I didn't have maple schrub, so I used a rhubarb shrub instead . The cognac is the star here, then apricot flavors come in and brings sweetness, and eventually a pleasant bitter finish. Very nice cocktail indeed for those who like Cognac.
A slightly herbal Daiquiri, refreshing with complexity. I used a Plantation Dark Rum (my favorite Black Rum), but lime juice overwhelms all ingredients. Next time I will reduce lime juice a little bit (20ml) or use an overproof old jamaican rum. Anyway, I recommend this cocktail and making your own adjustments.
Quite sweet and boozy, yet it is a well balanced drink and I liked it. I shaked with crush ice to have more dilution, added a dash of saline solution, and used Martin Miller Gin and Rhum agricole overproof. Great, but I will try next time with Jamaican overproof rum.
Refreshing, flavors are quite complex but it is still very easy to drink. I tried it with a home-made shrub orange and it was really good. If you like vermouth, you should try this recipe. Great for hot summer days!
