Must Mix: This Cornflake Cocktail Will Make You Feel Like a Kid Again

“It’s called Original & Best Since 1906 because that’s the corn flakes slogan and because there are cornflakes in the cocktail,” says The Garret Nolita’s Beverage Director Grant Wheeler explains.

“The cocktail is essentially a corn-heavy riff on a traditional Brazilian cocktail called the Batida. We sub traditionally used condensed or coconut milk for Oat Milk which we soak in Kellogg’s cornflakes, and we split the traditional Cachaça base with bourbon, which is by law, at least 51% corn. The cocktail gains a bit of sweetness not-so-uncommon cereal additions banana and cacao, and gains some depth from familiar Batida spices of cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla syrup. The cocktail is garnished with a sprinkle Corn Flakes and dehydrated strawberries, just like the photo on the box.”
