027 - St. Agnes, the Lion and the Lamb cocktail, and Allspice Dram Liqueur

Jan 19

Mike and Alexandra discuss a cocktail that was not in the Drinking with the Saints book for St. Agnes, but perhaps would have been. It involves a unique ingredient that not even they have tried before.

They also talk about the life of St. Agnes and then take a look at some fascinating traditions that happen in Rome each year around the feast of St. Agnes.

The Lion and the Lamb Cocktail

1½ oz. bourbon

1½ tsp. allspice dram*

2 dashes bitters

½ oz. lime juice

½ oz. orgeat syrup

1 cherry for garnish

1 lime wedge for garnish

Pour all liquid ingredients into a shaker filled with ice and shake forty times. Strain into an old-fashioned glass with ice and garnish with lime juice wedge and cherry.

*Substitute 1 ½ tsp. of dark rum and ½ tsp. of combined ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove
