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.

    Halved the recipe, worked like a champ. Excellent on a hot day!

    That yuzu super juice has changed my life, I'm addicted.

  • Re Wounded Swede, 2 days ago Shawn C commented:

    I was expecting a really bitter kick with this much Malort, but the drink proved to have well-balanced bitterness with a very long wormwood finish. The gentle malt, subtle cherry, and broader grape/gentian of the Bonal create a fine flavor body to contrast with the ensuing finish. It is a solid 4+ on flavor alone, but doing that with this much Malort earns style points, so I am giving it a 5.

  • Curated to change rinse from Teapot Bitters to Dandelion and Burdock Bitters per the recipe notes.

  • Re Paper Flower, 2 days ago Shawn C commented:

    Curated to Dandelion & Burdock Bitters per the original ingredient note. Dr Adam Elmegirab's Aphrodite Bitters had been selected as a work around in the ingredient list from what I could see. Also had to change the Lillet to Lillet Blanc since the editor red flagged it as ambiguous. If either of these selections are incorrect, let me know so it can be fixed.
