  • 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.

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.

Mixin In Ansley commented on 9/04/2023:

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

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

History

Name taken from JFK's 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis speech. See "Ashes in Our Mouth" for my cocktail also named for this speech.

  • Not only is this way too strong but the black strap rum comes through too strong. Granted I also dislike black strap.
