POUR Kitchen & Bar's The GOAT

Bottoms Up

By Anna Faller | Jan. 4, 2025

We’re all about starting the new year off with a punch—especially if it comes in sippable form! Enter POUR Kitchen & Bar’s fan-favorite cocktail, The GOAT ($15). A variation on a classic milk punch, this bevvy blends Don Fulano Blanco tequila with Eastern Kille Distillery’s Génépy L’Epicéa liqueur (that’s a Michigan-made riff on Green Chartreuse with 25 ingredients!), fresh-squeezed grapefruit and lime juices, and a homemade pineapple gomme, which adds viscosity and a touch of sweetness. From there—and this is where it really gets fun—the drink is clarified with a goat’s milk wash. The result, which is crystalline and served over a giant cube with star anise, is balanced, herbaceous, a little fruity, and, well, totally great! Get your GOAT (and a whole lot more!) at POUR Kitchen & Bar in Petoskey at 422 E. Mitchell St., Unit 5. pourpetoskey.com
