Who knew a cocktail made mostly with ingredients I never heard of could be so delicious? Will Foundation Social Eatery share the recipe for their Boom Goes the Dynamite?
— Chris Mercer, Atlanta
When Nick Hassiotis, co-owner and operating partner of Foundation Social Eatery, shared this recipe, he wrote, “This is a light, refreshing (low abv) herbal cocktail that is just on the edge of feeling ‘tiki.’ Boomsma Cloosterbitter is a great affordable, alternative to Green Chartreuse which is largely unavailable and very expensive. If you’re juicing your own pineapple juice, save a little (pineapple) to use as a garnish. If not, a slice of dehydrated pineapple is another option. If you want to lean even more towards tiki cocktail flavors, skip the pineapple garnish and float a little angostura bitters on top.”
You’ll find Boomsma Cloosterbitter at Green’s and Tower Beer, Wine & Spirits. John D. Taylor’s Velvet Falernum Liqueur is available at Little Five Points Package store.
