Jet Pilot Instructions

The Jet Pilot cocktail is a delicious and potent tropical drink that is sure to transport you to a sunny beach with just one sip. It is a perfect blend of rum, citrus, and spice, making it a favorite among cocktail enthusiasts.

To make a Jet Pilot, you will need a few key ingredients such as rum, lime juice, grapefruit juice, cinnamon syrup, and Angostura bitters. The combination of these ingredients creates a unique flavor profile that is both refreshing and complex.

Start by adding 2 ounces of rum to a cocktail shaker. You can use any type of rum you prefer, but a dark or aged rum works best for this recipe. Next, add 1 ounce of lime juice and 1 ounce of grapefruit juice to the shaker. These citrus juices will brighten up the drink and balance out the sweetness.

Now it's time to add some depth of flavor to the cocktail. Measure out ¾ of an ounce of cinnamon syrup and add it to the shaker. This syrup adds a warm and spicy note to the drink, complementing the rum and citrus flavors perfectly. Finally, for a touch of bitterness and complexity, add a few dashes of Angostura bitters to the shaker.

Once all the ingredients are in the shaker, fill it with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. This will chill the drink and ensure that all the flavors are well combined. Strain the mixture into a glass filled with crushed ice. The crushed ice not only keeps the drink cold but also dilutes it slightly, making it more balanced and sippable.

Garnish your Jet Pilot cocktail with a sprig of mint and a lime wheel for a pop of color and fresh aroma. These small details make the drink visually appealing and enhance the overall drinking experience.

Sip slowly and savor the tropical flavors of the Jet Pilot cocktail. The combination of rum, citrus, and spice is sure to transport you to a sunny paradise, even if you're just sipping it in your own backyard.
