Raise a Glass for Pride Month
In a spirited celebration of Pride Month, Hummingbird in Raleigh presents not just a cocktail, but a cause—the Pink Panther. This delightful drink embodies the essence of summer with its vibrant blend of ube-infused cachaça and charred pineapple, offering an exotic escape for anyone lucky enough to sip it. With 10% of the proceeds from each Pink Panther sold during June going to the LGBT Center of Raleigh, patrons are invited to enjoy a refreshing beverage while supporting advocacy and community programs for LGBTQ+ individuals throughout the Triangle.
Mixing Joy at Home
Thanks to Hummingbird's bar manager, Hannah Perry, fans of the cocktail can create their own version at home. While the restaurant’s original concoction takes 48 hours to infuse, Perry provides a simplified recipe that ensures a delicious drink in less time and with a more orange-hued result. Here's how to whip up this colorful creation:
Pink Panther Cocktail Recipe
- 1.5 oz of a white rum of your choice
