Mr. Wednesday

A refreshing, nuanced take on a Mai Tai with aquavit as the star from Death & Co in NYC
The funky overproof Jamaican rum and deeply molasses forward Black Strap Rum are balanced by the star anise and caraway flavors in the aquavit. The banana and orgeat work with the runs to give the expected tropical accents one would expect from the Mai Tai
2 oz Aquavit (works best with the star anise forward Krogstad, may want to add a dash of absinthe if using a different aquavit)
.75 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
.25 oz Smith & Cross Overproof Jamaican Rum
.25 oz Black Strap Rum (Cruzan makes a good version)
.25 oz Banana Liqueur (Giffard)
.25 oz Orgeat
Shake with ice, strain into double rocks glass with a few ice cubes or crushed ice. Garnish with a sprig of mint
