Gran Canaria

Created in collaboration with Dos Maderas, Gran Canaria is a bold and layered riff on the Jungle Bird that blends Caribbean fruit with Spanish influence. The base spirit — Dos Maderas 5+3 — is aged in both the Caribbean and Sherry casks, adding depth and sweetness to the tropical build.

Yellow Chartreuse stands in for Campari, while falernum and banana liqueur lean into the tiki vibe. Ancho Reyes and Angostura bitters add subtle heat and spice, giving this drink a unique, well-rounded edge that finishes with warmth and complexity.
