Finally, a drink worth posting.

Looks as ugly as a tiki drink, so no useful photo.

Bhumibol Memorial Saxojax

2 Rittenhouse Rye

2 Nigori sake (Momokawa). The Nigori “pearl” sake is important – it’s creamy in consistency.

1/4 Clement Creole Shrub (or maybe like half that of Grand Marnier but I haven’t tested that)

1 dropper CRUDE Tiki bitters

2 dashes Peychaud’s bitters

Absinthe wash (St. George).

Wash glass with absinthe, as if you were making a Sazerac.

Stir the rest of the ingredients over ice. Strain, up, lime twist.

Please help refresh my memory here: does “Pearl” mean anything much different from Nigori?

same same – the point is it’s the cloudy stuff. I personally like the fruitiness of US sakes (which probably makes me a sake peasant) so Momokawa works well here.
