This equal-parts variant created in the late 2010s, stems from the Prohibition-era Last Word and even more directly from Sam Ross’ Paper Plane invented a few years earlier. The key difference here is the introduction of a spicy Ancho Reyes liqour.
This drink’s name comes from a classic baked Purim treat recalling the 3-cornered hat worn by Haman. A hamantaschen is a jelly-filled pastry, and here we use sweet jelly to bring balance to this gin sour. Inspired by Sasha Petraske’s Cosmonaut.
Also known as the “Papa Doble,” the mythology suggests that Ernest Hemingway asked for this spec at Havana’s El Floridita bar. He was said to have consumed sixteen of these at one sitting. The man was a monster!
