The Unladen Swallow

The Unladen Swallow

  • 1.5 oz. Cognac (Pierre Ferrand 1840)
  • 0.75 oz. Ferrand Yuzu Dry Curacao
  • 0.5 oz. Tempus Fugit Kina L’Aero D’Or
  • 0.25 oz. coconut rum (Planteray Cut & Dry)
  • dash of orange bitters

Stir with ice and strain into glass.

I had both the yuzu Curacao and coconut rum to play with, and came to this with just a little experimentation, using Cognac as a base and adding some bitter elements.

The name is from the classic Monty Python and the Holy Grail scene with the argument over coconuts, swallows and migration. And yes, they could grip it by the husk.
