A Spontaneous Libation for your Consideration

The Four Humours

Posted by Zachary Pearson. Created by Brandon Wise, Imperial PDX.
1 oz Virgin Islands Rum, Cruzan Blackstrap
3⁄4 oz Santa Maria al Monte
Instructions

Stir, strain, up.

Notes

The ratio may be 1 1/2 Smith & Cross and 1/2 Cruzan Blackstrap. Incredibly good. Firmly bitter, almost like lighting Smith & Cross on fire. Smoky and austere. Definitely a sipper, but completely impressive.

  • Re Eve's Vacation, 1 day 18 hours ago Shawn C commented:

    The cocktail itself is brilliant. I used my own pomegranate grenadine syrup (had some particularly dark and intense aryls for this batch) and a fresh lime off the tree. The pomegranate was a great pairing with the fig which can be a bit intense if not properly mated. The Strega provides some slight mint/alpine herbal and bolsters the anise in the Mahia. The bitters provide a slight chili heat to the finish.

  • Re Eve's Vacation, 1 day 18 hours ago Shawn C commented:

    Curated to list Mahia by Nahmias et Fils as a brand and change ingredient above from "fig" to fig liqueur. Fig liqueur was already listed as an ingredient but with the same specs as a creme de figue (low proof, sweet.) I have modified the listing for fig liqueur to be 80 proof, only moderately sweet, and including some herbal.

  • Re Naked and Famous, 1 day ago mako commented:

    A new classic. I had a variation called Naked and Infamous (a common name) at Protocol in Amherst, MA that subbed Liquore Strega for Yellow Charteuse. Very good a nice option for these relatively Charteuse-starved times.

  • I saw the name and immediately knew who created it ;) wonderful smoky aroma but sweet and bitter on the tongue.

  • Re Bourbon Belle, 4 days ago brogie62 commented:

    Reduced bourbon to 2 oz and increased peach liquor to 0.75 as others have suggested.
    Also, altered to bitters to 2 dashes each of peach bitters and cardamom bitters. Might need a little more spice.
