63rd Street Punch
This drink’s appearance in our ‘70s singles bar theme is meant to represent a whole slew of tropical drinks that were popular such establishments. The main inspiration was the Goombay Smash, which originated in the Bahamas and typically features aged rum, coconut and apricot liqueurs, fruit juices, and bitters. Our take Americanizes the formula a bit, building on a base of overproof bourbon. I named it after the street on which the original T.G.I. Friday’s was located.
