October 8: Diarrhea Draught

This has to be the most poorly named cocktail in existence. Frankly, just going by the name, I’d never have ordered it. But it is a real cocktail from the early 1900s and is actually rather tasty although some would find the fruit flavors cloying.

The drink is designed to be served at room temperature but the brandies could be warmed for an aromatic hot drink on a cold dark night.

Taste profile: sweet with a touch of bitter

Ingredients:

• 1 part Blackberry Brandy.
• 1 part Peach Brandy.
• 2 dashes Jamaica Ginger extract.
• Nutmeg.

Combine the brandies and ginger extract in your glass; grate nutmeg on top (or sprinkle ground nutmeg if you don’t have the nut) and serve.
