Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 oz Canadian Club 100% Rye whisky
  • 1 oz fresh lemon juice
  • 2 oz pineapple juice
  • 1 teaspoon tahini paste
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • Dried citrus peel for garnish
  • Sesame snap for garnish

Instructions

  • Pour the whisky, lemon juice, pineapple juice, tahini paste, and sesame oil into a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Use a smooth tahini to help everything blend.
  • Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds. This helps emulsify the tahini and mix the flavors while chilling the drink.
  • Strain the cocktail into a chilled rocks glass or tumbler filled with crushed ice. The crushed ice gives the drink its refreshing texture and slow melt.
  • Add a strip of dried citrus peel to the top. Perch a sesame snap on the edge or drop it into the glass to soak slightly and soften into the drink.
