Trying to design something for a party with an Asian stir fry, food ginger-garlic-soy-citrus flavors. Hostess requested St. Germain or Midori. She hates mezcal and smoky whiskey. So this is the Esmeralda but with bourbon and it’s pretty good.

2 oz Leblon cachaca

.75 oz St. Germain

.5oz bourbon

Juice of one not very juicy lime

Simple syrup to taste (doesn’t need as much as the original recipe)

Let one of my kids taste it and their only comment is that it could use a pinch of salt flavor (probably because it’s missing the Islay it’s too flat). I do have smoked Maldon, may try a grain of that next time, and lemon not lime - this doesn’t hit so hard despite being mostly booze so I think I can evaluate one more today.
