AvernaPom

1 1⁄2 oz Pisco, Capel
1⁄2 oz Averna
1 oz Pomegranate juice
1⁄2 oz Coconut syrup (Big Tree Farms "Amber Coconut Nectar")
Instructions

Shake with ice and strain into a frozen cocktail glass.

Notes

Heavy on the pomegranate juice to keep just enough "sweet" on top of the Averna. The Coconut Nectar takes out the "bite."

History

1) It is pomegranate season in SoCal. 2) I just bought my first-ever bottle of Averna. 3) I'm a huge fan of pisco. 4) 'Tis the season to experiment.

Pretty good, though does benefit from a .25 oz of lime juice. I used coconut liqueur instead of the nectar cause that's what I had on hand

Dirty yellow-green color, taste is hard to describe beyond "sour". Gin botanicals covered up (using Tanqueray). If you like gin sours and want to taste something different, maybe make this drink with 2oz or 2 1/4oz of gin.
