Creekside Crusher

The Creekside Crusher is a radiant, effervescent tribute to Southern charm and unique flavor. This stunning cocktail marries the crisp purity of VA Frost Vodka with the exotic, milky-citrus notes of guanabana and the delicate sweetness of honeysuckle cordial. Brightened by ginger and expertly carbonated for an exhilarating texture, its complex floral-tart profile makes it the ultimate refreshing beverage for sophisticated palates.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 oz VA Frost Vodka
  • 0.5 oz honeysuckle cordial
  • 2 oz guanabana (aka soursop) juice
  • 0.5 oz lemon juice
  • 0.5 ginger honey simple syrup*
  • 1 oz high quality soda water

how to prepare

Prep: Gather all liquid ingredients and ensure your dispensing glass is chilled and your high-quality soda water is ready to combine.

Mix: Carefully combine the measured vodka, honeysuckle cordial, guanabana juice, lemon juice, and ginger honey simple syrup directly into the ICO cream whipper, using the high-quality soda water to achieve the final volume.

Stir: Seal the whipper and then use one CO2 cartridge to fill the vessel, remove it, and then use a second CO2 cartridge to hold the final charge. Place the whipper in the fridge for at least thirty minutes or the freezer for twenty minutes to properly chill and carbonate the drink.

Serve: Once fully chilled, carefully and gently release the residual gas from the whipper while keeping it upright. Fill your serving glass completely with whole cubed ice and gently dispense the highly carbonated beverage into the glass.

Garnish: Complete the experience by adding a light sprinkling of dried honeysuckle flowers over the surface of the drink for an aromatic and elegant final touch.
