This drink breaks from the country theme. I whipped up a riff on the classic Scorpion Cup. I really liked the pistachio orgeat paired with the cara cara oranges.
SERVES 2
For the drink:
-3 oz white or lightly aged rum (Diplomatico Planas)
-3/4 allspice dram (homemade or St Elisabeth)
-1/2 oz Espirit de June
-4 oz fresh cara cara orange juice
-1 oz fresh lime juice
-1 oz pistachio orgeat
Garnish:
Lime peel
Cocktail cherries
Glassware:
Martini
Combine all of the drink ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake for 10 seconds then pour through a Hawthorne and fine mesh strainer. Invert a squeezed lime to make a well for the flame. Pour a little of a high proof spirit and ignite with a match.
