I have to write this down before I forget what I just drank.
3/4 oz brown sugar
spiced simple syrup1 3/4 oz Beleza Pura cachaça
1 1/2 oz Goslings Black Seal dark rum
3/4 oz Luxardo Amaretto (made with real almonds, not apricot pits)
1/2 oz orange liqueur
juice of 1/2 lime
2 oz pineapple juice
2 splashes orange blossom water
1 dash vanilla extract (I used my homemade -- Knob Creek bourbon + bourbon vanilla beans, aged 6 mos min.)
1 dash freshly juiced ginger
1 scant tsp powdered sugar
Shake like fuck with ice. Pour into a highball. Garnish with 2 maraschino cherries.
This is inspired by but not at all true to
Robert Hess' zombie. I really need to start keeping
Falernum (
2) and
Demerara rum in my pantry.
