Spice House Sling

Name: Spice House Sling
Ingredients: 4 parts gin; 3 parts Bénédictine; 2 parts Cherry Heering; 1 part pomegranate molasses; 1 part sugar; 7 parts pineapple-orange juice; 1 part fresh squeezed lime juice; 1 dash orange bitters

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!
