Two Test Pilot orange liqueur cocktails in a modern kitchen setting

This magnificently complex and multilayered drink will speak to cocktail lovers who adore a drink with a soft entry, followed by a big mouthful of flavour. The Test Pilot was first shaken up by an Air Force veteran turned Tiki legend, and indeed served as a test flight for later variations like the Astronaut, the Space Pilot, and, of course, the Jet Pilot.

QUICK TIPS

01

Squeeze those limes if you can – fresh zests best!

02

Falernum left over? Try a Zombie or Saturn cocktail.

03

A brandied cherry makes a lovely garnish.
