5 COCKTAILS FOR
BACKCOUNTRY BARTENDING

Inspired by the wild, and developed by some of our favorite mixologists, these recipes are designed to be served as strong as the shaker they came from.

1

Desert Pear-adise

This refreshing desert-inspired cocktail packs a slightly sweet and smoky punch.

INGREDIENTS

30 - 45 ml Blanco Tequila

15 ml Mezcal

30 ml Prickly Pear Syrup (see recipe below)

1 Lime Quarter

3 Mint Leaves

2 Cucumber Discs

Pinch of Chipotle Powder

90 ml Soda Water

Muddle the lime, mint, cucumber, and chipotle powder into a Rambler™ Cocktail Shaker, then add a scoop of ice, grilled prickly pear syrup, tequila, and mezcal. Now shake it like you mean it. Rim a Rambler® 295 ml Lowball Tumbler with chili-lime salt and fill it with ice before straining the contents of the shaker into the tumbler and top with soda water. For a desert-worthy garnish, attach a strawberry to a halved lime with a toothpick to resemble a fruiting nopal.

WILD INGREDIENT: GRILLED PRICKLY PEAR SYRUP

INGREDIENTS

1.36 kg Prickly Pear

1 Lemon

2 tbsp. Olive Oil

2-3 cups Sugar

Halve each pear and one lemon, then coat with olive oil and grill skin side up for 2-3 minutes — set the lemon aside. Remove the seeds and skin from the pears, then juice. Pour the juice in a small pot or skillet and slowly heat it up before adding sugar and the juice from your grilled lemon. Stir until the sugar dissolves, let it cool, then bottle it up.

INGREDIENTS

60 ml Tequila

22 ml Maple Syrup

15 ml Triple Sec

Bomb Pop & Tonic

The adult version of the classic summertime sweet treat.

INGREDIENTS

60 ml Gin

30 ml Tonic Syrup

30 ml Lime juice

15 ml Raspberry Aperol Syrup

15 ml Blood Orange Blue Curaçao

Add two scoops of pebble ice, gin, Liber & Co Tonic Syrup, lime juice into a Rambler™ Cocktail Shaker and blitz with an immersion blender until silky smooth. Next, pour your frozen gin, and tonic into your Rambler® 295 ml Lowball Tumbler and add the raspberry Aperol syrup to one side of the glass and the blood orange blue curaçao to the opposite side of the glass so that you have a red white and blue “Bomb Pop & Tonic.”
