Dunderstruck Cocktail Set: Liber & Co. Pacific Strawberry Syrup + Campari + Appleton Estate Rare Casks 12 Yr Reserve + St. George Absinthe Verte

The Dunderstruck Cocktail Set is perfect for crafting complex, layered cocktails that balance fruity sweetness, herbal complexity, and rich aged rum flavors. Try it in tiki-style drinks or spirit-forward concoctions during warm summer evenings, pairing beautifully with grilled tropical fruits or spicy Caribbean dishes. For a simpler serve, mix the rum and strawberry syrup over ice, finishing with a dash of absinthe for an aromatic flourish.

Nose: Bright strawberry aroma leads, followed by herbal notes of anise and fennel from the absinthe. Subtle hints of caramel and oak from the aged rum mix with Campari's bitter orange scent.

Palate: Initial burst of sweet strawberry quickly balanced by Campari's signature bitterness. The rum adds depth with flavors of vanilla, baking spices, and toasted nuts. Absinthe contributes a complex herbal layer with wormwood and licorice notes. Texture is rich and velvety.

Finish: Long and warming. Bitter elements from Campari linger, complemented by the rum's oak tannins. Strawberry sweetness fades to reveal subtle absinthe herbs. Leaves a pleasant dryness with hints of anise and citrus peel.

The Dunderstruck Cocktail Set combines the vibrant Liber & Co. Pacific Strawberry Syrup with the bitter complexity of Campari, the rich depth of Appleton Estate Rare Casks 12 Year Reserve rum, and a hint of St. George Absinthe Verte for an intriguing anise note. What makes this set unique is the careful balance of flavors achieved through precise measurements and the use of high-quality, artisanal ingredients, each bringing its own distinct production process to the mix—from the small-batch strawberry syrup to the long-aged Jamaican rum.

• The Pacific Strawberry Syrup in this cocktail set is made with real Californian strawberries and Japanese yuzu, creating a unique flavor profile that mimics the taste of wild coastal strawberries found along the Pacific coastline.
• Appleton Estate Rare Casks 12 Yr Reserve is crafted using a centuries-old technique called "cane to cup," where the distillery grows its own sugarcane, ensuring complete control over the rum's flavor from start to finish.
• St. George Absinthe Verte is one of the first legal absinthes produced in the United States since 1912, crafted using real wormwood and a secret blend of herbs that gives it a natural green hue without artificial coloring.
