lulu's eyelash

1/2 Gordon's Gin (1 1/2 oz Beefeater)
1/4 Jamaican Rum (3/4 oz Coruba)
1/8 Rose's Lime Cordial (1/2 oz Fresh Lime Juice)
1/8 Grenadine (1/2 oz)
1 dash Absinthe (12 drop St. George)

Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass.Two Mondays ago, I returned to my digital copy of the 1934 1700 Drinks From the Man Behind the Bar and landed upon the curiously named Lulu's Eyelash. Overall, the recipe seemed like lesser known classics like the Kingston, Small Dinger, and Daiquiri Special with some absinthe thrown in the mix, so I was intrigued. In the glass, Lulu's Eyelash proffered lime, caramel, and anise aromas. Next, caramel and berry notes on the sip led into gin, funky rum, and herbal flavors on the swallow with a tart berry finish.
