inner child

2 oz Tequila (Arette)
3/4 oz Lime Juice
1/2 oz Passion Fruit Syrup
1/2 oz Orgeat

Shake with ice, strain into a double old fashioned glass with ice, and garnish with freshly grated nutmeg.
When I was at Daiquiris & Daisies and enjoying my Chili Southside, co-owner Joe Cammarata mentioned the Inner Child and attributed it to Attaboy. I was able to locate a recipe in a collection of Dutch Kills drinks that described it as an "Infante with passion fruit"; therefore, I used the serving style and garnish from the Infante as one was not provided there. Passion fruit and orgeat have paired well in Tiki classics like the Saturn, and I have utilized the duo in a rum-cachaça Mai Tai sort of build in the Manuia and in a Japanese Cocktail-Hurricane mashup called the Hariken. Here, the Inner Child began with a woody spice, tequila, and almond bouquet. Next, a creamy lime sip opened up into tequila, earthy, nutty, and passion fruit flavors on the swallow.
