It is on our list for guests who want something layered, green, and refreshingly exotic.
About This Cocktail
Moss Idol is one of Grappa’s most intricate signature creations, built on a house infusion of green tea in local Batch 206 vodka. Around that base it layers aloe, yuzu-scented curaçao, and coconut liqueur with fresh kiwi and pineapple, creating a drink that is at once tropical and earthy. The name nods to its verdant, green-toned character.
What’s In It
This shaken cocktail begins with green tea-infused Batch 206 vodka, made with a Seattle-distilled spirit, for a soft herbal base. Sibona aloe liqueur adds a fresh, vegetal note, dry curaçao yuzu edition brings bright citrus, and Kalani coconut liqueur lends creamy tropical depth. Fresh kiwi and pineapple round it out with juicy fruit. It is shaken and served cold.
Tasting Notes
The nose is green and tropical, with kiwi, pineapple, and a whisper of tea. The palate is layered and refreshing, balancing herbaceous aloe and green tea against juicy fruit, bright yuzu, and a soft coconut roundness. The finish is clean, fruity, and lightly herbal.
