MIXOLOGY

Fly high with Pilots Legacy Spirits

THE HUDSON

VODKA COCKTAIL

“Once you’ve had one, you can land anywhere.”

Inspired by Gregorio Robles and Scottie Mathieu for Captain Islava at the 19th hole of Palos Verdes Golf club. Known for their heavy four finger pours. It is minimalist , crisp, and dangerously smooth — The Hudson is the go-to cocktail for those who fly high but like their drinks low-key. Inspired by the cool confidence of a perfect landing, this cocktail blends premium vodka with just a whisper of cranberry, letting quality speak for itself. It’s clean, refined, and unexpectedly bold — like every good story that starts at cruising altitude.

Ingredients:

4oz of Pilot’s Legacy Vodka
Splash of cranberry juice (about 1/4 oz)
Optional: lime wedge for garnish

Instructions:

1. Fill a shakerwith ice.
2. Add vodka and just a splash of cranberry juice.
3. Shake gently until well chilled.
4. Strain into a chilled martini glass or serve over a large ice cube in a rocks glass.
5. Garnish with a lime wedge if desired—but never necessary

Flight Notes:

The Hudson is for the purist with taste. It’s a cocktail that doesn’t try too hard—it just is. Best enjoyed wheels up, or wherever your next destination may be.

MAUI ME MAI TAI

RUM COCKTAIL

“The drink was strong, The decision, stronger.”

Tropical, bold, and a little bit reckless—The Maui Me Mai Tai isn’t just a cocktail, it’s a story. It started on a balmy Maui afternoon when college buddies Rob and Brian ran into each other at the resort pool and got a little too acquainted with the famously potent Mai Tai. While they launched into what would become an unshakable friendship (and a next–day hangover), Rob’s girlfriend Diane was left to meet the family—solo.

Somehow, she still said yes.

Two years later, at the very same hotel, he finally got it right. Two partnerships had begun that night—one built on friendship, the other on forever.

Ingredients:

2oz Pilot’s Legacy Navy Rum
1/2oz orange curaçao
1/2oz macadamia nut orgeat syrup
1/2oz Orange Pineapple Jam 1/2oz fresh lime juice Instructions

1. Add all ingredients to a shaker with ice.
2. Shake until cold and slightly frothy.
3. Strain into a rocks glass over crushed ice.
4. Garnish with a pineapple wedge, ½ orange slice, lime wheel and a mint sprig.
5. Sip slowly—love (and friendship) can sneak up on you.

Flight Notes:

The Maui Me Mai Tai is everything a good story needs—sweetness, surprise, and a twist you didn’t see coming. It’s a tribute to friendships forged in paradise, and to knowing a keeper even when he makes you face the in–laws alone. Cheers to you Mike and Jill!

THE LAYOVER

RUM COCKTAIL

“Not all delays are a setback. Some are just a reason to pour another.”

Some journeys move fast. Others give you the gift of stillness. The Layover was made for those rare in–between moments—when time slows, the air feels warm, and you remember you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be. Built on a smooth base of Pilot’s Rum, with notes of pineapple and a whisper of vanilla, this cocktail is light, tropical, and effortlessly relaxing. It’s the kind of drink you order when the itinerary shifts—and you’re secretly glad it did.
