This cocktail book. Sigh. This recipe had three ingredients, one of which was so esoteric I’ve never heard of it. So I improvised, and made something awesome. I get it, I get how esoteric ingredients help you really create bygone eras, but I’m not special -ordering something to find out if I like this.
So, my version included stuff I distilled from a thing I fermented from stuff I grew myself. It’s gin, lime, grenadine, and a smokey-sweet sort of rum punch liqueur. My version, with homemade topinambour instead, is not bad if I do say so myself. I don’t know how the book photo shows a yellow cocktail when it’s got grenadine in it, though, even though the grenadine the book recommends is a fantastically hard to find version made with pomegranate syrup. How can you possibly separate pomegranates from their pigment? I don’t know.
