Mad Scientist Inspiration
AVIATION AMERICAN GIN USA $44.99 756510 Aviation is a softer, subtler take on London Dry-style gins. It is propelled by orange peel, lavender, sarsaparilla and earthy spice upfront, with understated notes of juniper in the background.
LICOR 43 LIQUEUR Spain $30.49 238303 An intriguing Spanish liqueur that offers a myriad of flavours, including vanilla, citrus, herbs, spices and a marshmallow sweetness through to the finish.
This milk punch recipe is inspired by the classic 1933 horror film, where Dr. Jack Griffin, a British scientist discovers the secret of invisibility, but after experimenting on himself, he goes mad and wreaks havoc on a British town. In this cocktail, the flavours are similar to a London Fog, but the milk solids are filtered out, making the cocktail in essence “invisible.”
