The Oath of Fealty

The Oath of Fealty

This cocktail is an exclusive to the Inn of the Tyger, and was concocted during an epically long Laurel Council meeting the author attended over Zoom.

During the fourth hour of a six hour marathon, and after a particularly heated discussion on what exemplifies “Peer Like Qualities”, I found myself wanting a refreshment. I had opened a bottle of White Cranberry Peach juice for breakfast and thought that might make a nice flavor profile, especially on a warm and sunny Southern California September day.

Given the richness of the juice, and taking stock of my limited bar, I opted for a Jenever base (Vodka would also do nicely; avoid Gin unless it is fruity or floral). With this I thought Chambord might pair well with the forward peach of the juice, and to balance some lemon juice. Et Viola!
