Notes

Assemble garnishes on a cocktail pick. I used house-made dram, but the commercial stuff, e.g., St. Elizabeth's, is just fine.

  • I had some leftover ginger from making anise-scented short ribs & built this recipe around it. Originally an aromatic cocktail, it needed some acid to balance the sweetness — hence the lemon juice.

Comments

Needs a bit of tweaking: start with reducing lemon juice to 0.5 oz, then Allspice Dram to 0.25 oz, if necessary.
