History

After writing up the Anyone's Shadow for the blog, I decided to riff on the recipe by extracting the Meletti-Benedictine element and replacing the rye-Jamaican rum for the Cognac-mezcal duo from the 1910 Cocktail. I dubbed this one the Souls of the Mountain after a 1938 painting by surrealist Remedios Varo to keep with the 1910's Mexican theme.

Bitters non-potable? Pshaw.

Cocktails with Lots of Non-potable Bitters

Many of the definitive cocktails from both vintage and modern times are held together by non-potable bitters - infusions of various barks, roots, spices, and other flavoring agents that were traditionally developed as medicine. Before Prohibition (but after the cocktail had been well-established), this usually meant Angostura, Peychaud's, Boker's, or orange bitters, which were key ingredients in drinks like the Manhattan, the Sazerac, and - despite what Winston Churchill said - the Martini.

    Made with Stonebarn Nocino (60 proof) instead of Nux Alpina. Overall, I liked the blend of flavors, but it was too sweet for my palate. I think this had more to do with the Bénédictine. Will try it again with 1/4 oz. Bénédictine.

    Too much lemon juice. Try ½ oz next time.
