Jet Pilot (1951) Cocktail Recipe

⚛ A Classic Cocktail from the Atomic Age ⚛

 Ingredients:

    1/2 oz lime juice

    1/2 oz grapefruit juice

    1/2 oz cinnamon syrup (B.G. Reynolds' Don's Mix)*

    1/2 oz falernum (Le Lab Sirop Tiki 1930 Falernum)*

    1 oz dark Jamaican rum (80 Proof Lemon Hart Demerara Rum)*

    3/4 oz gold Puerto Rican rum (Bacardi Gold Rum)*

    3/4 oz 151 Proof Lemon Hart Demerara Rum (Bacardi 151 Proof Rum)*

    6 drops Pernod

    1 dash Angostura bitters

    4 oz crushed ice

*All items in parentheses were the ingredients I used/Substituted(LCBO  Friendly)

Directions:

Put everything into a blender, adding crushed ice last, and blend at high speed for five seconds. Pour into an old-fashioned glass.

My Notes:

Though it shares most of the "Zombies" ingredients it is a much more balanced drink,one you could indulge in all night long.Initially I found it slightly too sweet but this perceived sweetness disappeared after a few sips when the acidity of the lime/grapefruit kicked in.
