Caipirinha

Shake all ingredients in a cocktail shaker. Strain into a chilled coupe or martini glass, and garnish with 3 coffee beans, symbolizing health, wealth, and happiness.

Quick tip: To make simple syrup, combine 1 part boiling water and 1 part sugar. Allow it to cool before using in the recipe. If you use a sweeter coffee liqueur, such as Kahlua, you may not need the additional sweetness from the simple syrup. 

Since Mr. Black isn't as sweet as Kahlua, I do recommend adding simple syrup if you use it. Mr. Black has the best coffee flavor out of all the coffee liqueurs.

Build this one right in the glass. Add the Artet and sweet vermouth to a rocks glass, fill with ice, and give it a quick stir. Top with the non-alcoholic sparkling rosé. I used Wolffer Estate Summer in a Bottle Garnish with an orange twist. A channel knife makes a long, thin peel you can curl around a barspoon into a spiral.

THC Negroni Sbagliato

Add the vodka, Chareau, apple liqueur, apple juice, ricemilk, simple syrup, lemon juice, and apple bitters to a shaker with ice. Shake well and strain into your glass (the Omega Mart bar serves it in a Silipint silicone cup, which fits the vibe). Garnish with a cherry, an apple slice, and the all-important buzz button.

Want my upgraded version? For the "Happle Juice 2.0" I swap in 2 oz of pear vodka, skip the apple liqueur, cut the apple juice to 0.5 oz, and bump the ricemilk to 1.5 oz. Pear and apple are best friends, and the extra ricemilk gets the texture closer to the original (that stuff tastes like a drinkable Rice Krispie treat).

Cap with a little more pebble ice and garnish with a lime wheel.

Bitter Mai Tai

Add the rye, Jim Beam Pineapple, and chili lime bitters to a mixing glass with a few one-inch ice cubes. Stir until the glass shows a nice frost, a sign it's properly chilled and diluted.

Jack the Leprechaun

**Unclarified (ready in a minute):** shake everything with ice and strain over fresh ice, or just open pour. Garnish with a lime twist. It's very ginger-forward this way and genuinely good.

**Clarified:** stir the cocktail together without ice. Add about 2 oz of whole milk to a large jar, then slowly pour the cocktail over the milk. The citrus curdles the milk on contact, and those curds grab the cloudy stuff. Rest it in the refrigerator overnight (about 4 hours works in a pinch), then pour it slowly through a coffee filter. The first pass takes around 45 minutes. Run it through the same filter and curds two or three times for maximum clarity, since the milk is doing the work, not the filter. Serve over clear ice with a lime twist and watch people refuse to believe there's anything in the glass.
