  • OK.Muddy, but I may have used too much nectarine in place of peaches. Perhaps a Islay scotch would help
  • Have made without PX too and a bit more honey syrup using syrup made with bitters botanicals and that was excellent too. Used Lowland whisky — ★★★★★

Tried Pama instead of cherry liqueur. Not a good idea....

Ticket to Paradise

1 oz Tequila, Milagro
1 oz Sloe gin, Plymouth
1 oz Swedish Punsch
1 bsp Lemon juice
2 ds Bitters, Fee Brothers Rhubarb
Instructions

Stir with ice and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a lemon twist.

I upped the lemon juice a bit to account for the sweetness of the Kronan punsch I used. This tastes a bit like cola.

Did it just say gin? Missed the typo, thanks!

I used Bitter Truth, not Plymouth btw and it was good.

History

I always wanted to create a cocktail for the very big cocktail nation of Israel (!?!?). I found a picture of the port of Haifa -- just a simple port picture with a lot of mist. I took ingredients from all over the world, because Haifa its a huge port and gets boats from all corners of the world. To add something look like mist, I smoked it with my own Buffalo Trace Sawdust!

  • Worthy of variation. Bitter Luxardo works.
  • Egg white?
  • Smoky bitter sweet pungent. No real subtlety, but a good drink for a sinter's eve.

Tried this drink at home, and then tried it again and added a egg white and some lime, it added some softness to it. Good idea!

  • Used walnut bitters instead of walnut liqueur and it worked great, Definitively will come back to this one

This rye/grapefruit/walnut combo is such a good idea. I used mostly grapefruit juice and just a little lemon since I had some to finish, and I wanted more walnut in there, so I ended up with .25 oz of Nux Alpina and decreased the honey syrup to .25 oz. I really like my version but I'll try it as written next time- thanks for sharing.
