  • Very interesting and unique. Batavia Arrack not too dominant. Pimm's is a little lost though. Might up to 2oz next time
  • Next time decrease the honey syrup — ★★★★

Comments

Somewhat improvised with 1/2oz Plymouth Navy + 1/2oz red vermouth + 1/4oz shrubb standing in for the Pimm's, maple instead of honey, and lemon instead of orange. There's a black tea flavor coming through somehow. Very intriguing.

This drink made Russell House Tavern the top account for Batavia Arrack sales and had a long run on the menu until around 2016 or 2017.
