Crossing State Lines

Inspired by Meaghan Dorman’s ‘Getaway Car,’ which is a fun riff on a Jungle Bird. Tequila and ancho liqueur are very complementary - just as the rum and Demerara Gum Syrup are. Together these heavy flavor pairings are lengthened with pineapple juice to keep this one an easy drinking sipper.

Ingredients:

• ½ oz Demerara Gum Syrup
• 1 oz aged rum
  
• ½ oz Ancho Reyes Ancho liqueur
  
• ½ oz reposado tequila
  
• 1½ oz fresh pineapple juice
  
• ½ oz fresh lime juice
  
• 1 dash of mole bitters

• Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker
• Add ice and shake hard for 10 seconds
• Strain into a highball glass filled with ice
  

Glass:

• highball
  

Garnish:

• lime wedge
