Curious Elixir No. 6
A non-alcoholic Piña Colada riff built on coconut cream and pineapple, with ginger, nutmeg, and black pepper pushing it in a spicier direction than the original.
About This Drink
Curious No. 6 uses the Piña Colada as a starting point then departs from it fairly decisively. Coconut cream and organic pineapple juice concentrate are the base, but ginger, nutmeg, and black pepper give the drink a warmth that the original doesn't have. Oat milk adds a creamier texture, and lemon balm and chicory root bring a herbal bitterness at the close. The colour is a creamy off-white with a pale golden tinge. On the nose: fresh pineapple and baking spice, with coconut rising underneath. On the palate, lime and orange concentrates cut through the richness of the coconut cream, keeping it from cloying. The finish fades through ginger and lemon balm, dry rather than sweet. Serve over a large ice cube with a fresh grate of nutmeg.
