Ok, hifallutin’ way of saying “sun of the south”. Got an urge to be fancy in the pants. I’m not responsible for whatever urges you get after one of these. #highoctane
Le Soleil du Sud
1.75 oz Bulleit bourbon
1.75 oz Calvados
.5 oz amaretto
.5 oz Becherovka
Stir it all up in a mixing glass with ice. Strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish it with a nice star anise. If you believe, as I do, that the only way this could be better would be to set it on fire, pour a little Stroh 80 on the anise and ignite it. Set a bad example for your kids in multiple ways.
My only regret is that the fire was pathetically miniscule. Perhaps next time we can find something that’s more than 80% pure alcohol to torch.
