Sesame Street

Main Spirit Genever

Difficulty Medium

Technique Shaken

A riff on a Mai Tai, the Sesame Street is a creamy tropical drink created by Carlos Huizar at Hippo Los Angeles. With a combination of White & Jamaican Rum and banana Liqueur, this drink leans into the savoury, vegetal notes of tahini and grassy notes of Geneva for an elevation on the classic.

Tahini Orgeat – Steep the almonds in boiling hot water for 20 minutes. Blend thoroughly and fine strain, using a ladle to press out the liquid. If resulting almond milk is less than 275ml (not counting foam), top with hot water until the volume is 275ml. Add white sugar, turbinado sugar, kosher salt, cognac, amaretto, and rose water. Blend with tahini while the mixture is still hot. Store in a sealed container. Will keep in the refrigerator for 2 weeks.
