Two Mondays ago, Andrea and I ventured up to Woburn to pay homage at the Baldwin Bar at Sichuan Garden II. For a first drink, I asked bartender Tyler Benfield for the Jamaican Bobsled off of the menu. From the ingredients list, I knew that this was a different Jamaican Bobsled than the one created at Drink which took a more ginger and chocolate route. Instead, bartender Vannaluck Hongthong provided the back history that this one was created by Mick Kellogg as a spiced-up pineapple Daiquiri.
The Jamaican Bobsled shared a floral, cinnamon, and pineapple bouquet. The pineapple continued on into the sip where it was complemented by the lime, and the swallow offered up funky rum and allspice flavors with a growing cinnamon aspect on the finish.
