Black Pearl (Niku Version)

0

Joseph Swifka's recipe, refined at Niku Steakhouse in 2023: rye whiskey, Pedro Ximénez sherry and Cruzan Blackstrap, stirred with blackstrap bitters and a lime peel. Dark and rich, with raisin sweetness against the rye's spice.

This version of the Black Pearl was developed by Joseph Swifka, formerly head bartender at Lani Kai. It is now the house cocktail at Niku Steakhouse in San Francisco.
