Nomad

Just reading over the ingredient list for the Nomad looks feels like reading the crazed scrawls of a bartender trapped on a desert island. Three kinds of gin, a caraway-seed liqueur, three citrus, and no fewer than four syrups – insanity! There is a thin line between the madness and the genius, as they say, and the Nomad cocktail is delicious proof.
Kaiser Penguin, a nearly-defunct blog, used to be one of our favorite resources for finding inventive new recipes for tiki cocktails. The Nomad was the Kaiser’s very last contribution the blog, and it is a fitting end.
