  • Try 2:1:1
  • I liked it better doubling the rye relative to the other ingredients. — ★★★
  • Sweet, tasty, accessible. Though quite sweet, the balance with Rittenhouse worked. — ★★★★

Although the closest I could come was St Cllement Rhum Agricole and Ozeki Dry, I thought this was a nice drink (I do have Senior Curaçao and Cocchi.) I also used Key limes, perhaps 1/2 oz would have sufficed.

As fruity as Ozeki is, I'm sure the use of an unflavored sake in place of what's essentially a sake-based yuzu liqueur changes the flavor of the drink quite a bit. Glad you enjoyed it regardless.

  • Navy strength gin holds up well to the other flavors. Averna in place of Suze
  • Lots of great flavor. The sherry's a bit strong, so maybe tone down just a bit. Didn't have lime bitters

1 rinse Absinthe
Instructions

This is a little triumph... the lemon juice balances wonderfully and is a great use for good homemade grenadine. Love it.
