Found in the book the Four Hour Chef, by Timothy Ferriss, the cocktail is credited to Ian Scalzo from the cocktail bar Bourbon & Branch in San Francisco
A happy accident saw us reaching for smoked paprika only to notice, once the drink was made, that we'd actually laid our hands on turmeric. Really delicious. Bravo to the creator.
Made this cocktail tonight to use of the last dregs from a jar of Burlap & Barrel Paprikash Mustard. Used the 2 oz white rum to "rinse" the jar & omitted the paprika powder. Totally AMAZED by how delicious this turned out! Thanks for posting this cocktail recipe (found initially on The Humble Garnish blog post November 28, 2016 entitled "Exploring Nontraditional Cocktail Elements – Sage and Smoked Paprika").
