Overall, the balance was very much on the dry side of things, but I kept returning to the glass for another sip.

Nuitcap

1 oz Cognac
1 oz Bianco Vermouth
1⁄2 oz Salers Gentiane
1⁄4 oz Curaçao, Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao
1 oz Soda water (to top)
1 wdg Orange (or lemon twist, as garnish)
Instructions

Stir, strain, rocks, top, garnish.

Notes

Subbing génépy for the Salers moves it sweeter and more herbal; Suze instead bumps the bitterness and yellow color. Keep soda to one ounce, to add bubbles without making a spritz out of it.

unique and unusual. Not really my thing with all the gentian. It was a bit sweet so I added a bit of Campari which made it a bit more palatable to me, although more gentian-y

Lips Like Sugar

1 1⁄2 oz Mezcal
1⁄2 oz Sloe gin
1⁄2 oz Cynar
1⁄2 oz Lime juice
1⁄2 oz Simple syrup
Instructions

Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail coupe.

History

While working at Drink in Boston one night, I had made a guest or two Phil Ward's Lipspin. Later, another guest requested a mezcal drink with bitter notes but with citrus, and I decided to convert the Lipspin into a Sour especially after recalling a comment on Kindred Cocktails where someone thought the drink could use some acid. Therefore, I reduced the two liqueurs from 3/4 to 1/2 oz, and since the Lipspin is pretty well balanced as a stirred drink, I countered the lime juice with simple syrup. When I got home, I tried out the recipe for myself and dubbed this Lipspin riff after the Echo & the Bunnymen song Lips Like Sugar.

Guns of Brixton

3⁄4 oz Mezcal
3⁄4 oz Apple brandy
1 oz Bonal Gentiane Quina
1⁄4 oz Sloe gin
1⁄4 oz Cynar
Instructions

Stir with ice and strain into a cocktail coupe.

History

Two Mondays ago, I wanted to utilize my new bottle of Bonal as well explore the combination of Cynar-sloe gin that I had first learned about in the Transatlantic Giant and the Lipspin. I had previously tinkered with mezcal in this combination and knew that the spirit complemented Bonal, and I recalled that applejack worked wonderfully with sloe gin in the Persephone as well as partnering with tequila and mezcal. For a name, I was listening to a Pandora radio station, and The Clash's Guns of Brixton was playing as I was making the drink. When I realized that sloe plums are grown in Brixton, the name stuck.

Bean Country

2 oz Bourbon, Eagle Rare
1⁄4 oz Bénédictine
1⁄4 oz Coffee liqueur, Mr. Black
1 ds Bitters, Scrappy's Cardamom
1 ds Bitters, Angostura
1 twst Orange peel
Instructions

Stir, strain, and serve up with an orange peel.

Notes

A bitter start gives way to an herbal coffee sweetness with a hint of orange.

I recommend using a 90-proof bourbon, e.g. Russell's Reserve 10 year is a good substitution. Try adding an additional 1/4 oz of Mr. Black if it's not sweet enough for you; to spec, I find the drink's sweetness to be between my go-to Old Fashioned and Manhattan, which hits the spot for me.
