The album I chose for National Vinyl Record Day was Rainbow Kitten Surprise - How to: Friend, Love, Freefall. I’d never heard of these guys, but of course, they had me at Kitten! I really enjoyed a bunch of tracks on this album, but chose the nomenclatural inspiration for my cocktail from the song Moody Orange.
Recipe
2 oz Cathead Honeysuckle Vodka (@drinkcathead)
.5 oz Amaro Nonino
.75 oz Farmer’s Jam Peach Basil Syrup (@farmersjamatl)
.5 oz Mandarin Orange Juice
Squeeze of Lemon
2-3 Slices of Sugar Rush Peach Pepper (or another hot pepper)
Sprig of Basil
Add pepper slices and sprig of basil to a cocktail shaker with squeeze of lemon. Muddle gentle. Add all other ingredients and a scoop of ice. Shake until chilled. Fine strain into a small, fancy glass over a couple pieces of cracked clear ice. Garnish with a fresh slice of juicy peach and another sprig of basil.
Enjoy while listening to some of your favorite albums!

On August 12, 2024, Farmers Jam partnered with Adam aka @soundtrackmydrink as well as Victrola Record Players and Cathead Distillery for National Vinyl Record Day. Creators from across the country made a signature cocktail as a pairing to their favorite song from a jam band. Entertaining and delicious. Cheers!
