  • Made with Tattersall aquavit and a grapefruit twist. Sweet and savory taste, a bit odd. Long, interesting, and appealing finish.

Clemen-thyme Sour

1 1⁄2 oz Bourbon, Bulleit
1 T Citrus fruit (Clementine purée)
1 t Sugar
1 t Thyme (as garnish)
Instructions

Dry shake, shake hard with ice, fine strain into iced 2x rocks glass. Thyme sprig for garnish.

Notes

I used a high-quality French clementine purée. To make your own, zest 5 clementines, peel them and add their fruit to a blender. Pour in sugar to taste and a little water and blend briefly to achieve a thick puree. Refrigerate for up to 1 week.

  • Refreshing. Maybe try a more spirit forward version next time with 2 oz rye and 1/2 oz falernum/lime
  • As summer draws to a close, this extraordinarily well balanced drink gives great reason to look forward to the next season of the sun. Well done! — ★★★★★

Todd Birkel commented on 8/15/2022:

I happen to have the syrup for the ‘Cubed Old Fashioned’ on hand, which married perfectly with this drink. I used lemon juice instead of lime juice, because it is generally what I prefer. A truly successful whiskey-tiki libation.


drjones commented on 2/25/2023:

One of the most balanced cocktails with Fernet that I've had. I'll reduce the Falernum & Lime to .5oz each next time, as suggested, sine I like boozier Tiki cocktails.
