Aldrin Ivan "Poch" Ancheta, The Curator Coffee & Cocktail Bar, Parkview Building Legaspi Village, Makati, Philippines
"The drink was conceived mainly as a challenge that was given by one of my guest incorporating a new bottle that we have yet to try, Pavan which is a liqueur made from muscat grape as well a touch of orange blossom. Upon checking the product i was intrigued and challenged in using it as a component of a manly drink. I decided to use it in a spirit forward drink with Rye whisky to check if it would create wonderful layer of contrasting flavors as well as adding up Aperol and Becherovka , a new liqueur as well which gives hints of ginger and cinnamon to me dashes of Peychaud rounded this drink up and when I was done the finished product was surprising quite frankly. The nose is very different to the taste[and the is] something whimsical for me. The taste reminded me of a famous bubble gum for me hence I named it after that famous gum. Enjoy!" Aldrin Ivan "Poch" Ancheta
45 ml (1.5 oz) Rittenhouse Rye
15 ml (.5 oz) Aperol
15 ml (.5 oz) Becherovka
15 ml (.5 oz) Pavan
2 dashes Peychaud's Bitters
1 lemon twist, as garnish
Stir over ice and strain into a chilled coupette or Cocktail glass. Add the garnish.
gaz sez: This could be the weirdest drink I've encountered for many years, and how Poch decided on his ingredients is quite beyond me, but he did do a damned good job, and this sort of formula deserves to be highlighted as a display of the current generation's way of thinking.
