A Pleasant Walk in the Park, or The Deeper Meaning Behind Wild Squirrel Sex

April 1, 2013. I put on my temporary neck tattoo and rode my velocipede down to Powell’s bookstore the other day. Luckily, there’s designated parking throughout most of downtown Portland for velocipedes, and I took the next to last one available. Dodging through the mass of newspaper sellers, itinerant players of Trevelyan’s Rocker, and stand-ins for the cover of Shearwater’s magnificent album “Rook”, I quickly found my way up to the rare book room. I often visit this room for some peace and solitude, as all the books in this room are over $20.

While idly browsing the stacks of books, I was startled to find one pushed to the back of the shelf, as if someone had wanted to hide the book from the gaze of mere mortals. Even more startling, the cover was not affixed with multitudes of bird stickers. Though the print was barely legible, I could make out that it was a Eighteenth century book of “Divers Receipts for the Manufacture, Blending and Drinking of Chymically-Flavoured Neutral Grain Spirits at Modest Proof”. Knowing my velocipede was safely parked outside and that I had removed the seat, the large wheel, the tires and the chain to deter thieves, I settled down to peruse the curious little book.

    If you have access to Cocchi Americano but not Amaro Nonino, this is a as close a drink as you can get to the Paper Plane, which is a useful approximation. That said, side-by-side, the original is less boozy yet with a more complex bitterness that the GentlemanCaller lacks. The honey does manage to bring in some florality similar to what Nonino brings, the reduced bitterness from the Cocchi is balanced out by the increased bitterness of the Campari - it works. Worth trying if you're curious about working within the Paper Plane family of drinks, but not a repeater.

  • Re Old King Creole, 5 minutes 39 seconds ago Jojiro commented:

    The ingredients list hints at something like a Vieux Carre. In practice, though, Clément Créole Shrubb tends to swallow up the rye and brandy, leaving the drink feeling more linear than you'd expect from the ingredients. If you're a home bartender looking for a nuanced, orange flavored cocktail without the characteristic bite of Clément Créole Shrubb, this delivers - but there isn't as much interplay as I'd hoped.

    Also part of the game of telephone that includes the Bitter Giuseppe (on here) and the Little Giuseppe (which is Boston's contribution).

    Lovely sipper; tastes like a great nightcap but wonderfully low ABV

    Really incredible margarita variant. Smoky, rich, and sweet.
