A fruity Old Fashioned. They shook rather than stirred it in the 1930s, so "shake it to wake it."

Went with the original recipe - 60ml whiskey, 15ml passion fruit liqueur, 15ml calvados and "3 dashes" of banana liqueur, and I still found whiskey overpowering all other tastes

Не удачная интерпретация на мой взгляд получилась. Коктейль получился через чур сухой. Думаю оригинал был более сбалансирован и в данном случае можно добавить некоторое количество сиропа маракуи

The rye overpowers all the other flavors, I don't get any passion fruit or banana notes at all.
