1 3⁄4 oz Scotch
3⁄4 oz Drambuie
1⁄2 oz Herbal liqueur, Jeppson's Malort
1 twst Grapefruit peel (As garnish.)
Instructions

Stir with ice, strain into an old fashioned glass with a large ice cube, and garnish with a grapefruit twist.

Notes

The Drambuie softens the Malört rather well.

History

I became inspired by the night before's Amaro Rusty Nail, and I took the idea in Malört direction after recalling how well it worked with Drambuie in the Bukowski. The combination ended up a bit too bright, but a dash of Angostura not only gave depth but complementary spice notes to the mix. For a name, I dubbed this one the Anderson Punch, the Chicken Man of Chicago, who was born in 1870 and became a legendary street performer that trained chickens to dance to his accordion and harmonica music. Punch was performing until the age of 101 before passing away in 1974.
