Notes:
From the drink’s creator, Cameron Abercrombie:

“The Midnight Crusade is all based around adding different forms of texture and aromatics to a relatively simple format.

“Bee Pollen amplifies everything about the rum up to 11, adds a nice length and palate weight to the overall balance, in an effort for sustainably I also used oxidised white wine for the base of the poached pear syrup.

“Basil Oil to tie everything off in a nice bow and although a bit overused at the moment, is absolutely essential to the format of the serve.”
