Be-stir My Heart, it’s Tiki Time!

Be-stir my heart tiki drink
Yay! It’s the first Home Bar Awards challenge of 2021, the perfect thing to take my mind off of when they are going to announce the 2020 finalist winner. February’s challenge is stirred Tiki drinks, and who doesn’t love a Tiki drink? Luckily, I just happened to have a Cherimoya going bad on my counter, and no idea what to do with it. If you don’t know what a Cherimoya is, also known as a custard apple,  join the club. Turns out, it’s a South American fruit with soft pulpy flesh, and I think it tastes a bit like a pear/ kiwi mash up. Obviously, it would make a perfect syrup, and jumping off point for my Tiki drink.

Once I had decided on using the Cherimoya syrup I decided that I needed a fun garnish and picked up some edible flowers. This was my inspiration to use floral liqueurs, in addition to the citrus juices and some funky rum. I’m not sure if its a requirement, but I also threw in some falernum and bitters just to circle back to the Tiki theme.  I shelled half a lime and filled it with the edible flowers as the perfect garnish for my new beautiful hand sculpted copper Tiki mug.

Beautiful Be-Stir My Heart cocktail. May I ask where you purchased your Tiki Mugs? I like yours a lot, and they would be the PERFECT gift for a friend of mine who's wild about Tiki.

Thanks so much.
