  • Possibly the best use of orange flower water ever and my new favorite. I did one with spiced rum - like a spicy Caribbean creamsicle! Gonna try an absinthe rinse for some extra depth...

When I explained that the concept of the drink was to have something fresh, floral, and effervescent for spring, a guest suggested the name Snowmelt, which stuck.

The Last Mule

1 oz Vodka (Moskovskaya)
1 oz Swedish Punsch, Kronan
1 oz Ginger liqueur, Crème de Gingembre
1 oz Lime juice
2 ds Orange bitters, Regans' orange bitters
Instructions

Shaken with ice, double strained.

Notes

Probably a little too heavy on the Swedish Punsch. The orange bitters helps offset, but next round I think I'll be tapering off on the Kronan. I imagine an orange peel would also be useful, but didn't have any on hand tonight.

Zachary Pearson commented on 4/03/2015:

I know the "Smash" category is broad, but the general consensus is that there's some sort of fruit and some sort of herbal component, usually mint - that it's a Julep on a small plan (to quote Savoy). I think this is publishable, but can you come up with a different name so it doesn't cause problems with the search?  Thanks, Zachary

Curated to Cocchi Americano Rosa so that typo "Cocci americano rose" can be deleted.
