A New Cocktail Proposition : Feu Follet
Feu Follet :
45 ml lightly aged agricole rum
15 ml green chartreuse
15 ml Falernum
15 ml St Germain
15 ml orgeat
30 ml lime
20 ml Pineapple
150 ml Crushed ice (more dilution is wanted)
Angostura bitters 1-2 dash on top
A tick bush of slapped (for aroma) thai basil
French name because of many French ingredients, but keeping with tiki traditions of mysterious and dangerous vibe.
I created this recipe after reading through the excellent tiki cocktail book Smuggler’s Cove. It’s unnecessarily complicated just because…
as all good tiki drinks should be
Basically the realm of Tiki cocktail has few criteria (1)sour/involve citrus (2) complexity and (3) extra points for crashing ice with a hammer. it’s impossible not to be happy crushing ice!
Sounds wonderful and looks great! Many tiki drinks end up looking a dull brown, but this one has a great color to it.
I see a bottle of chartreuse, I upvote!
Looks great! If my pineapple is still good I may try it this weekend!
