Tiki T. here wanting to share a FANTASTIC discovery in the world of bar mixes.
Though I may pine for the halcyon days when our parents would fill their carts with neon margarita mix and puckery daiquiri powder in little envelopes (Thank you, Mr. Boston!) those days are done. Our generation has acquired a real taste for fresh juices, herbs and tinctures in our drinks. The words of a douchebag hipster? I hope not! I can still get down with a Clamato and vodka, no problem. But if bar mixes are evolving and getting so delicious, why not join the fun?
This brings me to the new products that Ned and I have been getting from a brand called RIPE https://www.drinkripe.com/. An upstart company from Wallingford, CT, RIPE was started by two guys who simply wanted to make a good cocktail better. These bar juices add a lot of "extra" to your standards: As in extra umami to a Bloody Mary, extra zest to a rum punch, and extra tartness to a Tom Collins. Some flavors include: Lemon Agave (Tiki's Fave), San Marzano Tomato, Agave Margarita Mix and Agave Punch. You really should try any of these. They are becoming readily available at most Connecticut liquor stores, and you'll also be supporting the local economy. I'll drink to that!
XO,
Tiki. T.
