Midnight Reverie

A bold, aromatic highball that bridges herbal, anise and dark cherry flavors. Jagermeister’s bittersweet complexity and ouzo’s cooling licorice note meet Cherry Pepsi for a nostalgic cola twist. The sugared rim enhances each sip with a crystalline crunch, while jasmine flowers perfume the senses and evoke a midnight garden. Ingredients: - 1 oz Jagermeister - 1/2 oz ouzo - 3 oz Cherry Pepsi (chilled) - Ice cubes - 1 lemon wedge (for rimming) - Fine white sugar (for rimming) - Edible jasmine flowers (for garnish; or substitute with a jasmine petal or two, if available) Glassware: - Highball glass Preparation: 1. Rub the rim of a highball glass with the lemon wedge. Dip the rim into fine white sugar to create an even, sparkling crust. 2. Fill the glass with ice cubes. 3. Add Jagermeister and ouzo to the glass. 4. Top with chilled Cherry Pepsi. Stir gently to combine. 5. Garnish with a few jasmine flowers or petals, floating on the surface. Serve immediately, enjoying the interplay of herbal, floral, and cola notes with each sugared sip.
