  • I would have rated this 2 stars as written - by increasing the Suze to ~ 1/4 or 1/3 of an ounce, the drink was better.

Nude Descending a Staircase

1 1⁄2 oz Rye (Rittenhouse preferred)
3⁄4 oz Aquavit
1⁄2 oz Suze
1⁄4 oz Demerara syrup
2 ds Bitters, Bittermens Xocolatl Mole
1 twst Orange peel (As garnish)
Instructions

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

Notes

Original was 1 1/4 oz rye and no syrup, but I began making it as posted above for guests at Drink in Boston.

History

I was inspired by the combination in Amor y Amargo's Cubist (aquavit, Suze, dry vermouth, olive bitters) to extract the aquavit-Suze duo. To the aquavit, I recalled how well it paired with rye whiskey in several recipes. I considered adding an aromatized wine to the mix, but I opted to keep this in the style of an Old Fashioned for simplicity's sake. As for a name, I recalled the painting Nude Descending a Staircase as being sort of Cubist. Indeed, Marcel Duchamp's 1912 work was first labeled as Cubist before being rejected by the art movement as being too Futuristic.

  • Although I'm normally a big fan of the Xocolatl Mole bitters, not sure if they play well here. Might try Boker's next time. Aside from that, very nice!

  • Rich syrup-based orgeat makes it undrinkable to me with the stated proportions. Liked these: 30 ml Cucumber Vodka (use fresh cucumber instead if possible), 15ml Vodka, 10 ml 2:1 Syrup, 7.5 ml 2:1 Orgeat, 15 ml Lemon, 15 ml yogurt, garnish: sumac

Stranger Than Kindness

1 oz Rhum Agricole
1 oz Mezcal
1⁄2 oz Bénédictine
1⁄2 oz Apricot liqueur
2 ds Bitters, Bittermens Xocolatl Mole
Instructions

Stir with ice and strain into a rocks glass.

History

I was recently reminded of the Up Jumped the Devil and was inspired to riff on it. That drink featured the mezcal-rhum agricole combination that I was first introduced to in the Chantico and Wilhelm Scream at Craigie on Main, and I have used a few times. Instead of the Cynar-Green Chartreuse duo in the Up Jumped the Devil, I opted for the apricot-Benedictine one that I first noted in the Silk Road Sour and utilized in drinks like the Bedford Nest. For a name, I stayed with the original's Nick Cave concept and dubbed this one Stranger than Kindness.
