hunter thompson

1 oz Mezcal (Peloton de la Muerte)
1 oz Pineapple Rum (Plantation Stiggins)
1/2 oz Raspberry Syrup
1/2 oz Agave Syrup
2 dash Fee's Barrel-Aged Bitters

Shake with ice, strain into an old fashioned glass with ice, and garnish with a piece of candied pineapple on a pick (omit).
Two Mondays ago, I decided to delve into a set of online recipe flashcards from Lion's Share in San Diego. The recipe that I started with was the Hunter Thomspon that I dated to 2014 via Yelp menu and drink photos. My response when trying it was "like a messed up Knickerbocker!" Indeed, it began with smoke, raspberry, pineapple, and vegetal aromas. Next, lime and red berry notes on the sip led into smoky agave, tropical raspberry, and cinnamon flavors on the swallow.
