2 oz Gin (London Dry Gin)
1 oz Aloe vera liqueur, Chareau
1 oz RinQuinQuin a la Peche
1 Kumquat (whole fruit)
Instructions

Stir gin, Chareau, Rinquinquin w/ ice; strain into coup. Flame the Kumquat over coupe (squeezing Kumquat into flame), then drop into glass

Notes

This is a really unusual drink, light and nearly clear with only a very light peach color. Not sweet, not dry, but with abundant hard-to-describe flavors from the aloe liqueur and the peach/wine quinquina. Overall there is some aloe, dill, melon, hints of mint with some lingering Wrigley's gum backbone/finish.

I used Hayman's London Dry Gin for its lemon peel character. I have fresh ripe Kumquat's on a small potted tree, and the fruit definitely add to the flavor, aroma and presentation.

History

This appears to be an adaptation of earlier aloe containing cocktails, but the lineage is unclear.
