About this Cocktail

The Glow Up is a refreshing highball, pairing the rich toffee notes and spicy complexity of Jameson Black Barrel whiskey with traditional Indian toddy — a coconut sap wine easily made through home fermentation. As a kid, I’ve always loved to entertain. Be it in person or on camera, I loved putting on a show for people without fear (#sinemetu). Like Jameson Black Barrel, I believe maturity is a result of environment, experience, and virtues. This cocktail represents my very own maturing process as an individual.
