A new original that uses my curry-leaf syrup:

Curried Away

  • 1 1/4 oz Rittenhouse
  • 1/2 oz Batavia Arrack
  • 3/4 oz Lime juice
  • 1/4 oz Ginger liqueur
  • 1/2 oz curry-leaf syrup
  • 1 dash Bar Keep Chinese Bitters

Shake; strain; up.

I get an unexpected mint (or mint-chewing-gum) flavor on the finish, which made me realize in retrospect that a mint leaf (or curry leaf) would be an appropriate garnish.

This started with the weird idea that the Asian funkiness of Batavia Arrack and the peanuty flavor of Rittenhouse could be a workable odd couple. From there I was thinking of Asian cuisine flavors, which quickly led me to the other ingredients. Proportions were estimated with a daiquiri model in mind, and I was more than pleased that my first go at measurements nailed it.
