The Test Pilot is another drink I had to wait for the Hut to have the right ingredients for, and for the 2nd drink of my 30th birthday, I got lucky. That is, until I tasted it. At no fault of the Hut, this drink just isn't my flavor. Reminiscent of the Beachcombers Gold, anytime you have a combination of pernod and bitters, you're gonna have something pretty sour. Combine that with two kinds of dark-ish rum, and you get a drink that is not only tough to taste, but tough to handle.
- 1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
- 1/2 ounce Falernum
- 3 teaspoons Cointreau
- dash Angostura bitters
- 1/8 teaspoon Pernod
- 3/4 ounce light Puerto Rican rum
- 1 1/2 ounces dark Jamaican rum
I don't imagine I'll be taking the Test Pilot for another spin any time soon, but I'm glad to have it finished. On to the next.
