Winter is a high time for strong, boozy stir-down cocktails and Prime Inspector is a perfect candidate for that. Boulevardier inspired blend of apple brandy, amaro and vermouth. Delicious and remarkably enjoyable.
Base of the cocktail is apple brandy laying foundation with notes of apple and oak, with a hint of rum in the background. Amaro Averna adds some bitter-sweet flavours of citrus, liquorice as well as Mediterranean herbs. Punt e Mes further builds on the bitter-sweet aspect contributing to it with notes of honey, spices and dried fruits. Last, but not least, a dash of bitters expands on the sophistication with a bit more complexity.
All in all, Prime Inspector is a bold, deep and delicious cocktail. Perfect boozy sipper to relax with after a long and hard day at work.
