I’m in need of something to make a carbonated bourbon cocktail. Thinking ginger beer, blackberry or raspberry jam, bitters and something... will this be it? Kool-Aid red and could very well be the sugar rich drink of child hood. Has more of a Hawaiian Punch nose with tropical fruit punch, cane sugar, orange zest. Goes down like a medium-thin bodied cough syrup: sweet up front and bitter down back. Cherry, allspice, clove, blood orange, walnut. The rating is tricky for me. It’s a bit unbalanced, or rather two-sided, but is interesting nonetheless. Despite the thin body it’s flavor has staying power. I wouldn’t drink it on its own though, hence the lower overall rating. That said, I don’t know of any liqueur that I would drink neat. This would probably beat out Beam White label and a handful of $25 bourbons. I think this just might work to ad some sweet citrus to a Kentucky mule +/- a bit of honey, jam and the aforementioned bitters (although this might replace bitters altogether). Time to mix with some Hubers of New Riff (I find that young craft bourbons make excellent mules). Cheers to spring!
