Jet Pilot

At the turn of the Mid-Century the jet set lifestyle was all the rage.  Space was the obvious next horizon but for now, just enjoy the ride with a Jet Pilot!  It’s a riff on the famous “Zombie” so you might keep your seatbelt fastened and the tray in the upright and locked position!

Ingredients:

  • 1 oz Dark Jamaican Rum
  • 3/4 oz Overproof 151 Demerara Rum
  • 3/4 oz Gold Puerto Rican Rum
  • 1/2 oz Cinnamon Syrup
  • 1/2 oz Grapefruit Juice, White if available
  • 1/2 oz Fresh Lime Juice
  • 1/2 oz Velvet Falernum
  • 1 dash Angostura Bitters*
  • 1/8 Teaspoon (6 drops) Pernod*

Place the ingredients in a high speed blender or use a cup with a malt mixer … I use an immersion blender.  Add 12 oz of crushed ice.  Blend until smooth.

Pour into a Double Old Fashioned Glass.  Garnish with a maraschino cherry.

*  These two items combined is also called Herbstura.  It was a pre-mixed secret weapon of Donn the Beachcomber.
