Medicinal Sour

3⁄4 oz Herbal liqueur, Green Chartreuse
1⁄2 oz Suze
1⁄2 oz Lime juice
1⁄2 oz Lemon juice
1⁄2 oz Anise syrup (Monin)
1⁄4 oz Absinthe
Instructions

Shake well with ice and strain into a Nick & Nora glass.

History

The name comes from its similarity to a pastille that works as a sore throat remedy although “death row sour” was a close second.

I believe that this is my authentic recipe but I note that there is some similarity to Pangolindo’s take on the Industry sour (aka “Barlone try”).

Play Dead

3⁄4 oz Lime juice
3⁄4 oz Añejo rum (An aged, blended, column still rum works, like Cruzan Single Barrel or Don Q añejo.)
3⁄4 oz Demerara Rum, Lemon Hart 151
1⁄2 oz Grapefruit juice
1⁄4 oz Cinnamon syrup
1⁄4 oz Falernum
1 t Grenadine
1 ds Bitters, Angostura
1 ds Absinthe
Instructions

Shake with ice and double-strain into a cocktail coupe. No garnish.

History

This is a low-octane Zombie variation, served up. It was inspired by Martin Cate’s “Undead Gentleman,” which by its ingredients is closer to a Jet Pilot, and has more volume than fits in a standard cocktail coupe. This restores the Zombie’s complexity with the addition of grenadine, and lowers the alcohol to a more typical cocktail level.

Good use of the pear, which comes through in the right amount. I did not like the contribution of the curacao as much, which gave the drink a "Smarties" taste. Overall it's an extremely fruity cocktail. Not bad, but also just forgettable.

I've always thought that the PF Curacao tasted like baby aspirin. Thanks, Zachary

1⁄2 oz Becherovka
3⁄4 oz Luxardo Bitter Bianco

Notes

The ingredients form a strange alchemy that brings out a delightful coconut/shea buttery note. Rye works well too.

DragOclive

3 T Dragonfruit
1 1⁄2 oz Gin (Pomp & Whimsy)
3⁄4 oz Junmai Sake (Soto)
3⁄4 oz Cherry Liqueur, Sangue Morlacco
1⁄2 oz Amaro (Pergote Amaro d' Erbe)
1⁄2 oz Saffron tincture (Sogol)
Instructions

1. Gently muddle the dragonfruit in the shaker.
2. Add all ingredients and shake vigorously with ice.
3. Strain into a frozen coupe glass.

Notes

1. Use lots of dragonfruit for the muddle. There is not much juice as it smooshes into a mush. So the more there is, the more flavor will get transferred during the shaking.

Rhino Boulevard

2 oz Bourbon, Old Grand Dad 100
1 oz Aperitivo (Rinomato)
1 oz Sweet vermouth, Carpano Antica Formula
1 ds Bitters, Bittercube Cherry Bark Vanilla
Instructions

Stir, strain, orange peel garnish.

Notes

Rinomato, somewhere between Campari and Aperol, recently arrive in my hometown, and I thought a Boulevardier riff would put it to good use. Chose bourbon instead of rye for the relatively more mellow Rinomato. A dash of bitters is a departure from the classic Boulevardier, but adds that extra something. Orange or whiskey barrel or black walnut are also recommended.
