Firebrand, noun: a person who is passionate about a particular cause, typically inciting change and taking radical action.
Ask us to boil the Mindpower brand down into a cocktail, and there’s no shortage of creative routes we can take. But at the heart of this distillation will always be a spirit that supports the unexpected. That takes the path less traveled to create something that’s never been done before.
So behold, the Firebrand. Mindpower in a glass. Drink creatively.
Ingredients
1½ oz. reposado tequila
1 oz. dry lambrusco
1½ oz. pineapple juice, plus the flesh and leaves of the pineapple for garnish
¾ oz. lime juice, plus the zest for garnish
¼ oz. simple syrup
1 dash angostura bitters
Instructions:
Add the tequila, pineapple, lime juice, simple, and bitters into a shaker full of ice. Shake for 30 seconds and strain over crushed ice into a Collins.
Use the back of a bar spoon to float the lambrusco over the base of the cocktail.
Finally, microplane a sprinkling of lime zest on top of the drink, and garnish with skewered pineapple and a few pineapple leaves placed vertically and serve. The precision is worth it.
