"This drink is important because it involves an organic spirit with a wonderful unused spice, Berbere. Berbere has a lot of amazing flavors and mix that with my two favorite citrus', Meyer lemon and Kumquats. I especially like the Meiwa because they are so sweet and juicy and plump!"
"This cocktail uses Slow Food’s Ark of Taste Apples that help support a very important cause that and food movement that I believe in and it (the cocktail) screams autumn.”
"Chartreuse is one on of my all time favorite ingredients and like a recipe that uses it as a base ingredient. This drink is also really cool since it is a stirred cocktail that is also in a highball and it's bright, herbal, and refreshing."
"This drink also now functions as something of a mission statement and a measuring stick for me. How can we constantly look to refine what [a cocktail] is and how we approach the idea of seasonality?"
Very simple to make for the home bartender and a bit unexpected. Malort definitely has a reputation- I like the way it finds the good in this very “rough around the edges” spirit. Not unlike Bukowski himself.
Its a fantastic blend of fresh ingredients and flavor.
