26 Oct Cocktail: Fox Force Five
This five component stirred cocktail takes its name from the pilot project in Pulp Fiction. The ‘Fox Force Five’ was a deadly assassination squad, comprised of female assassins, who were as beautiful as they were dangerous.
Ingredients:
1.50 oz Maker’s Mark Bourbon
0.50 oz Laphroaig 10 YO Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
0.25 oz Alvear Amontillado Sherry
0.50 oz Bols Apricot Liqueur
0.50 oz Green Chartreuse (spiced liqueur)
2 dashes Bittered Sling Clingstone Peach Bitters
Method:
Add all ingredients to a mixing glass, add ice and stir until well chilled and diluted – about 15-20 seconds. Using a julep strainer, serve neat in a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a long, thin twist of lemon, expressing the oils over the top of the glass, and then dropping inside.
