Turkey Legs
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 ounce brandy, preferably V.S.O.P.
- 1/2 ounce blackstrap rum, such as Cruzan or Goslings
- 1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
- 3/4 ounce St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram
- Sprig of fresh mint, for garnish
- Dash of Peychauds Bitters
- Make honey syrup: In a small saucepan, mix the honey with 1/4 cup hot water from the tap.
- Simmer over low heat, stirring, until integrated.
- Set aside to cool, about 5 minutes.
- In a tall glass, combine the brandy, rum, lime juice and Allspice Dram with 1/2 ounce of the honey syrup.
- (Remaining syrup can be refrigerated for up to 1 week.)
- Half-fill glass with crushed ice and stir with a bar spoon or chopstick until the outside of the glass begins to frost.
- Add more crushed ice until it forms a small mound above the rim of the glass.
- Garnish by tucking the mint sprig between the ice and the glass, and insert a straw.
- Dash bitters over the mound of ice to give the drink a pink hat.
