1pt Sun Coast Cooler Recipe

1pt Sun Coast Cooler
Österlen on Sweden’s southern coast calls to city-weary travelers each summer, its farm stands and café gardens brimming with simple pleasures. This cocktail channels that spirit, with whiskey infused with warming cinnamon, citrusy orange zest, and crisp apple—balanced by a splash of club soda and a hint of lemon. Batch it for gatherings or serve as a mocktail, and let each sip take you to a Scandinavian summer, no plane ticket required.

STEP 1 - Easy All-Natural Infusion

Infuse Your Spirit:
Combine a 1pt Cinnamon Infusion Blend Packet with 375ml of whiskey in any lidded container. Let it infuse for 5-6 hours, then strain, and reserve the infused spirit for your cocktails. (No need to refrigerate - infused spirits can be stored indefinitely at room temperature)

1pt Cinnamon Infusion Blend Ingredients:
Orange Zest, Apple, Cinnamon, Rooibos, Ginger - no sugar, gluten, dairy, nuts, additives, or preservatives

Mocktail* Version:
Substitute water or a zero-proof spirit for the alcohol in this infusion and follow the same steps. (Non-alcoholic infusions should be refrigerated and used within 30 days)

STEP 2 - Mix Your Drink

Mixing Instructions:
Combine all ingredients except club soda in a shaker with ice and shake until chilled. Strain into a suitable glass over ice and top with club soda. For batching, combine all ingredients in a pitcher with ice (including club soda) and serve as normal.

Garnish:
Garnish with a lemon ribbon to add a bright, zesty touch.

STEP 3 - Enjoy!

For an Added Twist:
Add a splash of ginger beer to enhance the spiciness of the infusion.

Food Pairing Suggestions:
Cocktails shine especially brightly alongside appetizers that bring out their full range of flavors. For this cocktail, try these ideas based on the vibe you’re going for:

• Simple & Satisfying: Rosemary and sea salt roasted almonds, lightly toasted and served warm, bringing a savory crunch that pairs beautifully with the cocktail’s citrus and herbal notes.
• Classic & Comforting: Bruschetta topped with ricotta, honey, and a dash of cracked pepper, offering a creamy, sweet, and slightly spicy bite to balance the drink’s floral and bitter edge.
• Elevated & Elegant: Mini cheddar and chive scones, offering a buttery, savory nibble with a hint of sharpness to complement the drink’s bright citrus flavors.
