About the Drink

This is a variation on a classic tiki cocktail called a Jet Pilot. It’s not a serious cocktail, it’s about fun. “These are complex and really tough drinks to make; there’s a lot of ingredients, layering all those ingredients together can be difficult…there’s a lot of room for error, but there’s also a lot of room for cocktails that really sing…I’ve never put that drink in front of a person who didn’t smile and take a picture of it.”
