Therefore, I came up with my own version. I actually mixed this drink back in 2022. This means, I am diving deep into the recipe backlog here.
I came up with this drink during Tropical Month 2023, but did not came around to write about it. Since this was a great combination of flavours, I thought I just post it this year. However, this also means I am not completely sure how I got to the specific recipe.
Last, but not least, I am featuring a non-alcoholic cocktail I came up with last year, but only got around to try now. The drink features some trending ingredients and also sticks to the theme of this year’s Dry January – tea.
