I always like to do a cocktail for releases of things I'm excited for. This is based on Greg from How to Drink's recipe, but with a few tweaks

1.5oz Wray and Nephew
1.5oz Plantation 5 Year
.75oz Blue curacao
.75oz Mint syrup
Juice of half a lemon
Club soda to top

Shake and strain, serve over crushed ice. Top with club soda, and more crushed ice. Garnish with a lemon twist.

I used the Wray and Nephew and the mint, because Romulan Ale is supposed to smell extremely strongly, and those ingredients definitely do. It's kind of like a funky Mojito. I like it a lot

Nice! I've never made mint syrup before. Do you steep mint leaves or blend them?

[–] Infynis@midwest.social 3 points 1 year ago

I steep them. I actually leave them in the bottle until the syrup is gone

Love mint in cocktails!

I tried "The Picard" from a local board game bar a couple years ago. It was really good, like a mule but earthy and sweet. They don't list measurements, but I looked up their menu and this is what they say is in it: Bourbon, Apricot Brandy, Earl Grey Tea, Fresh Blackberry, Rosemary Infused Maple Syrup

That sounds great! I'm surprised they went with bourbon though. Picard is the only non-American captain! Lol

This one looks fantastic. I should stock up on ingredients.
