Is there a specific reason for shaking this rather than stirring?

History

My Richard Hell and the Voidoids-inspired recipe that got me into the semi-finals for the Copper & Kings' MixTape national competition in 2016. The idea was perhaps inspired by a Champs-Élysées crossed with the Van Dieman from the Café Royal Cocktail Book.

  • Pretty tasty but the mint/celery/salt are rather subtle. Try 2 dashes, and a half rim?

Silver 75

1 1⁄2 oz Tequila, Don Julio Blanco (Any high quality silver/blanco tequila will suffice for e.g Patrón)
1 oz Agave syrup, Monin
3⁄4 oz Lime juice
8 lf Mint (8 Leafs for muddling)
2 oz Champagne (Prosecco & Cava also acceptable to taste, brand isn't important but ideally drier the better)
Instructions

Muddle mint leaves in the bottom of a shaker tin with all ingredients, except champagne. Wet shake for 15 sec. Pour the champagne into a tall collins glass half full of crushed ice from a lewis bag, then double strain your tin on top. Pack the rest of the glass with more crushed ice, garnish with mint and stirring straw.

Notes

Cocktail could also be made with reposado, dark or añejo/aged Tequila and would then be a Gold 75.

Any high quality silver/blanco tequila will suffice for e.g Patrón.

Prosecco & Cava also acceptable to taste, brand isn't important but ideally the drier the better.

Could also add a couple drops of saline (Salt water) to make the flavour profile more complex and bring out the sweet and sour notes.

Interborough

2 oz Rye
3⁄4 oz Sweet vermouth
1 bsp Pineapple Gum Syrup
1 bsp Maraschino Liqueur
1 bsp Lemon juice
1 bsp Orange juice
2 ds Orange bitters
1 twst Orange peel (expressed and discarded)
1 Maraschino cherry, Luxardo (as garnish)
Instructions

Strain lemon and orange juice. Shake everything and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Twist and discard. Garnish.

Notes

A citrusy, fruity riff on a Manhattan, the Interborough combines elements from each of the classic New York City "borough" cocktails — rye whiskey (Manhattan, Brooklyn), sweet vermouth (Manhattan, Bronx, Queens), Maraschino (Brooklyn), citrus (Bronx), pineapple (Queens, Staten Island Ferry), and orange bitters or amaro (Brooklyn, some Bronx recipes).

History

Invented by typeface designer Greg Shutters to mark the release of "LaFarge," a font inspired by the early-20th century mosaic signage in the New York City subway. "Interborough" is named partially for the Interborough Rapid Transit Company (1904-1940) — a privately-held precursor to the modern New York City Transit Authority — and partially because of its inclusion of elements from all five classic New York City "borough" cocktails.

Curated this slightly. Added the orange bitters from the instructions and cleaned the instructions up a little - they don't need to recap the ingredients. Thanks, Zachary

Hey Heywood!

3⁄4 oz Gin
3⁄4 oz Pear liqueur (Developed with St. George Spiced)
3⁄4 oz Herbal liqueur, Yellow Chartreuse
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
Instructions

Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail coupe.

History

Created as a drink of the day at Loyal Nine. I was inspired by the Hoop La cocktail which appears in the Savoy Cocktail Book under three other names including the Hey Hey and a nod to Algonquin Round Table member Frank Sullivan. To mimic the brandy base in the Hoop La, I utilized St. George's Spiced Pear Liqueur and opted for a more herbal base spirit of gin. I had tested the recipe out the week before with a regular as a 3:1:1:1 recipe, and he thought it was a bit thin but delicious. He reordered it as an equal parts number and rather enjoyed it. For a name, I stuck with the Hoop La theme and combined the Hey Hey with another Algonquin Round Table member, Heywood Broun, to form the Hey Heywood!
