Jackpot Fizz
One sip and you'll feel like you just struck gold.
The Jackpot Fizz is an effervescent, gold-kissed celebration in a glass — bright, surprising, and almost too good to be true, just like winning the lottery. Layers of passion fruit and pineapple bring instant euphoria, while a hit of ginger gives that electric shock-of-disbelief tingle. The Champagne float on top is the ultimate prize: luxurious, bubbly, and completely over the top.
Ingredients
- 1.5 oz aged gold rum
- 0.75 oz passion fruit liqueur (e.g., Passoã)
- 1 oz fresh pineapple juice
- 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 oz honey-ginger syrup (equal parts honey and water, steeped with fresh ginger)
- 2 dashes Angostura bitters
- 2 oz chilled Champagne or Prosecco (to float)
- Edible gold luster dust (a pinch, to finish)
Instructions
- Make the honey-ginger syrup: Combine equal parts honey and hot water, add 4–5 slices of fresh ginger, steep for 10 minutes, strain, and chill.
- Combine the gold rum, passion fruit liqueur, pineapple juice, lemon juice, honey-ginger syrup, and Angostura bitters in a cocktail shaker.
- Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for 15 seconds until well-chilled and frothy.
- Double-strain into a chilled Champagne flute or highball glass over a large, clear ice cube.
- Slowly pour the chilled Champagne or Prosecco over the back of a bar spoon to create a luxurious, bubbly float on top.
- Pinch a tiny amount of edible gold luster dust over the surface of the drink and watch it shimmer.
- Garnish with edible gold leaf pressed lightly onto the rim, a dehydrated pineapple wheel, and a maraschino cherry on a gold cocktail pick.
- Serve immediately and toast to your impossible luck.
