S/Y Marie’s ChiefStewardess Jasmin Rutter draws inspiration from more than one element in thismonth’s cocktail. Called Half Time, the cocktail was aptly named for beingcreated halfway through 2015 and for its abundance of orange, which is whatRutter was given to snack on during half time of sports games back home.
“This is a strong, but very tasty summer cocktail,” saysRutter. “A great drink to offer guests after dinner instead of tea or coffee inthe summer. No doubt charter guests will also love it in comparison to a drinkon the rocks.”
HALF TIME
Ingredients:
40ml Bourbon (suggested: BULLEIT)

10ml Port (suggested: a rather sweet one)

Method:
