Lion's Tail

Shaken · Footed rocks glass · Lime twist to garnish

Ingredients

  • 45mlBourbonEagle Rare recommended
  • 15mlAllspice DramSt. Elizabeth recommended
  • 22.5mlLime Juicefreshly squeezed
  • 7.5mlDemerara Syruprich, 2:1
  • 2 dashesAngostura

Method

  1. 1

    Add the bourbon, allspice dram, lime juice, demerara syrup and bitters to your shaking tin.

  2. 2

    Add ice and shake hard for 10-12 seconds. Give this one a proper hard shake, not a gentle one, it needs the dilution and aeration to tame the proof and the spice (shake it soft and it drinks too boozy and sharp).

  3. 3

    Double strain into a chilled coupe.

  4. 4

    Express a lime twist over the glass to release the oils, then drop it in.
