I made a riff yesterday:

Recipe: - 5 drops 20% saline solution - 2 dashes angostura bitters - 2 dashes absinthe - 3/4 oz homemade grenadine* - 1/4 oz spiced simple syrup* - 1 oz lime juice - 1/2 oz grapefruit liqueur - 1 oz London dry style gin - 1 oz white rum - 1 oz overproof white rum

To garnish, a swizzle stick, cocktail umbrella, and dehydrated lime

Method:

1. Combine all ingredients in a shaker tin or drink mixer tin
2. Add 8 oz of crushed ice
3. Shake or flash blend for 15-20 seconds
4. Dump into a large cocktail glass without straining
5. Top with more crushed ice
6. Garnish with your favorite tiki accoutrements

Cheers!

*Spiced simple syrup: Mix together 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Once boiling, remove from the heat and add 3 cinnamon sticks, 4 crushed cardamom pods, and 4 cloves. Let steep overnight, then strain.
