Two or Three Things I know About White Negronis

1 oz Gin
1⁄2 oz Suze (Salers or Aveze will work well here too)
1⁄4 oz Bénédictine
1⁄4 oz Honey syrup (1:1)
1 oz Dry vermouth
2 ds Bitters, Bittermens Xocolatl Mole
Instructions

Stir with ice and strain into a rocks glass with a large ice cube.

History

I had been thinking about the trio of Suze, Benedictine, and honey in the Devil's Highway that I created on the fly at Drink a few weeks ago. Soon, my mind wondered if I could work it into a White Negroni. To counter the sweeter and not bitter elements, I swapped in dry vermouth to balance things out. For a name, I riffed on Jean-Luc Godard's movie title Two or Three Things I Know About Her.

Lion's Share (Drink version)

2 oz Bourbon
1⁄2 oz Lemon juice
1⁄4 oz Allspice Dram
1⁄4 oz Vanilla syrup
1⁄4 oz Demerara syrup
1 ds Bitters, Angostura
Instructions

Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail coupe.

Notes

All syrups 1:1.

History

At Drink, I had a guest who wanted yet another Whiskey Sour, so I decided to improvise. I decided to start with the Lion's Tail but use lemon instead of lime. Moreover, I combined it with the concept of Don's Spices #2 of allspice dram and vanilla syrup since vanilla as well as the spice duo work great with Bourbon. For a name, I wanted to keep "Lion's" in it and ended up dubbing it the Lion's Share when I made it for myself when I got home. The vanilla ends up bringing out an aged elegance from the whiskey, and the allspice and bitters are more of an accent than a driving force here (especially with the lemon for lime swap).
