Rumbold Reviver

If you were around for Scotch month back in February, you’ll know that I love smoky flavors with grapefruit. This drink takes its structure from the Corpse Reviver No. 2, but borrows the Diki-Diki’s unique combination of Calvados, punsch, and grapefruit. I named this one after Gilbert Rumbold, who illustrated The Savoy Cocktail Book.

INGREDIENTS

¾ oz. Calvados
¾ oz. peaty Scotch
¾ oz. Swedish punsch
¾ oz. grapefruit
¼ oz. rouge quinquina, to sink
Nutmeg, for garnish (optional)


ABV LEVEL

Combine the first four ingredients in a cocktail shaker. Add plenty of ice and shake vigorously for 15 seconds. Double strain into a single rocks glass and add a chunk of ice or a few small cubes. Using a spoon placed along the inside wall of the glass, sink the quinquina to the bottom. Garnish with freshly grated nutmeg if you wish.
