Upside-Down Juice
Ok hear me out… Pineapple upside-down cake… but a cocktail 🤯
In honor of #NationalVodkaDay, I’ve teamed up with my friends at @weberranchvodka to make a cocktail that I swear tastes almost exactly like a caramel-y pineapple upside-down cake. The secret is all in this “Upside Down” juice which was inspired by this @respetoagave syrup that was recently shared with me. Respeto is made from mature agaves that are slow cooked in hornos (ovens) then crushed using a tahona, bringing out that deep/rich caramel notes that you’d only find at a hacienda in Mexico. When mixed with spices, pineapple and smoked sea salt, you have something thats sweet, fruity, savory and surprisingly balanced.
Comment “JUICE” and I’ll send you the exact recipe I used here.
This mix is then simply shaken with one of my favorite vodkas recently in Weber Ranch (also made from 100% agave) which produces a delicious, rich cocktail with a natural foam from the agave and pineapple. Give this one a shot, you’ll love it.
Cheers and happy national vodka day, y’all!
