Martin also shares the recipe for a holiday favorite served at Smuggler’s Cove.  

Hibiscus Rum Punch
This recipe is an adaptation of Sorrel Punch, a traditional holiday drink enjoyed throughout the Caribbean. This version was originally developed using a house-made hibiscus liqueur; you can make your own, or use Sorel, a recently released commercial version from Imbibe 75 alum Jackie Summers. 

1½ oz. aged Jamaican rum (such as Worthy Park)
1 oz. hibiscus liqueur (see note above)
½ oz. fresh lime juice
1/3 oz. demerara syrup (2:1)
2 oz. chilled soda water
Tools: shaker, strainer
Glass: Collins or highball
Garnish: edible hibiscus flower or lime wheel

Shake the first 4 ingredients with ice. Add the soda to the shaker, then strain into an ice-filled glass, and garnish.

Hibiscus Liqueur: In a large glass jar, combine 3 quarter-size discs of unpeeled fresh ginger, 10 whole cloves, and 1 liter of lightly aged rum. Cover the jar and let it sit at room temperature for 24 hours, then strain out the solids and add ¾ cup of dried hibiscus flowers, and let it sit covered for another 48 hours. Strain the flowers, then seal; the infusion will keep for up to 6 months. To make the liqueur, take 2½ cups of the hibiscus infusion, and add 1 cup of 2:1 simple syrup, and ½ cup of honey (warmed in the microwave or on the stovetop, so it’ll dissolve easier in the mixture). Stir thoroughly to blend, then keep refrigerated for up to several weeks.

In this episode, Saunders makes her first-ever appearance on a podcast, sharing details behind her role in restoring the Tom & Jerry to prominence as a holiday drink; other favorite holiday cocktails; and what life has in store for her following Pegu Club’s permanent closure in 2020.

Tom & Jerry

Go old-school with this recipe by beating the batter with a whisk or mixer—or take Audrey Saunders’ recommendations from this episode, and use a food processor to speed things up.

Batter
6 eggs, separated
1 pound sugar
1 ounce aged rum
3 Tbsp. vanilla extract
¾ tsp. ground cinnamon
¼ tsp. ground allspice
¼ tsp. ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp. ground cloves
2 dashes Angostura bitters

For each drink
6 oz. milk
1 oz. aged rum
1 oz. Cognac

Make the batter: In a bowl (or a food processor), beat the egg yolks until thin. While still beating, slowly add the sugar, rum, vanilla, spices, and bitters. Separately, beat the egg whites until stiff, and fold into the yolk mixture. Refrigerate the batter in a large container overnight.

To serve, heat the milk in a hot pot or a small saucepan until boiling. While the milk warms, pre-heat the serving cups, and use a whisk to recombine the batter. For each drink, add 2 oz. of batter, 1 oz. each of rum and cognac, then slowly top with boiling milk, whisking the drink until foamy and well-combined. Top with grated nutmeg.

Bald Mountain

1 oz. Varnelli Punch Fantasia

½ oz. rich cinnamon syrup 

¼ oz. Giffard Caribbean Pineapple Liqueur

Glass: 8 oz. mug or cup (Amor y Amargo uses the iconic New York City takeout coffee cup)

Garnish: orange twist, fresh-grated nutmeg

Combine all of the ingredients in a cup, and top with mulled hot water. Twist a piece of orange peel over the drink, and sprinkle with fresh-grated nutmeg.

Rich Cinnamon Syrup: In a saucepan, combine 2 cups of demerara sugar, 1 cup of water, and 4 cinnamon sticks, broken into pieces. Bring to a boil while whisking to dissolve sugar, then let simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently. Let cool, then strain and bottle for use; keeps refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
