The Lonely Penguin - a BERRY delicious tropical drink you've never had before

Get your bottles at House of Bitter Bear 👉 https://houseofbitterbear.com Today we’re making the Lonely Penguin! This original drink of mine is unlike most cocktails. Spicy rye and blackberry are the main flavors, and bright citrus and coconut give the drink a tropical spin. We’re also going a little overboard with the garnishing here. Typically, I’m a minimalist when it comes to presentation, but today’s an exception. Cheers! We also just hit 500k subscribers! This milestone wouldn’t be possible without all of your support. Az and I appreciate you following the channel and mixing along with the recipes. Cocktails should always be fun, and you all make that easy. Let’s keep this going!
