  • Rich, velvety and deep in character. Didn't have the pineapple syrup, so just used pineapple juice - figured it was sweet enough.
  • Opaque dark brick red color. Tasty, a little grainy, maybe due to my orgeat. Cinnamon and clove, complex. — ★★★★

Brilliant. Delicious. So many favorite things in one glass. I used Hampden 8YO and it worked great. The Orgeat and pineapple gum syrup added lots to the balance.

HallA commented on 11/11/2023:

Nice variation on a trinidad sour. The pineapple gum added a little though I don't think the drink would suffer that much about it. You're going to need something like S&C or high proof / lots of flavor to balance and even show up against the angostura.

Demerara Dry Float

2 1⁄2 oz Lime juice
1 t Lemon juice
1 1⁄2 oz Passion fruit syrup (see note)
1⁄4 oz Simple syrup

1⁄4 oz Demerara Rum, Lemon Hart 151 (as float)
Instructions

The best way to make passionfruit syrup is to take frozen passionfruit pulp, thaw it, and mix that with an equal amount of 1:1 simple syrup.

  • My spec: 1 oz Lemon Hart 151, 0.5 oz Smith & Cross, 0.25 oz other aged rum (Kirkland 12 year), 1 oz passionfruit syrup (Liber & Co), 1.25 oz lime juice, 0.25 oz velvet falernum, 0.25 oz Luxardo maraschino. Garnish: oil expressed from a lime peel. 4 stars

Zachary Pearson commented on 7/28/2013:

It almost seems to me that the 151 and regular Demerara rum amounts should be reversed. I'd use the best Demerara rum you can find, as it's got to stand up to a huge amount of lime juice.

DrunkLab commented on 7/28/2013:

Because this recipe wasn't strange and scary enough as is, I'm going to try it with the full ounce of 151.

1⁄2 oz Falernum
1⁄2 oz Egg white

Place an ice shard in a highball glass with at least 9-10 oz capacity. Add Michelada mix and lager. Add the other ingredients to a shaker, dry shake, add ice and shake again, and strain into the highball over the Michelada mixture.

  • I was looking for a way to temper an herbal American gin that I found overpowering. Per previous comment, used 1 oz gin, 1 oz Brennivin, 3/4 oz lemon juice, 1/2 oz rich (2:1) simple syrup. Balanced & tasty.
  • Cut back on the lemon (maybe half) and cut back a tad on the syrup. The two flavors of alcohol really complement each other and you can taste them both, distinctly and yet together, which I find fascinating.

  • Tried another night with Luxardo instead of Elderflower Liquor and also served over ice. Liked both. Would consider adding club soda for more of a spritzer on a hot day.
  • Easily drinkable
