Lurking just below the surface of an unsuspecting Milwaukee suburb lies The Black Lagoon Room; a mind-blowing Tiki bar in the basement of Pete Klockau and Katie Monachos. They Spilled The Beans for us last summer, and were kind enough to create a couple of cocktails for us, utilizing our Midnight Sun cold brew blend. Behold the "Glenn or Glenda?" and the "Twist of Cane" (Oh Yeah)!
The "Glenn or Glenda?" (L) and the "Twist of Cane" (R)
The "Glenn or Glenda?"
This one has more "traditional" Tiki drink elements with the addition of lime, sugar, coconut, and curacao.

-1 oz Coconut Syrup (I use a 1:1 ratio of 1/2 cup each simple syrup and coconut milk + 10-15 drops of rose water)
-1/2 oz Pierre Ferrand Dry Curacao
-1/2 oz Cinnamon Syrup
-3/4 oz Glassworks Cold Brew
-1/2 oz Fresh Lime Juice
