Mai T-Day

1⁄2 oz Simple syrup (Parsnip)
1⁄2 oz Curaçao, Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao
1 t Allspice Dram, St Elizabeth
Instructions

Shake with a big cube and a little cube, strain over another big cube (this would also work with crushed ice probably). Garnish with star anise.

Notes

To make parsnip syrup, juice parsnips until you have a half cup of strained juice, mix with equal weight sugar and a dash of orange flower water.

You can also sub .5 of the rum for something a little more funky or bold if you feel like it.

Two O'Clock at the Metropole

1 1⁄2 oz Cognac
1⁄4 oz Pineapple syrup
1 twst Lemon peel (as garnish)
Instructions

Stir with ice, strain into a cocktail coupe, and garnish with a lemon twist.

History

I mashed up Harry Johnson's Saratoga with the Metropole – a Cognac Dry Manhattan with Peychaud's Bitters (David Wondrich included gum syrup to make it more agreeable to the modern palate) – first published in George Kappeler's 1895 Modern American Drinks. For a name, I dubbed this one Two O'Clock at the Metropole after a James Thurber piece about the 1912 murder of gambling den owner Herman Rosenthal at Manhattan's Hotel Metropole.
