Bluebeard’s Ghost

BLUEBEARD’S GHOST

• 2 oz. / 60 ml. blueberry-infused bourbon

• ½ oz. / 15 ml. banana liqueur

• ½ oz. / 15 ml. Fernet Branca

• ¾ oz. / 22.5 ml. fresh lemon juice

• 1½ oz. / 45 ml. blueberry ice cream, melted to clarify

METHOD
combine all ingredients except ice cream / stir and pour melted ice cream / let sit for a 1-2 hours (or overnight) until ice cream curdles / slowly pour mixture into funnel with coffee filter or paper towel / first drops will be cloudy, so swap out container when drops are clear / pass through cloudy portion until all is clear / store in sealed bottle / to serve, pour over clear ice / garnish with blueberries

ABOUT
Meet an original of mine that is a straight BANGER. You get blueberries twice: through infusion with fresh blueberries and through clarification. Banana plays so well with bourbon and the fruit. The Fernet is subtle but gives some minty notes and depth. Cheers y’all!
