History

I was inspired to riff on Maks Pazuniak's 100 Year Old Cigar, and I swapped the dark rum accented by smoky Islay Scotch for a 3:1 rye whiskey to aquavit combination that I have used in drinks like Mockingbird, Wish Me Luck and was still fresh on my mind from having the Mergers & Acquisitions two weeks prior. I dubbed the drink Day Old Bread due to the rye and caraway notes.

  • 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.

    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.
