  • 8/1/23: Made with Liber and Co classic gum syrup instead of cinnamon syrup. The recipe sounded too sweet as written but it was not. Drink was okay. Not as good as a Jägerita. Might be interested to try a Mai Tai riff with Fernet in place of rum.

  • Quite a fascinating drink. Branca Menta and Orange Flower water play well together, none overpowers. I am quite positive an Irish whiskey as a base would work just as well. 4.5*
  • Extremely good, honey + branca menta is amazing.

History

After coming across Ran Duan's Father's Advice, I became inspired to riff on it. Instead of a tropical angle, I took it in an apple-apricot direction akin the Saucy Sue and Tulip. For a name, the apple component reminded me of the art work of Rene Magritte, but since Matt Schrage had already used the name Son of Man, I went with the Listening Room.
