  • Recommend as aperitif. light and refreshing. Don't skip the basil. To caramelize the apricot, dredge in powdered sugar and touch with a torch.

Dusky Sunset

1 oz Mezcal, Fidencio Clásico
1 oz Bruto Americano, St. George
1 oz Sweet vermouth, Carpano Punt e Mes
1 ds Hellfire Habanero Shrub, Bittermens
1 ds Bitters, Fee Brothers Grapefruit
1 twst Grapefruit peel
Instructions

Dealers choice: Build in the glass, or mix and strain. Serve up, or over one big rock. (I prefer the latter.)

Notes

A spin on my legendary “Smoky Sunset” (https://kindredcocktails.com/cocktail/smoky-sunset). Yeah, it’s a lazy Negroni sub. But it takes advantage of the natural affinity between Bruto & Mezcal. The Punt e Mes accentuates the bitterness - even makes it slightly astringent - and helps shape a great warm weather combo.

3⁄4 oz Framboise, Mathilde
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
1⁄2 oz Honey syrup
Instructions

Shake with ice and strain into a frozen coupe glass.

I prepare the honey syrup very very honey-y. One recipe says 3 water-to-1 honey. I prepare it much much more honey-y and sweet.

bkemp1984 commented on 4/16/2023:

Made this a few times in the year since it was posted and it's good stuff. After I made it tonight I thought I might try 1.25 tequila and .75 sotol maybe.
EDIT: Did that tonight, might be preferable to some. Used Marie Gifford for the first time ever in a drink, as I was using homemade creme de cacao. Still great. Maybe one of my top 16.5 cocktails
