The Rat King
The perfect sipping drink on a spring day, this variation on the Rat King shot will impress your friends.
3/4oz of each campari, cynar, Jaegermeister, malort, Fernet branca is stirred over ice. A bar spoon of Benedictine as a topper, plus an expressed orange peel as Garnish.
Wonderful notes of bitterness, vegetal, mint, cigarette smoke, and licorice compete for your attention. The orange oils meld with the mild spice of Benedictine to mellow it all out. The perfectly balanced drink. I’ll be making it as a freezer door cocktail ahead of my next party.
