The best part of the Shipwreck Cocktail was that it gave me an opportunity to use my new Lewis Bag! I have to say, if you are going to make drinks with crushed ice, a Lewis Bag and wooden mallet are far superior to a kitchen towel or zip top bag and frying pan.
The cocktail itself was a little bitter (maybe my limes were past their prime?) and quite acidic. It just didn't have the balance I hoped for.
Shipwreck Cocktail
- 1 ounce bourbon (Old Forester)
- 1 ounce rum (Anejo 7)
- 3/4 ounce lime juice
- 1/2 ounce simple syrup
- 5 mint leaves
Shake ingredients with ice; serve over crushed ice; top glass with crushed ice; garnish with a sprig of mint and 4 dashes of Angostura bitters.
