I do love Bergamot Liqueur and find it an interesting swap for Cointreau when you want the Orange but with more herby and bitter notes.
This is exactly what this drink provides. Provided that mouth cleansing bite for a first drink.
a taste test with my son and myself - but tastes are personal.
I went with the recipe if not the ingredients:
Kyro Finnish Rye
Antica Formula Carpano
Jade 1901 Absinthe
Peychards
A good stir and perfect,
I do love a good Mai Tai so this intrigued me.
Used a Kryo Finnish Rye Whisky (this is an excellent and personally superior alternative to American Rye's).
I was surprised how long it took for the rye to kick in - a really balanced and smooth drink.
A really good whisky alternative to a Mai Tai.
I could have sworn I had a bottle of Drambuie but evidently not.
So A bottle of Grand Marnier and a teaspoon of honey had to substitute.
Definitely going to have to add a bottle of Drambuie and retry this .
