Caribou Lou Cocktail
If you’re looking for a cocktail that embodies the essence of Missouri’s vibrant party culture, look no further than the Caribou Lou. Made famous by rapper Tech N9ne, who hails from Kansas City, Caribou Lou is a fruity and strong concoction that packs a punch.
Mix equal parts of coconut rum, pineapple juice, and 151-proof rum in cocktail shaker filled with ice. Cover and shake until shaker becomes frosty and most of the ice has melted. Strain ingredients into Collins glass filled with ice, and you’ll have a tropical cocktail that’s sure to get the party started.
Golden Glow Martini
Fill cocktail shaker with ice. Add 2 ounces bourbon, 2 ounces dark rum, 1 ounce lemon juice, 1 ounce orange juice and 1 ounce simple syrup. Cover and shake until shaker becomes frosty and most of the ice has melted. Strain ingredients into chilled martini glass. Add 1 ounce grenadine to experience the layers of color and flavors.
Experience the beauty of Missouri’s breathtaking sunsets with the Golden Hour cocktail. This drink captures the golden hues of the setting sun while watching the setting sun. Sip on this sophisticated cocktail and let its flavors transport you to the serene landscapes of the Ozarks.
Missouri Mule
Inspired by the famous Moscow Mule, the Missouri Mule is a refreshing concoction that takes this classic cocktail to new heights. No vodka or ginger beer required.
Add 2 ounces bourbon, 2 ounces applejack brandy, 2 ounces Campari, 1 ounce triple sec and 1 ounce lemon juice to mason jar (it’s a mule of, course it’s made in a mason jar). Add ice, stir well, and you have a thirst-quenching cocktail that perfectly captures the spirit of the state.
Mizzou Tailgate Cocktail
Game days in Missouri are synonymous with tailgating, and the Mizzou Tailgate Cocktail pays homage to this beloved tradition. Combining the flavors of only two ingredients, this cocktail exudes the spirit of camaraderie and celebration that fills the air during pre-game festivities.
Fill mason jar with ice (or red solo cup, tailgates and red solo cups go very well together). Add 6 ounces hard apple cider and 6 ounces ginger beer. Stir well.
Tiger Punch Cocktail
Fill cocktail shaker with ice. Add 3 ounces raspberry vodka, 1 ounce charmbord and 3 ounces pineapple juice (Missouri seems to like pineapple juice?!). Cover and shake until shaker becomes frosty and most of the ice has melted. Strain into cocktail glass filled with ice. Garnish with sliced oranges and blackberries.
