#027 Sandshrew

1 oz. Gold Rum
1/2 oz. Amaretto
1/2 oz. Berentzen
1/2 oz. Brown Sugar Syrup
2 dashes Orange Bitters

Add all the ingredients to a rocks glass without ice and stir lightly. Add ice, ideally one large cube. Stir again lightly, and garnish with a golden apple ball. 


This is an interested Old Fashioned style cocktail. The gold color of Sandshrew is brought out by the apple liqueur, the rum, and the dilution of the ice. I recently learned that a Sandshrew really is more of a pangolin than an armadillo. They are an endangered species. At the time of writing this, I have decided that once I get some professional photographs done of a few of these cocktails I'm going to create a Kickstarter to publish a version of these cocktails and donate any and all proceeds to animal charities. 

"Sandshrew, the Mouse Pokémon. Sandshrew hates moisture and lives in holes it digs in dry places. It protects itself by curling into a ball."
