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!
