Beta Cocktails by Maks Pazuniak and Kirk Estopinal

Are you a bartender that wants to find that one drink to add to your menu to make your local cocktail nerd swoon? Or maybe you're the jaded home mixer who's tried so many Manhattan variations you are sure they are running out of areas of New York? Behold: Beta Cocktails. Originally published in 2009 as Rogue Cocktails, the book is a collaboration between Maks Pasuniak and Kirk Estopinal, who met while tending bar in New Orleans. They combined a handful of their own recipes with some of their favorite boundary-pushing offerings from their colleagues and slapped the whole thing together as a self-published mini-book. Everything seemed great until Rogue Brewery came calling with a trademark infringement complaint, and Beta Cocktails was born.

    Perfectly balances the sweet, the bitter and the spirit. Elevated.

  • Re Vancouver, 4 hours ago Shawn C commented:

    This one changed over time. Difford's Guide points to a "Vancouver" recipe in "About Town Cocktail Book" published in 1925 by Mitchell Printing & Publishing of Vancouver, B.C. Same ingredients except using French vermouth rather than sweet vermouth; proportions differ with more Benedictine, probably for balance (50 gin/30 dry vermouth/20 benedictine/dash of orange bitters/ olive. The book was reviewed and apparently edited by Joe Fitchett, who contributed the "Fitchett" recipe using Italian vermouth in 50/30/20/dash proportions. So the 1934 Boothby recipe that has become the modern norm is likely an evolution of the Vancouver/Fitchett. Boothby's listing is 1/2 jigger: 1/4 jigger: spoonful: 2 dashes : pimento stuffed olive. I will probably curate to list as "altered" and to the Boothby pattern...might need to add a third dash of bitters to get the ratios equivalent.

    Pre-dates Stan Jones. I found this is the 1934 Boothby, and he probably got it elsewhere given the just after Prohibition publication date.
