Captains' Mile
Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail coupe.
I was in the mood for a Daiquiri and I had recently replaced my empty bottle of Cardamaro. I then paired the Cardamaro with Swedish Punsch after recalling how well they worked together in the Mortimer Stump, Deck Hand, and Hearing Trumpet. For the rums, I went with a split of grassy rhum agricole and funky Jamaican rum, and for a name, I dubbed this one the Captains' Mile after a historic stretch of homes in Cape Cod.
- Harpo's Special — Light rum, Curaçao, Bitters, Lime juice, Simple syrup, Lime
- La Florida Cocktail — Blended rum, White Crème de Cacao, Sweet vermouth, Lime juice, Grenadine
- St. John's Santa Fe — Blanco tequila, Añejo tequila, Lime juice, Agave syrup, Cucumber, Cilantro, Green Tabasco
- Melba Cocktail — Light rum, Swedish Punsch, Absinthe, Lime juice, Grenadine
- Penicillina — Tequila, Mezcal, Lime juice, Agave syrup, Ginger
A bit too dry, maybe my punsch is too old and has lost some of its flavor but I only get the Smith and cross, a bit of cardamom and not much else. A S&C daiquiri beats this by 2 stars.
