Two Saturdays ago, I selected Pioneers of Mixing at Elite Bars: 1903-1933 as the guide for my evening's libation. In the American whiskey section, I became curious about the Ramon which seemed like a Creole Cocktails with the addition of pineapple juice. Since Picon and pineapple go so well together such as in the Oriente, I was definitely curious to see the result.
The Ramon began with a whiskey and bitter herbal bouquet. Next, grape and malt on the sip led into rye and a pineapple-bitter orange combination on the swallow with a herbal finish.
