Shake and strain into a cocktail glass.

Origin: Inspired by the Royal Pearl, I made a few modifications to create what for me is a more complete cocktail; amping up the gin and lime juice, taking down the pineapple, and adding absinthe and maraschino notes.

• 1 oz Gosling’s Black Seal rum
• 1 oz Appleton gold rum
• ½ oz falernum
• ¼ oz absinthe
• 1 tsp maraschino
• 1 oz pineapple juice
• 1 oz lime juice

Build in an ice-filled highball glass or tiki mug and swizzle. Garnish with a paper umbrella and serve with a swizzle stick.

• 1 oz Blue Coat gin
• ¾ oz green Chartreuse
• ¾ oz maraschino
• ¼ tsp absinthe
• 1 oz lime juice
• 1 oz egg white

Dry shake fiercely to emulsify the egg white. Add ice, shake again, and double-strain into a cocktail glass.

• 1 oz dry gin
• 1 oz sake
• ½ oz Mata Hari absinthe
• ½ oz maraschino
• ½ oz lime juice
• 1 drop Swedish bitters

Shake the first five ingredients and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with the drop of Swedish bitters.
