For Your Dapper's recent launch party, several of Hawaii's best chefs and mixologist were gracious enough to create appetizers and drinks inspired by our new line of bow ties: The Rosseland Collection. Here's what Christian Self of Bevy put together for us.

Words from Christian's mouth:

“I wanted to do something similar to the concept of Chekhov’s Gun where a seemingly ordinary item turns out to be particularly important.

Tasting Notes:
This punch recipe is name appropriate given the proofage on this bad boy. The Batavia Arrack* sits firmly in the middle of the cocktail providing a sweet, smoky, spicey flavor. Green Chartreuse’s herbal sweetness provides the main accenting the flavor. Absinthe then provides a tennor note green anise note. In harmony the trio provide an intricate base. Lime, basil, and lemongrass are then woven in-between the flavors to add a high acid note and a sweet aromatic flavor. In all this provided for a great spring or summer sipper.”

* Batavia Arrack, from the island of Java, is distilled from sugarcane and red rice using chinese pot stills and aged in teak vats. (www.alpenz.com/images/poftfolio/bataviafacts.htm)
