lost generation

1 1/2 oz Bacardi Ocho Rum (Angostura 7 Year)
1/2 oz Laird's Bonded Apple Brandy
1/2 oz Kronan Swedish Punsch
3/4 oz Lemon Juice
1/4 oz Ginger Syrup
1/4 oz Honey Syrup

Shake with ice, strain into an old fashioned glass with a large ice cube, and garnish with candied ginger.
Two Tuesdays prior, I landed upon a set of online recipe flashcards for Bygone in Baltimore, and I was lured in by the Lost Generation on their Winter 2023 menu that I later spotted on a Yelp menu photo. At first glance, it appeared like a rum-apple brandy for Scotch Penicillin with Swedish punch in the mix. I remember that there was a mention of ginger on my Swedish punsch cheat sheet, and I cited the Haunted House as being a good example of how well the pairing works. With rum, Swedish punsch, and honey, this was similar to the D'yer Mak'er that I enjoyed a few weeks ago, and the trio is one that I utilized in the Reverend Wise back at Loyal Nine. Once mixed, the Lost Generation proffered caramel, honey, and ginger aromas. Next, lemon and honey notes on the sip opened up into rum, apple, ginger, and black tea flavors on the swallow.
