Our Opuntia Prickly Pear Brandy is always right at home in a classic Paloma and is known to play very nicely with spice. We decided to bring both together for this picante version of a classic. Opuntia, fresh lime and Ojai Jelly’s Jalapeño Jelly create a fresh and spicy foundation upon which we layer the fresh and lightly sweetened East Imperial Grapefruit Soda.

This kit includes:

------------------------------------------------

Recipe (Each kit makes at least 8 Cocktails):

• 1.5 oz. Opuntia Prickly Pear Brandy

• 0.5 oz. lime juice (fresh squeezed if you have limes at home!)

• 0.5 oz. Jalapeno Jelly

• 3.5 oz. East Imperial Grapefruit Soda

While not a blended drink, we recommend dry blending the ingredients, which is to say we blend them without ice. Place brandy, lime juice and jelly in a blender. Blend on high for 15-20 seconds or until all jelly has been dissolved. Pour over ice and top with grapefruit soda. Give a couple light stirs and garnish with a lime wheel. Depending on the size of your blender, this may work best if you double the recipe and share half of it, or reserve half for later.

You won't find this Highball in a Tokyo whiskey bar, but our Strawberry Brandy-based sister cocktail is just as creamy and effervescent when topped with the tiny bubbles of East Imperial Superior Soda and is further enhanced with bay laurel and citrus aromatics that are common to our region and our distillery.  

This kit includes:

1 x 750mL (or 200mL) bottle of Strawberry Brandy

1 x 375mL bottle of Inna Bay Laurel Shrub

1 x 500mL bottle of East Imperial Superior Soda

(This kit no longer includes fresh citrus so you will need to find that near you!)

Recipe (Each kit makes at least 6 Cocktails):

• 1.5 oz Strawberry Brandy

• 0.5 oz Inna Bay Laurel Shrub

• 3.5 oz East Imperial Imperial Soda

Fill a highball glass with ice. Pour Strawberry Brandy and Inna Bay Laurel Shrub over ice and stir until the ice is just above the level of the liquid. Retop with ice and pour Club soda to fill.  Give two more gentle stirs and top with a thick Pixie Mandarin wheel.

This Flavorful take on the classic Old Fashioned is the perfect Winter Sipper! Featuring our 5 year aged Strawberry Brandy and paired with our first ever house-made black walnut bitters, you won’t need anything more than your ugly sweater and some comfy slippers to be all set for the Holidays.
