Tweakin'

The official programming for Amaro Nonino week has ended but that doesn't mean I'm done!

The first drink I made, the Drifter, was completely underwhelming.  It was just...meh.  No character.  

The second drink was fantastic. Riff on a Paper Plane called a Broken Plane, subbing in St Germain for Aperol.  I liked it a lot and will 100% make this again.

The third drink?  Might need a bit of help.  This is the drink as written:


And, based on the ingredients, it should have been fantastic.  But it was wickedly out of balance, all I could really taste was lemon juice.  I'm going to re-spec it tonight and bring the Licor 43 up and the lemon down.  Watch this space.

I'm planning out for the next couple of months and I am stumped when it comes to uses for Pama.  I mean, it's great on it's own, or it can easily be used for Pomegranate Martinis, Margaritas, Daiquiris, Collinses, Sprtizi, etc.  But I am looking for creative. I'm thinking that pomegranate juice ticks a lot of the same boxes as tart cherry juice so I am going to see what kind of cherry cocktails I can come find.  At first I was thinking Cherry Heering, but that's a sweeter liqueur than Pama I think.
