For football season, we had a bartender from each NFL team's hometown provide the perfect cocktail to represent their team.

For the New England Patriots, “this cocktail is a little taste of humble pie, with the strength and resolve of some local navy-strength rum providing structure, a little taste of the unexpected from the Amaro di Angostura and egg white, just like the Pats playbook,” says bartender Vikram Hegde at Cambridge, Mass.’s Little Donkey. “Plus, there’s a little something festive and tropical in the Giffard Banane du Brésil liqueur (you know, because Gisele).”

Ingredients

Steps

  1. Add all of the ingredients to a shaker, and shake without ice until emulsified for about a slow 5 count.

  2. Add ice and shake vigorously for a slow 10 count or until the shaker frosts over.

  3. Fine-strain into a lowball glass without ice, and garnish with a few dots of Angostura bitters in the shape of the Patriots’ Flying Elvis logo (to the best of your artistic ability).
