  • Rittenhouse, Antica, Cherry Heering, & St Elizabeth is what I had on hand & I loved result. Slight nuttiness was nearly overwhelmed by the dram; will do the lightest of rinses next time. If you like this try Black Lodge too. — ★★★★★

elvisomar commented on 3/20/2022:

I made this using an apple and cardamom infused applejack and an 86-proof whiskey—it turned out delicious, but my specs threw the sweetness off. I added an extra half ounce of rye, and I love it.

History

On Holidays: I asked for a stirred drink. That's why i got.
I thougth it was quiet original to introduce juice in a stirred drink.

That was pretty good and well balanced for an improvised mixture.

Is it blanc or aged agricole? Will definitely have an impact on the finished drink.

The linked reference specs Clement Première Canne, a blanc.

yarm commented on 12/29/2024:

Influenced by the liqueur combination of Cure's Drink of Laughter & Forgetting. I created it in my head on the walk home from my bar shift on National Artichoke Day (yes, it's a real holiday).

Funky Kong

1 oz Barbados Rum, Plantation 5 Year
1⁄2 oz Jamaican rum (I used Doctor Bird's. The funkier the better.)
1⁄2 oz Islay Scotch, Laphroaig
3⁄4 oz Lime juice
3⁄4 oz Crème de Banane, Tempus Fugit
1⁄4 oz Fernet Vallet
1 t Falernum, Velvet Falernum
1 pn Salt
Instructions

Toss everything into a shaker with ice and shake thoroughly. Serve in a tall tiki glass over ice with a straw,

Notes

You can tweak the spirit ratios to your preferences. I tend to pour a little heavy on the Rums and a little light on the Scotch.

History

I noticed that all three of these spirits (Plantation 5-Year, Doctor Bird, Laphroaig) had interesting, unique banana flavors, so I wanted to come up with a cocktail that tied together and highlighted those delicious tropical qualities. After a few failed attempts, I got the cocktail's balance just right. The Funky Kong was born.
