Build

Pre-batched on Draft Tap 1 (see batch-before-the-flood for full keg recipe). Pour ~4.5 oz over pebble ice in Collins or Pilsner glass. Top with Peychaud's spritz over mint bouquet at service.

Garnish

Mint bouquet + Peychaud's spritz (5-6 sprays on the mint)

Story

Lancey's draft swizzle. The batched-and-tapped delivery means consistent quality and faster service during rush. Falernum + cinnamon + pineapple = Caribbean tropical with structure.

Service note

Collins or Pilsner, pebble ice, finish with the mint and Peychaud's spritz at the pass. Slap the mint before placing.

Tasting notes

Tropical, spice-warmed, lightly bitter on the finish. The Peychaud's spritz is olfactory — first impression matters.
