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.

    Fixed a number of errors and omissions in this old submission: Uses Lairds bonded (100 proof) apple brandy, not an ambiguous apple jack (which can be lower proof, mixed with other neutral spirits and relatively unaged.) Uses Peychaud's, not Angostura. Short shaken, not stirred. Added the club soda to ingredients.

  • Re Jakartian Peardition, 5 hours 28 minutes ago Shawn C commented:

    Corrected the recipe from "pear liqueur" to "pear eau de vie" and the called for Clear Creek. The previous commenter is correct, pear brandy and pear liqueur can differ greatly. Unfortunately, "pear brandy" currently is listed as an alias for pear liqueur, when pear brandy is instead ambiguous because it could refer to a drier brandy or eau de vie, while pear liqueur is by nature sweetened. It could take some time to untangle this in other recipes.

    Curated to make name match link, change stir to shake, add salt rim, and clarify twist.

  • Re Alberto, 2 days ago Shawn C commented:

    Unfortunately and somewhat to my surprise, Punch's version doesn't do this one justice, since it omits the Cointreau and the orange peel that are in the 1937 recipe. I prefer Kina l'Aero d'Or to Cocchi Americano in many of the old Kina Lillet cocktails, including this one, because I find the Cocchi somewhat overly intense with respect to cinnamon notes. As an approximation of the original cocktail I used: 1 Tanqueray, 1 Kina l'Aero d'Or, 1 Lustau Fino Sherry, 1/6 (1 barspoon) Cointreau, orange peel in drink. My recommendation is to use the Cointreau volume to slightly adjust sweetness up or down. I am debating whether to make a new cocktail entry for the "original" Alberto with Kina Lillet, and add my notes there.

  • Re Fanny Wright, 2 days ago Shawn C commented:

    Good cocktail, cool name reference, and I can tell it would work very well with a rich stew. The Bruto Americano adds some cooking herb flavors for another dimension. I tried it using Cutty Sark Prohibition for its flavor, but the 100 proof made it a little hot, so I recommend sticking to an 80 proof as in the original call. I used 1/4 oz Maraschino vs. 1/3 oz (2 tsp) as I was worried that might dominate--I can be a little gun shy with Luxardo.
