Havana Twist
by Mocktail club
Havana Twist is a tantalizing fusion of cool cucumber, fresh mint, and zesty lime with a hint of cardamom and cloves. This delightful combination of spices adds an intricate dimension to the refreshing blend of cucumber, mint, and lime. Perfect as is, on the rocks, with a splash of soda or as a cocktail base in this month's drinks.
This month's jam
We made a special playlist just for you! Listen to it while you're enjoying your drink of the month or whenever the vibe is right.
let's get organized before you
start pulling out the ice!
With four unique recipes this month, here's what you'll need (in addition to what's in your box) for each drink.
***Please note, these are optional!*** Don't have a shaker? Mix it up in a drinking glass with a spoon! Don't have a jigger? Use a shot glass or tablespoon to measure. No fresh juice? Bottled works, too! Prefer your drinks more tart or sweet? Adjust the shrub and citrus juice to get your desired tartness/sweetness - feel free to experiment! These are just suggestions on how to get the most variation out of your box, but you can get creative on your own and unleash your inner mixologist.

Havana Nights recipe
.5 oz. lime mint shrub*
2 oz. Havana Twist Mocktail Club
2-3 oz. coconut water
.5-1 oz. lime juice*
Tajin spice for rim
Tajin pineapple for garnish
instructions
Pour some tajin spice onto a small plate. Moisten the rim of a coupe glass with a little bit of shrub and coat with tajin. In a blender with a handful of ice add liquid ingredients and blend. This cocktail is equally great shaken over ice if you want to skip the blender! Pour or strain into coupe glass and garnish with pineapple.
TO KEEP IN MIND WHILE MIXING IT UP:
For all recipes this month, keep in mind that shrub = added sweetness, and lime juice = added tartness. Prefer your drinks less sweet? Reduce the amount of shrub. Enjoy your drinks on the tarter side? Amp up the lime juice! Mixing up a good drink is more art than science, and personal taste may vary!

chill so it's ready for your Clandestino recipe. ** You can add 1 oz. of NA rum to any of the recipes this month if desired!
