Hey Harald

1 oz Aquavit, Aalborg
1 oz Amaro Nonino
1 oz Rum (Pick a rum you'd sip neat for dessert. I used Kirk & Sweeney 23 year.)
1⁄2 oz Ginger syrup
1 sli Orange (big thick slice, about 1cm, from a wide part of the orange)
3 oz Tonic water
Instructions

Everything into a shaker with big hunks of ice: give that hefty orange wedge the regal shake (-ish, you want the pulp in there too). Strain into a highball, pile some ice in there, top with a couple of ounces of tonic water, and then garnish with a nice pretty thin orange slice floating on the drink.

Notes

This feels like a total brunch drink.

  • The liqueurs soften the rather harsh spirits pretty well, though the Smith & Cross is dominant.
  • Based on another comment, I replaced the Smith and Cross with Appleton 12. I found that the drink was good, but I missed what S&C would have brought to the table.

elvisomar commented on 3/15/2024:

This is quite nice. I'm impressed with how well balanced it is, considering the unusual combination of ingredients. The banana (I used Tempus Fugit Creme de Banane) brings the rum into the party with great balance. The Gran Classico brings notes of wood and leather. (I didn't have Smith & Cross, so I split that component 2/3 Wray & Nephew overproof and 1/3 Plantation Xaymaca). I'll have this again, for sure.
