This may be the 2017 Haus Cocktail it is so unbelievably delicious:

2 ounces Kentucky Bourbon

1 ounce curacao or tangerine brandy (use real curacao or go for grand marnier or something similar, although the tangerine brandy (see link) is killer in it.)

.5 ounce sweet vermouth (Dolin)

.25 ounce fresh squeezed orange juice

.25 ounce fresh squeezed lime juice

1 tsp. maraschino cherry juice

1 thin slice each of orange and lime, chopped up

1 slice orange

1 maraschino cherry

Add the chopped up orange and lime to a cocktail shaker, with any juices from the cutting board.

Fill cocktail shaker with crushed ice.

Add liquors and juices. Shake for 30 seconds.

Strain into chilled rocks glass.

Skewer the orange slice between the zest and flesh in the pith, thread the cherry on toothpick, fold the opposite side of the orange over and secure it to make an orange slice folded over the cherry. Garnish the drink.

Optional: serve on the rocks.

Oh yeah, I would be all over that with some...

St. Germain
Basil
and a splash of Texas Ruby Red Grapefruit juice.

Ruby Red Basil Martinis are one of my summer libations when the basil is growing fast and furious.

 
Sorry, typing on my phone since children have commandeered my laptop....

I love the scent of grapefruit and basil, but have never yried them together in a dish or libation...sounds like a winner.
