Garnish:
Pineapple wedge
How to make:
SHAKE all ingredients with ice and fine strain into chilled glass.
1 fl oz | Light white rum (charcoal-filtered 1-4 years old) |
1 fl oz | Hayman's London Dry Gin |
1/2 fl oz | Luxardo Apricot Albicocca Liqueur |
1/2 fl oz | Pineapple juice (freshly extracted/pressed/squeezed) |
1/4 fl oz | Heering Cherry Liqueur |
2/3 fl oz | Chilled water (reduce if wet ice) |
Review:
Dilution is key to this cocktail so either shake with crushed ice (as per the original recipe) or do as I do and add chilled water. Even then, to quote Victor Bergeron, "This'll tuck you away neatly - and pick you up and throw you right to the floor".
History:
Adapted from a recipe in Victor Bergeron's 1972 Trader Vic's Bartender's Guide.
