Be sure to mix one up the next time the sun comes out. Ideal for lazy beach days and backyard barbeques, the Surfer on Acid is an underrated summer gem that deserves more attention. It gives the drink a bright, natural sweetness and boosts the tart acidity of the lime juice. If possible, use freshly pressed pineapple juice instead of the canned option.
The Jäger at the base adds a boozy bite and notes of sarsaparilla, black pepper, cola and a dark bitter edge, which brings balance to the acidity and sweetness of the pineapple juice (as odd as it sounds, Jäger and pineapple are a match made in heaven). Tiki-esque in flavor, this cocktail manages to be bitter, herbaceous and tropical all at once. The Surfer on Acid is a popular Californian modern classic cocktail created by Eric Tecosky in the 1990s, It is also commonly served as a shot. From there, the Surfer on Acid took on a life of its own and eventually became a modern classic.įor our take on the California staple, we made the drink long and tall by adding a touch of fresh lime juice and a topper of seltzer so that it can be sipped rather than shot. He scrapped the original recipe and applied the name to a J ägermeister-based shot he was working on at the time.
Tecosky had never heard of the cocktail and, when he asked the group was was in the drink, he decided that the only thing worth saving was its name. It all happened one night when a gaggle of blissed out 20-somethings ordered a round of Surfer on Acids (Surfers on Acid?) at his bar. But in the early ‘90s, Los Angeles bartender Eric Tecosky did away with that sickly sweet shot and made something great. Originally, the Surfer On Acid was a hodgepodge of liqueurs (think Baileys, banana schnapps and coconut schnapps).
