We’ve enlisted the assistance of local mixologist Josh Lemay for this recipe. Read through our conversation with him in SKORDO Kitchen, linked here. Some vocabulary for below: 'Hulls' refers to what's left of the lime after its been juiced. 'Orgeat' is a sweet almond syrup and 'Aqua Faba' is the juice from a can of chickpeas, a great egg white replacement. Enjoy!

Ingredients
For the Hibiscus Aquavit:
- 2 g hibiscus petals
- 375 ml Aquavit
For the Farewell Transmission:
- 1.5 oz hibiscus aquavit
- .75 oz tamarind juice
- .5 oz lime infused rum cordial (Made of sugar, lime hulls, and rum - See Step 1 below)
- .5 oz orgeat
- .5 oz egg white, or aqua faba
- .35 oz lime juice
Directions
- Make a lime cordial. In a blender combine equal parts lime hulls and sugar and add enough overproof rum to cover. Pulse until smooth, taste and adjust sugar or rum as needed. Let it sit for 4 hours at room temperature. Strain out the pulp and set aside.
- Make the hibiscus aquavit. Add hibiscus petals to aquavit for two hours, strain and set aside.
- Add all ingredients to cocktail shaker and shake! You'll want to shake this one a bit longer than you typically would to really froth the egg whites. Serve & enjoy!
If you were looking to rim your glass, I'd recommend SKORDO Posy Sugar.
