internet famous

1 1/2 oz White Rum (Privateer Tres Aromatique Overproof)
1/2 oz Pamplemousse Grapefruit Liqueur (St. Elder)
1/2 oz Brenevin (Linie Aquavit)
1/8 oz Maraschino (Luxardo)
2 dash Peychaud's Bitters
1 dash Saline (3 drop 1:4 Saline Solution)

Stir with ice, strain into a coupe, and garnish with a grapefruit twist.
Two Wednesdays ago, I returned to the online recipe flashcard set for Portland's Shift Drinks and spotted the Internet Famous. Its aquavit-Maraschino combination reminded me of how well it worked in recipes like the Bohemia and Argyle, so I was curious to give this one a go. Here, the Internet Famous proffered a grapefruit and cherry bouquet to the nose. Next, cherry notes on the sip uncovered rum, cherry, caraway, grapefruit peel, and anise flavors on the swallow.
