The Tiger Lily is ideal for those moments when you are in a mood for a fresh, floral daytime or brunch cocktail. Honey syrup also lends a creamy mouthfeel, with honey’s added floral and herbal notes.


Yuzu is one of the freshest, clearest expressions of citrus in a liqueur that I have experienced and it brings a delightful combination of crisp, punchy citrus and floral notes, while the soft, mellow botanicals from the elderflower liqueur add a hint of honeyed sweetness.

RECOMMENDED SPIRITS:
Campo de Encanto Pisco
Marie Brizard Yuzu Liqueur Giffard Fleur de Sureau Sauvage

11⁄2 ounces pisco
1⁄2 ounce yuzu liqueur
1⁄8 ounce elderflower liqueur

  1. For the honey syrup, Use the same 1:1 ratio for simple syrup with any variety of honey— I like clover or buckwheat, but try your local favorite.
  2. Add a generous pinch of sea salt to the water for salted honey syrup or an equal volume of thawed passion fruit puree for passion fruit–honey syrup.
  3. Keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  4. For the tiger lily cocktail, combine all in a shaker with a small scoop of crushed ice.
  5. Aerate with a stand mixer or wand blender for 10 to 15 seconds—the liquid should be slightly frothy.
  6. Strain into a hurricane glass over pebbled ice and garnish with a pineapple spear, an orange twist, and an edible flower.
