2oz "Russian Tiger Liquor"
1 oz lemon juice
2 dashes Peychaud's bitters
Splash of soda water
Combine all ingredients in an ice-filled shaker; stir and strain into old-fashioned cocktail glass half filled with ice.
I inherited a strange Russian liquor from my former roommate. There are no English words on it anywhere and the only things I know about it are that it has an illustration of a tiger on its logo, and that it tastes kind of like a heavy-on-the-honey, weak-on-the-anise Jagermeister. Since it was already somewhat sweet (though nauseatingly strong), I decided it needed some sourness and bitters to balance it out. The resulting cocktail was pretty good; don't know how to describe the taste, but it was very strong, kind of sweet, and kind of sour. More of a kick in the face than a regular Old-Fashioned.
