Cabo Verde Grogue Punch: Velvet Static

Praia, Cabo Verde Atlantic/Cape_Verde

History

Grogue, Cabo Verde’s sugarcane spirit, has been distilled on the islands for centuries. This punch follows the Atlantic tradition of balancing cane spirit with citrus and sugar. This is a clearly labeled house field riff rather than a historical classic: Black tea contributes dry tannin and a quietly smoky backbone.
