Rachel Wall

1⁄2 oz Campari
1⁄2 oz Strega
1 twst Orange peel (As garnish)
Instructions

Stir with ice, strain into a rocks glass, and garnish with an orange twist.

History

I was inspired by the thought of Campari paired with Strega that worked well in the Count's Swizzle and I decided to riff on it. I ended up taking a Kingston Negroni angle with it but utilized Amontillado sherry to dry out the extra sugar brought to the table by the Strega liqueur. I named it after the only woman pirate in New England and the last woman to be hanged in Boston. More information on her life in the link.

  • Made it with manzanilla, which brought a real olive brine flavor in especially on the finish. I like this as a Kingston Negroni that's a little lighter on its feet.

My first impression was a little cough syrupy in flavor. Got a little better as it went. But, I'd stick with the Kingston Negroni.

Mockingbird, Wish Me Luck

1 1⁄2 oz Rye
1⁄2 oz Aquavit
3⁄4 oz Cynar
1⁄4 oz Herbal liqueur, Green Chartreuse
1 twst Orange peel (As garnish)
Instructions

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

Notes

While the other two combinations (rye/aquavit, Cynar/Chartreuse) were what inspired this drink, it was the Chartreuse-aquavit pairing that had a beautiful synergy here.

History

I was inspired by the rye-aquavit combination found in a few drinks that I have had and decided to mash it up with the Cynar, Chartreuse, and mole bitters trio from my Up Jumped the Devil (which I believe was inspired by The Drink of Laughter and Forgetting). For a name, I dubbed this one Mockingbird, Wish Me Luck after the title of Charles Bukowski's 1972 book of poetry.

The international

1 1⁄2 oz Orgeat
3⁄4 oz Mezcal, Iba Orange
3⁄4 oz Luxardo Fernet
Instructions

Shake all vigorously, particularly if using home-made orgeat. Double strain into a chilled Nick & Nora

Notes

Velvety, bitter-sweet, earthy yet balanced and surprisingly light. Opt for a rounder and a more welcoming Fernet than the go-to Branca. Iba Orange has strong orange notes so do not substitute with just any other Mezcal.
