A Spontaneous Libation for your Consideration

Devil's Daiquiri

Created and posted by applejack.
1 1⁄2 oz Puerto Rican Rum, Bacardi (1909 Superior Heritage)
1⁄2 oz Ancho Reyes chile liqueur
3⁄4 oz Pineapple juice
1⁄2 oz Coffee syrup
1 oz Lime juice
Instructions

Shake all ingredients with ice for 15 seconds, strain into coupe. Either no garnish, or garnish with lime twist or lime wheel.

Notes

I originally used Bacardi 1909 Superior Heritage for this, which is 89 proof. That was a limited edition release and I believe no longer available, so use another higher proof white rum (such as Diplomatico Planas) if available.
For the coffee syrup, I mixed equal parts Aeropress coffee (between a French press and espresso in strength) with demerara sugar.

History

Part of my 2015 "Daiquiri-palooza" of weekly daiquiri riffs for an entire year.

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.

    Made this drink for a regular and he was over the moon. Tried it myself and found it to be super warming and complex. A really nice combination of flavors. Amazing toddy variation.

  • Re Bijou (Dry Vermouth), 2 days 19 hours ago danoman89 commented:

    Shockingly easy drinking with Beefeaters. Would probably make it with a more bracing gin next time- seems like it can stand up to something stronger

  • Re Dubois Margarita, 2 days 22 hours ago RoscoeHour commented:

    Excellent! Used Nosotros Añejo. I'm not bothering with a traditional margarita after this.

  • Re Ski Mask #1, 4 days 4 hours ago Craig E commented:

    The wine glass was adopted wholesale from the vintage recipe for the Balaklava Special No. 1, on which this drink is a riff. (Instead of grape-based spirit [cognac] and caraway-inflected mixer [kümmel], this uses a caraway-inflected spirit (aquavit) and a grape-based mixer [vermouth].)
    But it's not particularly important for the enjoyment of the drink that it sticks to the original glassware spec!
    Glad you liked it!

    Made with Smith & Cross; 5/5. Big boozy and beautiful
