A Spontaneous Libation for your Consideration

Fenway Sling

Created and posted by Rob Marais.
1 1⁄2 oz Gold rum, Ragged Mountain (Use any Barbados-style rum you like. Using Brugal gold might please Big Papi.)
3⁄4 oz Cherry shrub (Homemade, and red for the Sox)
1⁄2 oz Bénédictine
1 ds Bitters, Bittermens Burlesque (Change up to other fruit- or spice-based bitters ad lib. or per pitcher sign)
1 spl Seltzer water
Instructions

Build over ice in highball, toss into mixing glass and back to combine, top with seltzer, give brief stir.

Notes

Varies from Baker's canonical Singapore Sling by using tart cherry shrub instead of cherry cordial and lime, though a lime wedge squeezed and pitched in like Lester would be a nice addition. Named for my 'hood in Boston, and appropriately red.

History

Swizzled in state of deep thirst à la minute 7/5/11.

The Margarita, or An Earthy Mystery

Americans drink a lot of Margaritas. While the Margarita makes up eighteen percent of the mixed drinks ordered in the United States, tequila represents only six percent of the domestic spirits market. Unfortunately, we drink a lot of bad Margaritas too. Neon colored, super-sweet, artificially flavored, poorly made, cheap ingredient, frozen-slushy Margaritas surely account for most of those eighteen percent.

Perhaps one reason that Americans drink a lot of bad Margaritas is that we seem to have no idea of its origin. There are theories (among others) that Dallas socialites, Peggy Lee, Mexican (or Irish, or Texan) bartenders, German ambassador’s daughters or Ziegfeld Follies dancers all have a hand in the drink.

    Did Anders' version:

    It was without cynar, more port and lemon.

    Suze is a hard sell for most people, but this one shines!

  • Re Rooster-Tail, 5 days ago drinkingandthinking commented:

    I see why this has 5 stars! Perfectly integrated and refreshing but with depth.

  • Re Tuxedo, 1 week ago Shawn C commented:

    Kindred Cocktails member joshlh has contributed his own special calls for this one, referring to it as "Maturin", using Gin Mare, Manzanilla sherry, Regan's orange bitters, with 4 drops of saline, and lemon twist.

  • Re Tuxedo Cocktail (Harry Johnson), 1 week ago Shawn C commented:

    I am going to curate this to correct the reference and year. Harry Johnson's Bartender Manual didn't have 267 pages until 1900 revised edition, so the 1882 year is wrong, and this is from the 1900 edition. This makes sense with Wondrich's 2007 statement about the Tuxedo Club (est. 1886) being the origin of the cocktail, and to a different spec. I will also change for format for noting extra dashes.
