Welcome to our first Nightcap, where we continue our conversations about poitin, unaged whiskey, and whatever else comes to mind. Nightcaps are going to be regular bonus episodes, where we follow up on trains of though that come up in our main discussion in an unstructured, casual bar chat format.
Cocktail Discussed:
Geansai Arann
1 1/2 oz. poitin
1/2 oz. crème de cassis
1/2 oz. Knight Gabriello Amaro di Toscana
1/3 oz. Celtic Honey
1/4 oz. fresh lemon juice
Inspired by Julia Momosé's Autumn's Jacket, as published in The Way of the Cocktail
Combine all the ingredients in a shaker, and shake over ice. Strain into a rocks glass over one or two large pieces of fresh ice. Take a sprig of rosemary and gently heat it by moving a lit match near the leaves, while not burning them. Garnish with this sprig, and serve.
