365 Drinks a Year: #38 The Dream
This one's for you T, wherever you may be.
One reason and one reason only that I made this cocktail tonight. I finally picked up a bottle of Anisette and I wanted to see what kind of cocktail magic I could make with it. If you've never heard of Anisette then don't feel bad; it's not your average mixer. It smells and tastes exactly like one of those black licorice jelly beans that 50% of the world loves and 50% hates. Anisette isn't the main ingredient in this drink but it definitely sings louder than the rest. It's actually a pretty decent balance between the fruit of the brandy and the citrus in the triple sec. Give this unique cocktail a shot and dream a little dream for me, baby.
The Dream
1 1/2 oz Brandy
3/4 oz Anisette
1/2 oz Triple Sec
The flavor is actually a fairly delicate balance so don't mess around with the measurements on this one. Definitely worth trying if you're up for something new.
