As I roll into the final 5 drinks, virtually every drink is going to be a classic, and it's hard to get more classic than the 151 Swizzle. I fell in love with this one over at Tiki-Ti in Silverlake, and the love has not faded. Garnished with cinnamon and Nutmeg, this one packs a whallop of strong flavor.
- 1/2 oz fresh lime juice
- 1/2 oz sugarcane syrup
- 1 1/2 oz Lemon Hart 151 (or El Dorado)
- Dash Angostura bitters
- 6 drops Pernod
- 8 oz crushed ice
- Freshly ground nutmeg
Garnish with a stick of cinnamon, and there you have it, the 151 swizzle. The visual presentation of it is pretty popular in itself, pictured below. In the background is my co-captain Mike McKee's Blood Orange Honi-Honi, and a lime, why not.
This beautiful baby wont stay full for long, This is what satisfaction looks like. The drinks are piling up (and so are the discarded taco plates from Tacos Durangos, the popular Taco hut out back), and the party is only halfway over. On to the next.
