Clarified Wythe Russian

1 dr Orange flower water
3 dr Coffee liqueur, Mr. Black (see note)
3 dr Chocolate bitters, Bittermens Xocolatl Mole (see note)
1 1⁄4 oz Vodka (optional: coconut oil-washed)
1⁄4 oz Rum, Flor de Caña Extra Dry
3⁄4 oz Honey Liqueur (see note)
1⁄4 oz Bénédictine
1 ds Cane syrup (for texture)
1 twst Lemon peel (expressed and discarded)
Instructions

Stir (or batch ahead of time and pour, with about 1 oz of batched dilution per drink), serve on ice, express and discard twist.

Notes

1. Mods, can we create a cream liqueur category, and list Wild-Arbor Clear as an example?

2. We combine equal parts of the coffee liqueur and the Bittermens bitters into a house "coffee-mole bitters" for this drink. We then put this in an atomizer and spray it over the surface of the drink for added coffee aroma.

History

I've enjoyed serving clarified White Russians (and Pina Coladas, etc) using milk clarification in various programs. The Wild-Arbor is fun because it saves the step while tasting creamy/chocolate-y on its own. (While dairy-free, it's not vegan--honey is the sweetener, as it is for Benedictine.) This version's easy to build a la minute or batch ahead of time.

Notes

The drink is built around St. George Terroir's affinity for yellow Chartreuse, and that gin isn't really substitutable here--it tastes like an enchanted forest.

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.

  • Subbed cinnamon syrup with homemade ginger syrup. Great decision.
  • Subbed tiki bitters for the bittercube and some 18:21 Havana and Hide. Had to add a bit more cinnamon syrup to balance the lime.
