One Bottle One Drink – Doctor Cocktail

Well, I recently wondered which cocktail I should mix to celebrate me getting my PhD? Obviously, there really one was one choice – the Doctor Cocktail. Especially if you have some homemade Swedish Punch at hand.

 

 

 

There are a lot of different Doctor Cocktail variations out there. While I like the one published by Difford’s Guide which references David Embury’s “The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks” as the original source, I wanted to balance it a little bit better. Therefore, I used the half amount of Swedish Punch and added a bit of simple syrup.

The right choice of rum

There a lot of great choices for rum here. I think it should be from Jamaica and overproof. However, in this particular case I went for the Navy Style rum from Hunter Laing’s Kill Devil range. Its mix of Jamaica and Guyana rum seemed to be perfect.for adding complexity to the drink.

Doctor Cocktail:
View in: de en
4,5 cl Kill Devil Navy Style Rum
2,25 cl Homemade Swedish Punch
3 cl Lime Juice
0,75 cl Simple Syrup
Shake – strain – chilled Cocktail glass;
Garnish: Lemon Twist – Black Tea;
Song: Band of Horses – Casual Party;

 


The Doctor Cocktail starts with a great Rum Sour taste. Furthermore, you will find black tea in combination with some Arrak notes. On top of that, the Doctor Cocktail also reminded me of a more complex Daiquiri. The rum really works great here, the additional Guyana rum flavour really shines through.
