The Tiny Hands

Michael Williams: [sees dozens of stick-men hanging from trees] “No red-neck is this creative.”
“The Blair Witch Project” (1999).

The Tiny Hands cocktail was purportedly thought up by Deidre Darling of Chicago’s The Savoy, who describes the drink: “The cocktail is further enhanced by the bitterness of the Fernet-Branca. The garnish was inspired by the formation of dolls out of wooden sticks.”

  • 1½ oz Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum infused with Forbidden Forest Lapsang Souchong Tea*
  • ½ oz Fernet-Branca
  • 2 full eye droppers of chocolate mole bitters
  • ½ oz lemon juice
  • ½ oz agave nectar
  • 1 egg white

Fill all ingredients into a shaker, shake to emulsify egg white, add ice and shake to chill. Strain and garnish with cinnamon sticks, cloves and tea leaves.*To infuse Sailor Jerry Rum with tea, soak tea bags in rum. Let steep. Strain before use.
