Tip Your Bartender is a social media initiative from PUNCH connecting our readers with bar teams across the country via Instagram. We’re asking select bartenders to share their drinks (albeit virtually) and encourage the PUNCH audience to “tip” during the economically uncertain times ahead.
Between March 30th and May 29th, for every dollar tipped to bar teams, the Bacardi family of brands has generously committed to matching it with an equal gift to our charitable partner, Restaurant Workers’ Community Foundation.
Send a tip to the Bad Hunter bar staff via Venmo by searching @Hunt-Alpine.

This drink plays off the highlighted barrel and toasted sugar notes in Bacardi 8, placing them at the fore and letting sherry and floral vermouth elevate those flavors instead of competing with them. It's an easy year-round drink that can be appreciated by the pros while also serving as a great introduction to rum cocktails.
2 ounces Bacardi 8
¾ ounce amontillado sherry
¾ ounce dry vermouth
2 dashes Angostura bitters
Garnish: orange twist
Add all of the ingredients to a mixing glass. Fill with ice and stir. Strain into a chilled coupe and garnish with an orange twist.
Order ingredients for this cocktail for delivery via Drizly.
