Raise a Glass to Pride Month with Hummingbird's Pink Panther Cocktail
As June ushers in Pride Month, Hummingbird in Raleigh is stepping up not just to celebrate love and inclusivity, but also to support the community. Their signature Pink Panther cocktail is a delightful mix of flavors and purpose, promising to be a hit among cocktail enthusiasts and allies alike.
Cheers to Community Support
The Pink Panther cocktail is crafted with ube-infused cachaça, a lively Brazilian spirit with a rich flavor profile. This refreshing concoction doesn’t just taste great; it also serves a larger purpose. Throughout June, 10% of every Pink Panther cocktail sold will be donated to the LGBT Center of Raleigh. This initiative helps bolster programs that advocate for, educate, and support LGBTQ+ individuals in the Triangle area.
Mixing It Up at Home
For those eager to try crafting this vibrant drink at home, Hummingbird's bar manager Hannah Perry has provided a simplified recipe. While the bar infuses and clarifies the drink over 48 hours for optimal color and texture, the home version yields a lovely orange hue, making it a perfect summer sipper. Here's how it goes:
Ingredients for Your Pink Panther Cocktail
- 1.5 oz of your favorite white rum

- 0.5 oz of John D. Taylor’s velvet falernum
