  • Sweet and rough - like an old fashioned. The syrup tends to dominate. I used rhubarb bitters and angostura. It's okay, but I prefer a real Old Fashioned.

Curated this - added the apple and cinnamon from the instructions. How much apple is appropriate here?

Thanks,

Zachary

Just a thin slice about a 1/4" thick should do it and come through.

Velvet Daiquiri

2 oz Dark rum, Seales 10 yr.
1⁄2 oz Falernum, Velvet Falernum
1⁄4 oz Ginger liqueur, Domaine de Canton
3⁄4 oz Lime juice
Instructions

Shake with ice, serve up. No garnish.

Notes

I "invented" this and enjoyed it enough to add it to KC. Subsequently found the Kon-tini, but I think my proportions and the use of only dark rum make a much better drink.

Curated this slightly - moved instructions for the cider reduction to the notes section. I'm guessing that the 1 ounce of cider is post-reduction?

Thanks,

Zachary

BoulderandPebbles commented on 11/30/2013:

Thanks - yes, I wanted the ingredient to be "spiced and reduced apple cider" but didn't think that merited adding a new ingredient - hopefully folks will read the notes before they start mixing as it requires hours to reduce and cool the cider. I am thinking of trying it with cider syrup and spicing the demerara in a future iteration.

  • maybe ease off the cassis a little — ★★★★★
  • Dark, full, tart berry brightened by ginger and mint, complemented by vanilla and molasses, given a long, bitter sloe-ish finish by Campari.
