Telegraph Hill
I’m not sure what I was browsing when I found the Drakensburger in the CocktailDB, a white rum sour with Van der Hum sourced from the Café Royal Cocktail Book. I liked the 1930s look of it. The Rose’s Lime Cordial would make it far too sweet, but it was clearly a Pegu Club relative. I thought right away of the new St. George Terroir Gin with all its evergreen funk as a more complex base for the aromatics of the tangerine liqueur. In place of the Van der Hum, I used Mandarine Napoléon.

You couldn't have picked a better place to show off your gorgeous cocktail than this jadite bowl. Is it a shell?
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked the Plymouth Duster. It's color palette is kin to the one you have today!
Many thanks. The bowl is generally circular. It belongs to my housemate. Part of the fun of sharing this space is that I can appreciate all the stuff he has collected. Part of the fun of this blog for him is to see all the stuff that turns up in the photos.
ReplyDeleteI was about to lunge at you asking how you got a hold of Van Der Hum. I had it at the outdoor Dawa Bar in Disney's Animal Kingdom. Absolutely incredible, but extremely hard to acquire.

I keep fantasizing that one day, I’ll walk into a liquor store and there it’ll be. Maybe I’ll have to go to Animal Kingdom for a taste.
ReplyDeleteThat drink looks awesome, all i wanna do is take a big gulp and don´t stop until it´s finished, then sit back and relax:-)
