Afternoon Delight
Hey, just because its #DryJanuary is over doesn’t mean you have to start boozing hard again.
Ease into it with one of my favorite low-ABV recipes. I feel like I struck gold with this one, its light and refreshing afternoon sipper. The herbal/bitter/fruity rhubarb notes in Zucca Rabarbaro play along well with the sweetness of the pineapple and acidity of lemon. Cheers y’all.
ingredients:
1½ oz | 45 ml Zucca Rabarbaro
¾ oz | 22.5 ml Fresh Lemon Juice
1½ oz | 45 ml Pineapple Juice
Pineapple Sparkling Water
Lemon Wheel (Garnish)
Luxardo Cherry (Garnish)
instructions:
In any glass, add lemon juice, Zucca, pineapple then add crushed or pebble ice. Top with soda water and top off with more ice, then lightly stir before serving. Garnish with lemon wheel, cherry, and pineapple frond (optional).

I’m gonna keep on dancin…
The Pink Pony Club comes from Leandro DiMonrova (@theeducatedbarfly), and it’s built specifically for Waterloo Gin’s Prickly Pear & Rose expression. This gin starts with their award-winning No. 9 Gin base and infuses it with prickly pear fruit, citrus, rose petals, and soft floral botanicals. Those flavors don’t just sit in the glass—they anchor the whole cocktail. Strawberry syrup, Campari, fresh lemon juice, and an egg white create brightness and structure. The result is pink, balanced, and genuinely delicious. Plus, during October, Waterloo Gin supports Susan G. Komen, so this drink means something beyond the coupe.
Cheers, y’all!
