ABOUT THE COCKTAIL
This Black History Month, we asked incredible bartenders to create inspired Ten To One cocktails that embody the spirit of Black innovation and creativity. This cocktail incorporates several staples in Jamaican cuisine and is meant to fully engage the olfactory sense. The inspiration for this recipe is rooted in the very first time AJ encountered their heritage through food – a Jamaican Beef Patty, with Coco Bread, and finishing everything off with a Kola Champagne.
