Le Professionnel

1 oz Marc de Muscat, 1 oz Boukha (eau de vie de figue), 1 oz Pimm’s Cup, jus d’une clémentine et jus d’un citron Meyer. Aromatique, frais, ravigotant. #cocktails #boukha #brandy#citrus

This is take two on a recipe I tried last year (see below). It needed a bit of work (the bitter part is what was missing, now provided by Pimm’s Cup), and I also didn’t have a name for it. It’s Andrew Volk, of Portland’s Hunt and Alpine Club, who suggested the name « Le Professionnel », adding that « only a professional » would think about mixing marc and boukha. Only a professional – or someone a bit crazy, maybe? Great, fun drink, anyway. Different and energizing.

OK, so this is really a bit out of the box, as far as my #cocktails go. Marc de muscat from Alsace and boukha (fig eau-de-vie) from Yonkers, muddled with half an orange and half a lime, spoonful of maple syrup, shaken vigorously. No name for it, still needs tweaking.
