  • Prefer with 1/4 oz 2:1 demerara syrup and another dash or two of bitters. But a nice variation on the classic.

benjajinj commented on 1/25/2020:

Much better with 5ml rich demerara syrup, 3 dashes Peychaud's and 1 dash Ango, absinthe rinse and a discarded twist - i.e. a classics Sazerac spec with the base swapped out.

Instructions

Stir, strain, rock, spritz.

Notes

Adrienne, fed up with coming up with drink names, has decided to simply name each drink after the person she's made it for, and told me that this drink is called the Rafa. I don't think that's a suitable name for a drink, especially one this delicious.

  • Not really fair to rate this as I didn't have Aquavit. I used 50% Pernod 50% gin instead. Also didn't add spritz. My version wasn't bad though.

  • This is excellent - just the right amount of smoke and peat. I used quarter cask Laphroaig and Macallan 10 year. The Macallan gives nice fruit and richness.
