Mulberry Firing Frenzy

This cocktail, named after the Mulberry Project's Jeremy Strawn, pays homage to the American and French alliance during the Revolutionary War. It combines Lairds Applejack Brandy and Rittenhouse Rye from historic American distilleries with a touch of Tawny 10yr Port and lemon juice, creating a rich and balanced flavor profile. The addition of pomegranate molasses adds a hint of sweetness and depth. This drink is finished with a hint of Absinthe, adding a subtle anise note, and is garnished with a fresh mint sprig.
