Recipe

  • 1 oz old overholt bottled in bond

  • 0.75 oz coconut rum*

  • 0.5 oz pineapple juice

  • 0.5 oz lemon

  • 0.25 oz hamilton pimento dram

  • 0.25 oz 2:1 sugar syrup

  • 1 tsp fig leaf extract**

*Coconut Rum

  • 200 g unsweetened coconut flake
  • 1 liter white rum
  • Toast coconut flake in a 350 oven
  • Add to rum while still hot and cook sous vide at 140F for two hours.
  • Strain while still warm (do not ice bath as yield will be higher)
  • Freeze overnight to "fat wash". Strain through a large conical strainer with a filter.

**Fig Leaf Extract

  • Roughly chop fig leaves. Toast in a 350 degree oven for one minute (yes, one minute. Set a timer)
  • Weigh fig leaves and add 500% golden grain (ex. 100g fig leaves, 500g golden grain)
  • Cook Sous Vide at 140 degrees F for 2 hours. Ice bath and strain immediately through a filter (wear gloves). Squeeze to get full yield.
  • Fig leaves have a really coconut/cinnamon thing going on when briefly toasted like this.
  • If anyone actually makes this extract, you will strain it and think, this doesn't smell like anything but booze. The aromatics are trapped in the ethanol. pour some in a glass, add water and watch it turn bright green and then smell it. Pretty damn cool.
