Mele Kalikimaka!

One final Xmas Tiki cocktail from master mixer Brian Maxwell. This would even put the Grinch in the Xmas spirit. Enjoy!

Mix #254 Festivus Miracle

1.5oz Demerara 151 rum
1oz cherry heering
3/4oz lime juice
1/2oz falernum
1/2oz vanilla syrup
5 dashes Angostura bitters
2 dashes absinthe

Fill a Collins glass halfway with crushed ice,add ingredients,and swizzle. Top with more ice,mint sprigs,and grated mace.

(Mace is a spice similar to nutmeg,but more spicey than sweet. I don’t have any,so I went without,and was still very happy with the drink.)

Sweet and funky with an absinthe finish,this’ll knock the reindeer off your roof with an ounce and a half of 151. Put a double out for Santa and yours will be the last house he stops at.

So I’m signing off until the New Year. In the meantime,here’s a Xmas message from Elvira. See ya in 2025 folks!
