1 pn Cinnamon
1 pn Cayenne pepper
1⁄2 t Lemon zest

Notes

My friend caught a very contagious virus and needed something hot to ease the symptoms. I looked at various rum toddies and used this one as a starting point: https://www.cottercrunch.com/spiced-pineapple-rum-hot-toddy/

*this drink is NOT a cure for anything, despite the name. However, it can help relieve a lot of symptoms, although alcohol is not necessarily a good choice when seriously ill. Check with your doctor before consuming any alcoholic beverages.

Monkey Business

1 1⁄2 oz Gin
1 oz Sweet vermouth
1⁄4 oz Crème de Banane
1⁄4 oz Fernet Branca
1 twst Orange peel (As garnish)
Instructions

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

History

I was thinking about the Banana Toronto that I had at Offsuit here in Boston, and I wondered what the addition of banana liqueur would be like in one of my favorite Fernet Branca drinks – the Hanky Panky. Therefore, I decided to act on that curiosity and make one. I dubbed it after a synonym for the Hanky Panky, namely Monkey Business (despite there being a Painkiller-like drink of that name already).

(the) UNREP

1 1⁄2 oz Brandy
1 oz Crème de Violette
1 1⁄2 oz Dragonfruit
3 ds Lemon bitters
Instructions

Muddle the dragonfruit in the shaker, then add remaining ingredients, shake vigorously using ice cubes, then pour into a frozen coupe glass.

Notes

The "problem" with dragonfruit is that the juice cannot be muddled out, it remains a juicy/pulpy consistency. So I don't "strain" the shaken cocktail into the glass, rather, I "encourage" the muddled dragonfruit into the glass to keep it's flavor. Thus can the actual fruit be tasted, and the seeds, which are edible, act as something of a garnish.

History

All SWOboys enjoy a well-executed UNREP.
