Pearjito
Arielle Knecht, GM of the XIX Nineteen’s Terwillegar location, says their Pearjito is typically enjoyed as a single cocktail in a martini glass, but it is a recipe that can easily be doubled or tripled to make a large pitcher for a group of friends at a patio party.
20 mint leaves 5 oz Bacardi Limon 5 oz Grey Goose La Poire 5 oz lemonade 5 ozfresh lime juice 5 oz soda water
XIX Nineteen, Terwillegar, Edmonton
“This cocktail has been a favourite on the XIX Nineteen cocktail menu through all seasons,” she says. “But it’s becoming increasingly more popular as summer comes around.”
Serves 5
Muddle 20 mints leaves in the bottom of a large pitcher. Add all other ingredients and stir until mixed well. Top off the pitcher with a generous amount of ice.
“The ingredients are unique to ensure that this drink will stand out, but common enough to be quickly and straightforwardly combined if you need to impress your guests in a pinch!” she laughs. Fresh and sweet, the Pearjito cocktail is easy to drink, and when you pour it over ice, it makes a great, tasty and refreshing cocktail to sip outside in the sun. Here’s to summer sipping!
