Play Dead

3⁄4 oz Lime juice
3⁄4 oz Añejo rum (An aged, blended, column still rum works, like Cruzan Single Barrel or Don Q añejo.)
3⁄4 oz Demerara Rum, Lemon Hart 151
1⁄2 oz Grapefruit juice
1⁄4 oz Cinnamon syrup
1⁄4 oz Falernum
1 t Grenadine
1 ds Bitters, Angostura
1 ds Absinthe
Instructions

Shake with ice and double-strain into a cocktail coupe. No garnish.

History

This is a low-octane Zombie variation, served up. It was inspired by Martin Cate’s “Undead Gentleman,” which by its ingredients is closer to a Jet Pilot, and has more volume than fits in a standard cocktail coupe. This restores the Zombie’s complexity with the addition of grenadine, and lowers the alcohol to a more typical cocktail level.

Good use of the pear, which comes through in the right amount. I did not like the contribution of the curacao as much, which gave the drink a "Smarties" taste. Overall it's an extremely fruity cocktail. Not bad, but also just forgettable.

I've always thought that the PF Curacao tasted like baby aspirin. Thanks, Zachary

Notes

The ingredients form a strange alchemy that brings out a delightful coconut/shea buttery note. Rye works well too.

DragOclive

3 T Dragonfruit
1 1⁄2 oz Gin (Pomp & Whimsy)
3⁄4 oz Junmai Sake (Soto)
3⁄4 oz Cherry Liqueur, Sangue Morlacco
1⁄2 oz Amaro (Pergote Amaro d' Erbe)
1⁄2 oz Saffron tincture (Sogol)
Instructions

1. Gently muddle the dragonfruit in the shaker.
2. Add all ingredients and shake vigorously with ice.
3. Strain into a frozen coupe glass.

Notes

1. Use lots of dragonfruit for the muddle. There is not much juice as it smooshes into a mush. So the more there is, the more flavor will get transferred during the shaking.

Rhino Boulevard

2 oz Bourbon, Old Grand Dad 100
1 oz Aperitivo (Rinomato)
1 oz Sweet vermouth, Carpano Antica Formula
1 ds Bitters, Bittercube Cherry Bark Vanilla
Instructions

Stir, strain, orange peel garnish.

Notes

Rinomato, somewhere between Campari and Aperol, recently arrive in my hometown, and I thought a Boulevardier riff would put it to good use. Chose bourbon instead of rye for the relatively more mellow Rinomato. A dash of bitters is a departure from the classic Boulevardier, but adds that extra something. Orange or whiskey barrel or black walnut are also recommended.

Mr. Swizzle

1 1⁄2 oz Demerara Rum
3⁄4 oz Coffee liqueur, Mr. Black
1⁄2 oz Falernum, Velvet Falernum
1⁄2 oz Honey syrup (2:1)
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
2 ds Orange bitters
1 sli Lemon (as garnish)
Instructions

Build in a tall glass 3/4 full of ice. Swizzle. Top with more ice as needed. Garnish.

Notes

I’ve noticed that most cocktails made with Mr. Black are evening cocktails with heavy flavors. I wanted to go the opposite route and create something refreshing and bright. The Mr. Swizzle combines the burnt sugar flavors of Demerara rum and honey with coffee. This depth is opened up by the lemon juice base and the clove spiced notes of the falernum. Enjoy a few of these at brunch time! You deserve it.
