Time for another cocktail from Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails!
Ive been eyeing this one for a bit, thinking it would be a fun one to try, just for the historical kicks, if nothing else. I can just imaging all the New York party set heading out on their private boats for a bit of imbibing just beyond the 12-mile limit (originally set at 3-miles out, but extended to 12 partway thru Prohibition).
This turned out to be pretty tasty, and fairly uncomplicated to assemble (of course, it would need to be for those evading the authorities on the high seas!)
The Twelve Mile Limit
- 1 oz. white rum
- 1/2 oz. rye whisky
- 1/2 oz. brandy
- 1/2 oz. grenadine (I used my homemade hibiscus grenadine)
- 1/2 oz. lemon juice
Shake with ice, strain into a chilled cocktail glass, garnish with a lemon twist.
