NØLO Recipe: Tax Return
Dec 26, 2025
A decidedly bright spot at tax time (or any time). Featuring customer favorite The Pathfinder Hemp and Root, we love this cocktail for the brightness fresh orange juice delivers to the complexity of The Pathfinder, and how the gin finishes with a juniper-y bite.
The History
This recipe comes from our friends at The Pathfinder, who debuted at the bar 'Life on Mars' in the counter-cultural epicenter of Seattle, the Capitol Hill neighborhood, in 2021. It soon became a local darling and certainly no small affair between the bartenders and shopkeepers in the area, due to its unrivaled flavor and wondrous versatility in cocktails. Within no time, this miraculous elixir could be found at leading bars like Zig Zag, Rob Roy, Trick Dog, Death & Company, and Amor Y Amargo, and retail sales were fast outpacing production, leading the New York Post to declare ‘The Pathfinder has become the Pappy Van Winkle of the non-alcoholic drinks world,’ because of its scarcity and cult following.
Make It
Time to prepare: 5 minutes
- 1 oz The Pathfinder Hemp and Root
- 1 oz London Dry Gin (we use Monday non-alcoholic Gin)
- ¾ oz Freshly squeezed orange juice
- 2 dashes All The Bitter Aromatic Bitters
- Orange peel (Optional)
This cocktail may provide immediate relief from malaise, ennui, cold feet, and hot tempers, as with all cocktails made with The Pathfinder.
