Ingredients

Deselect All

1 3/4 ounces gin

1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice

1/2 ounce Sunflower Seed Orgeat, recipe follows

1/4 ounce falernum liqueur

1/4 ounce passionfruit purée

Orange twist, edible flower and pineapple frond, for garnish

Sunflower Seed Orgeat:

2 cups sunflower seeds

Granulated sugar, as needed

Directions

Add the gin, lemon juice, Sunflower Seed Orgeat, falernum and passionfruit purée to a cocktail shaker with ice and shake until well chilled. Strain into a hurricane glass with crushed ice and garnish with an orange twist (see Cook’s Note), edible flower and pineapple frond.

Sunflower Seed Orgeat:

Set a large skillet over medium heat and add the sunflower seeds. Cook, stirring often, until the seeds crackle lightly and smell toasted, about 5 minutes. Add 4 cups water, reduce the heat to low and cook, without bringing to a boil, about 15 minutes.
Transfer the mixture to a food processor and pulse until ground. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer set over a medium bowl. Discard the solids, saving the liquid sunflower seed milk. Measure the sunflower seed milk and return it to the bowl. Then measure the same amount of sugar and add it to the bowl. Stir the mixture while warm to completely dissolve the sugar. Strain into an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
