Light Boxes
1.5 oz 10 Cane Rum
1 oz Applejack
0.5 oz Domaine de Canton
0.25 oz Lemon Juice
5 drops Lemon Clove Tincture
Shake ingredients well and serve up with a twist of lemon.
NOTES: A good start, but definitely not there yet. It smelled great, and it had a lot of the elements of a good drink, but in the end it was just sort of a palatable, forgettable drink. It went down smooth, didn’t have much of a burn (but a pretty solid boozy kick, in a good way), but the flavors just weren’t where they should have been. Could be better subbing gin for rum. Maybe up the Canton and Tincture and reduce or drop the Applejack? It needed one of the flavors to step up and be the hero. Promising, though. Worth tinkering with.
