History

One of my fellow bartenders at Drink made the Midnight Mass from Death & Co. for a guest, and I became curious about the combination of Cardamaro and Benedictine. After having a drink two nights prior with the Genever-Cardamaro duo, I decided to split the spirit with Batavia Arrack as I had done in the Dutch Hand after experiencing the two in recipes like the Double Dutch and Weirding Way. Also a nod to how the original was made with rum. For a name, I paid tribute to the Midnight Mass inspiration and dubbed it Midnight to Midnight after a Psychedelic Furs album.

Comments

Subtle but worthy improv on the brown drink. The malt of the Genever gives it a nice and new mouthfeel.
