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.

Awww. I was kinda thinking the China would be the reversed "spirit". Still, I'm oall over this, although Stagg is a bit dear. Maybe Booker's?

DrunkLab commented on 6/26/2014:

Booker's or Old Grand Dad 114 should do. By all means make a 2:1 China:whiskey drink and report back :-)
