Spice House Sling
A kind gentleman representing the fine spiced liqueur, Bénédictine, stopped by our Old Town shop one day. He was looking to procure a wide variety of herbs and spices, each representing prime flavor notes in Bénédictine's closely guarded secret recipe. Using these spices, he would create an aroma kit, like those used by wine tasters, to demonstrate his liqueur's depth to costumers. He gifted us a bottle of Bénédictine and this drink was soon crafted after!
Preparation Instructions:
To mix, stir pomegranate molasses and sugar at the bottom of a cocktail shaker until well combined. Stir in lime juice and add ice to fill the shaker.
Add gin, Bénédictine, Cherry Heering, and pineapple-orange juice. Shake vigorously for one minute. Add a dash of bitters and gently shake a few times to roughly combine.
Strain into tall glasses with lime wedge to garnish. Cut with club soda to serve a crowd.
