Little Pecker (Tropical Gin Cocktail that packs a subtle zing)
Ladies don’t always appreciate Little Peckers…You may not think of Cuss Kitchen as true bird lovers- but we ARE!
So much so, we named two of our favorite cocktails after them… The ‘Swallow’ and the ‘Little Pecker’.
The Little Pecker is a fresh and delicious tropical cocktail that packs a subtle zing. Guajillo chili simple syrup is the secret ingredient that sets this cocktail apart. The gummy worm adds fun, while the Rosemary adds a beautiful and spicy fragrance.
Let’s be fair, as long as the Little Pecker packs the Zing – Size MAY NOT matter??? And don’t forget to eat the Worm!
When guests come to your house… Flip ’em the BIRD- the Little Pecker!
