d'yer mak'er

1 1/2 oz Smith & Cross
1/2 oz Kronan Swedish Punsch
1/2 oz Honey Syrup 2:1 (2/3 oz 1:1)
3/4 oz Lime Juice
1 dash Angostura Bitters

Whip shake with crushed ice, pour into an old fashioned glass, fill with crushed ice, and garnish with an orange twist (orange peel snake). Two Wednesdays ago, I uncovered a set of online recipe flashcards for Monkeypod Wailea in Hawaii, and I latched on to the D'yer Mak'er. The card mentioned to pronounce it like "Jamaica", and an Instagram friend commented that it comes from British slang for "did you make her" thus the pronunciation. This drink perhaps named after the Led Zeppelin song dates back to at least 2014 via a blog post with a drink photo. I utilized a similar rum, Swedish punsch, honey, and lime combination in the Reverend Wise at Loyal Nine back in 2017, so I was curious to try it with a more flavorful base spirit and a greater amount of Swedish punsch. In the glass, the D'yer Mak'er donated Jamaican funk, orange, and floral aromas to the nose. Next, caramel, honey, and lime notes on the sip sailed into funky rum, black tea, allspice, and clove flavors on the swallow.
