Description

The Wishful Thinking is a modern tiki cocktail that was created by Julia McKinley at Three Dots & a Dash and Lost Lake in Chicago, Illinois. Unlike other tiki recipes, this relatively low-proof drink uses a base of tart sloe gin and pairs the liqueur with the unique flavors of rhum agricole, spicy ginger, lime, a hint of absinthe, aromatic bitters, and mint.
