3:1 And A Bad Idea
The Canada Cocktail gave us 3:1 liquor to liqueur plus bitters (and sugar). I think this concept needs further investigation. I will begin experiments drinking and report my findings. First though, a maligned ingredient. What Dr Bamboo calls a Potable Pariah.
This one time Chris made mention of a Malibu Old Fashioned in the Mixo chat, much to everyone's horror & dismay as I recall. I however was intrigued rather than horrified. So, damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!
Malibu OF
2 oz Malibu
0.25 oz pineapple syrup
dash aromatic bitters
Stir over ice in an old fashioned glass . Garnish with a cherry.
Good God is that sweet! Too sweet. WAAAAAY too sweet.
Oh well, live and learn I suppose. The Ouzo OF on the other hand...

1) If I did indeed create this idea, I mostly certainly would have said that with such a sweet spirit, no syrup would be needed, like I said here: http://spiritedremix.blogspot.com/2010/11/review-evan-williams-honey-reserve.html
2) I feel you may be maiming the somewhat creamy flavor of the rum with the spice of Angostura (then again, I remember your orzata fizz). I think a smarter bitters choice could have been easily found for a light spirit such as this, like I said here: http://spiritedremix.blogspot.com/2011/06/old-fashioned-your-syrup-need-not-be.html
Anyway, I love crazy drink ideas and plugs, so bloody marvelous, good sir!
