One Summer’s Day
Ferrand 1840 Cognac, Empirical The Plum I suppose, Licor 43, Strawberry, Jasmine Milk Tea
This one was a fun one. Inspired by a galette I had in Montreal, this milk punch has notes of strawberry, marzipan, and jasmine tea. As you let the cocktail sit out on ice for a little longer, the jasmine notes start to shine through, making this a cocktail that evolves over time.
The Jasmine tea tincture was a design choice that we added at the end- s/o David for the suggestion. jasmine is perceived stronger as a smell than a taste, so we added a bit of jasmine along the glass to emphasize those scents
