  • Very interesting and unique. Batavia Arrack not too dominant. Pimm's is a little lost though. Might up to 2oz next time
  • Next time decrease the honey syrup — ★★★★

Somewhat improvised with 1/2oz Plymouth Navy + 1/2oz red vermouth + 1/4oz shrubb standing in for the Pimm's, maple instead of honey, and lemon instead of orange. There's a black tea flavor coming through somehow. Very intriguing.

yarm commented on 7/24/2021:

This drink made Russell House Tavern the top account for Batavia Arrack sales and had a long run on the menu until around 2016 or 2017.

yarm commented on 2/22/2023:

This should be 3/4 oz lime juice and 1/2 oz Batavia Arrack.

Delicious vegetal note to a standard tiki profile. New flavor profile evokes another era.

flickerdart commented on 5/25/2021:

Tastes about how you'd expect - mouth-puckeringly tart berries with the menthol (but not the bitter) from the Fernet on the back of the tongue. Kicking the honey to 3/4oz or even 1oz might be necessary.

Fruits of Victory

1 oz Navy strength rum, Smith & Cross
1 oz Virgin Islands Rum, Cruzan Blackstrap
1⁄2 oz Cynar
1⁄2 oz Raspberry liqueur (Merlet Creme de Framboise)
2 ds Molasses Bitters, Fee Brothers
Instructions

Stir, strain. No garnish. Serve up or with large cube/sphere.

Notes

Bitter, charred molasses flavors with hint of red fruit

  • Appropriately named; quite spicy and smoky. Absolutely delicious
  • Enjoyed the ancho - mezcal combo. They're the main players but the amaro (I used sfumato) and vermouth work well as glue.
