The Boomerang that I know is a
Martini variation
with a dash of Angoastura bitters and maraschino liqueur. This is more of a
Manhattan variation. There's rye, dry vermouth, and Swedish punsch, which is a
rum-based spirit with spices and citrus. (Note: the bottle pictured is actually
my own recipe for Swedish punch, not the name on the lable.) The punsch added a
sweetness that I was not accustomed to in a dry Manhattan, and it was a welcome
change that made this cocktail unusual and more international than the standard
New York drink. This is another cocktail recipe that I came across in
researching Swedish punch and does not appear in any recipe book I've used.
- 1 oz. rye (North Fork rye used)
- 1 oz. dry vermouth (Dolin used)
- 1 oz. Swedish punshc (homemade used)
- 1 dash lemon juice
- 1 dash angostura bitters
Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
