Notes

The recipe published on Laird's website doesn't specify the Scotch brand, but patrons of Pegu Club report that a smoky Islay Single Malt (Laphroaig) was typically used in this cocktail.

yarm commented on 11/11/2024:

This has to be missing an ingredient like simple or Demerara syrup. Phil doesn't make unbalanced drinks like this. With 1/2 oz Benedictine, it'd be close to Schruff's End.

Shawn C commented on 11/12/2024:

It certainly looks off and isn't something I would make as written. I wonder if the original called for the Peychaud's dashed onto a sugar cube and muddled in more of a throwback style? The image on their page is probably too light for Demerara syrup--looks about the color I would expect from Laphroaig and Laird's bonded with some Peychaud's, but the sweetener might have already been inadvertently lost before then.

1⁄4 oz Falernum

Notes

"They say, 'Brandy, fetch another round.'
She serves them whiskey and wine."

History

I had the kind of dumb idea to make a tiki drink inspired by "Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)" by Looking Glass. I am not aware of another tiki drink that has red wine as the main ingredient, but it works surprisingly well. With its emphasis on red wine, citrus, and spice, the drink almost tastes like a tropical mulled wine.

  • Works well. Was out of OJ, used 1/4 triple sec instead. Makes me want to play around with the template, different spirits. Would lean more into the spice—maybe additional bitters, falernum, or 1/4 oz allspice dram, drop the Orgeat if needed to balance.
