After posting, I realized this looks like Schmidt's takeoff from his own Easy Street (with the addition of egg white being the main difference).

This was such a fun brunch drink to offer with a horrible pour cost. Yes, towards the end when it was leaving the menu in a few weeks, we muddled Cocoa Puffs to order.

Awesome summer drink, thanks for posting. My armagnac is marie duffau, and I used a mirabelle plum brandy. Next time I'll try my clear creek slivovitz- it's heavier and funkier and I think it would work well too. Worth the hassle of having to unclog plum pulp from the strainer a couple times.

  • Bracingly tart in a way that earns the name. A nice fruity and spicy alternative to the more common herbal equal-4-parts Last Word-esque cocktails. (4.5)
  • Used lime juice. With lime, could reduce the amount to, say, 1/2 oz, to let the drambuie shine. However the tarntness was delicious, making a slightly herbal whiskey sour.
  • Sour lemon zest flavor dominates. Pleasing complexity underneath. — ★★★★

  • The tiny does of my cheap blue curacao cheapened the color but not really the flavor of this. Even still, this "improved" Aviation isn't necessarily an improvement. — ★★★
