This one's been a long time coming. After over a year's delay (thanks, COVID), synth pop multi-hyphenate and Trailing Twelve label owner NYIKO finally arrives in the Zoom studio to talk all about his debut album Honesty and toast a gorgeous Bleeding on You cocktail that Pedro graciously mailed to him (regretfully failing to send one to Anthony as well). Buckle up, folks. This could very well be the last remote episode of the pandemic era. Siri, queue up "Here Comes the Sun". Cheers!

Listen to Honesty by NYIKO

A Bleeding on You


2oz Gin

2oz Passionfruit and Guava Puree

3 dashes of Angostura Bitters

1/4 Lime Squeezed

Fresh Thyme

Butterfly Pea Flower Tea (chilled)

Garnish with Thyme and Dried Hibiscus Petals

(Optional) Egg White


Add fresh thyme leaves, bitters, and squeezed lime quarter to a shaker. Muddle them together. Add a couple of ice cubes, gin, and puree blend (also add egg white if desired). Shake very well. Strain into tumbler filled 2/3 of the way with ice. Once poured, add more ice. Gently pour chilled pea flower tea over the ice using the back of a bar spoon. Garnish and enjoy!
