FIELD LOG
Potted Parrot
The Potted Parrot is a tropical twist on a citrusy classic. Light rum forms the base, providing a clean spirit character. A blend of fresh orange and lemon juices offers a vibrant tartness that cuts through the rum's sweetness. Orgeat syrup, with its nutty almond and marzipan notes, adds a touch of complexity and balances the citrus. Some recipes incorporate a hint of simple syrup or rock candy syrup for additional sweetness. This refreshing and vibrantly colored tiki drink, often garnished with a mint sprig, is perfect for those who enjoy a tropical take on a familiar flavor profile.
