A Spontaneous Libation for your Consideration

City Bird

Created and posted by waitiki.
2 oz Rhum Agricole, Neisson blanc
1 oz Lemon juice
1⁄2 oz Campari
1⁄4 oz Triplum, Luxardo
1⁄2 oz Prosecco (to top)
1 Lemon peel (as garnish)
Instructions

Combine first four ingredients in shaker over cracked ice. Prepare a collins glass with a horse's neck garnish and cracked ice. Shake and strain into the glass; Top with a 1/2 oz prosecco (club soda is an acceptable substitute) for texture.

Notes

A drier, lighter take on the Jungle Bird. Effervescent, notes of summer grass and a splendid pink hue. Luxardo Triplum is essential to the taste of this drink, as it has a slightly nutty/pithy flavor that works well with Neisson and Campari. (Cointreau is too sweet.) If Luxardo Triplum is not available, the Luxardo Apricot works well.

History

Created as a variation of the classic Jungle Bird; the City Bird also works as a lighter, "session" counterpart to the rich blackstrap version Giuseppe Gonzalez popularized in NYC a couple of years later. We used this on a summer menu back in 2011.

The Flight of the Negroni

The Negroni is indomitable. Attack it with skewed ratios, and it rallies. Violate the ingredients, and it stubbornly persists. I can’t think of another drink that you can screw up so thoroughly and still enjoy the result.

This history of the Negroni is disputed, but probably dates to 1919, where the Americano was stiffened by substituting gin for the soda water. Regardless of exactly who created the drink and when, the Negroni is the King of bitter cocktails. If you spy a bottle of Campari on the backbar, the bartender probably knows how to make a Negroni.
