naughty not nice

1 1/2 oz Rum (Doorly's 12 Year)
1/2 oz Mezcal (Peloton de la Muerte)
1/2 oz Giffard Crème de Banane (Tempus Fugit)
1/2 oz Pedro Ximenez Sherry (El Maestro Sierra)
3/4 oz Lime Juice

Shake with ice, strain into an old fashioned glass with ice, and garnish with mint.
Two Fridays ago, I found an interesting recipe called Naughty Not Nice for the Christmas 2024 menu at Bar Boutique in Ramsey, New Jersey, via online recipe flashcards. Despite it not being Winter time anymore, I was lured in for Pedro Ximenez and banana liqueur have worked amazingly well in the Elvis Ziggurat and Hero's Death, so I decided to give it a go. Once assembled, the Naughty Not Nice gave forth a mint, dried fruit, and caramel bouquet to the nose. Next a rich grape, caramel, and lime sip flowed into rum, smoky mezcal, raisin, and banana flavors on the swallow with lime and smoke elements on the finish. Overall, it drank slightly more like a straight spirits drink than a Daiquiri proper most likely due to the sherry.

I happened to have all the ingredients for this, so I tried it for a late night drink on the balcony (stirred not shaken). A lovely, rich combination of flavours - the sherry and mezcal combination came through most strongly - didn't get much lime though.
