Tiki bars have become so popular in the last year or so. It used to be that you had to go to either a resort-y beach town to find one, or you’d see one in a random town. But not now. Now they’re everywhere. Our mid-sized town has three or four alone. Celebrate that with a Holy Mole cocktail. It’s a great tiki bar type cocktail that you can totally make at home.
Most tiki bar cocktails are rum based. The Holy Mole happens to be a fruity bourbon cocktail that has a bit of a kick. It’s perfect for summer – and beyond.
Holy Mole Bourbon Tiki Cocktail
There are a few things you need to make the Holy Mole. A great bar set is item number one. You’ll need jiggers, a shaker, and a strainer. You’ll need a couple flavors of bitters – orange and Aztec Chocolate. Every good bar should have a few bitters, and they’re a great way to bump up your cocktail repertoire. You’ll also need luxardo cherries. These are simply a great brand of maraschino cherries that are ideal for cocktails.
