  • The rum goes a long way--can be a little sweet if you aren't careful
  • Really complex and rich. The sherry holds the center, and the rest is revealed in layers through each sip.

Dark brown, cola colored with a slight amber hint. Nose is a rich, sweet mix of the nutty sherry and rum with hints of clove, sweet dark fruit, and allspice. Sip is light and sweet up front, perhaps from the Benedictine, and that sweetness continues onto the midpalate with the sweet dark fruit notes of the Punt e Mes combining the rum, whose flavor emerges nicely, and briefly dominates. Towards the back of the tongue, the combination of sweet nutty and lightly acidic flavors from the sherry come forward and the back of the tongue, and especially the swallow, sees the bitter herbal notes of the Punt e Mes. Often, Punt e Mes can be a bit over-bitter but in this case it is light, and just enough to provide a fantastic foil to the sweetness on the initial sip. The finish sees a slight dryness on the tongue and the sherry dominating. All in all this is a fantastic, complex, and wholly original drink, presenting flavors that most drinkers are not used to experiencing in a a sophisticated and intriguing package. Furthermore, it is a drink that evolves as it warms, becoming more rum and sherry dominant with the bitterness decreasing slightly.


Used Ron Zacapa 23 and delicious. Any other old monk substitution suggestions?


HallA commented on 4/24/2023:

Very nice, rum and sherry combo gives a lot of richness with the bitter notes for the vermouth and the herbals as well as a late hit of chocolate from the bitters. Wonderful.

Waltz #2

3⁄4 oz Pisco
3⁄4 oz Apricot eau-de-vie, Blume Marillen (or gewurztraminer)
3⁄4 oz Lime juice
3⁄4 oz Elderflower syrup
Instructions

Shake, strain, up. Optionally, garnish with a fancy lime twist.

Notes

The Gewurz and dry apricot brandy obviously make different drinks, but both complement the other flavors and work at these ratios. The Gewurztraminer version is Waltz #1, the apricot is Waltz #2.

Very nice. I made this with Blume Marillen apricot eau de vie and St-Germain instead of elderflower syrup and it came out quite well. It's bracingly tart but not overpowering; like a really fresh limeade that tingles the tongue and keeps urging that next sip. The more ethereal apricot and brandy elements linger delicately on the palate while the elderflower and lime do most of the heavy lifting. It's a nice combination of flavors, something well suited to summer. Garnished with a fancy lime twist because why the hell not.


Thanks Eric. I imagine it's tarter with St. Germain than with elderflower syrup, and some might like a barspoon of simple added.
