Recipe Hints
The citrus notes of Jost’s Tidal Bay, lime wedges and the tart haskap berry juice, compliment the spiciness of Propeller’s ginger beer, while Ironwork’s Apple Brandy gives this punch a sweet kick. This cocktail recipe is great on its own, but also pairs well with salty snacks, grilled seafood and BBQ chicken.
