Garagiste Meadery - Holiday Isle Special

Holiday Isle Special is made in collaboration with Corporate Ladder. We took inspiration from Islamorada’s iconic Holiday Isle Tiki Bar Rum Runner cocktail. Credited with creating the drink in the 1950’s. Their original cocktail recipe includes pineapple juice, orange juice, blackberry liqueur, banana liqueur a splash of grenadine and lots of rum. We made our mead with some amazing orange blossom honey, pineapples and bananas from Costa Rica, tangerines from Uruguay, blackberries and cherries from the US. We kept it wildish with this one. Fermented with a Saccharomyces hybrid known for tropical esters then aged on rum staves.
