BOLD | sour | easy

Meet your new favourite holiday drink: the Sri Lankan Arrack Sour — a tropical twist on the classic whiskey sour that tastes like vacation in a glass. Instead of simple syrup, we’re using kithul treacle, that rich, smoky, caramel-y gold straight from the island, which pairs too perfectly with arrack’s warm, coconutty vibes.

It’s bright, sweet, tangy, and honestly feels like someone took December and gave it a Lankan makeover. Shake it up for a dinner party, pregame, or literally any night you want to pretend you’re sipping under palm trees. A simple, fun, dangerously sippable cocktail that brings a little Lanka magic to the holidays. Cheers!
