The Stroop

3 ds Lemon bitters
1 1⁄2 oz Gin
1 1⁄2 oz Half-and-half
1 1⁄2 oz Stroopwaffel liqueur
Instructions

In a frozen coupe glass, add the 3 dashes of lemon bitters, roll it around to coat, then place the glass back into the freezer.
Add remaining ingredients into a shaker with ice. Shake vigorously, then pour into the coupe glass.

Notes

This is cocktail #1 with Stroop Waffel, I just discovered it. There will be much experimentation.

History

I found Stroop Waffel in my local Cost Plus "World Market." It appeals to my sweet tooth !! https://www.atlasobscura.com/foods/stroopwafel-liqueur

....... Please note the "reference." I don't care for vodka, so I use gin.

Little too sweet for me. Will try to reduce/remove syrop.

Count ITP

1 oz Gin
1 oz Dry vermouth
2⁄3 oz Cynar
2 t Campari
1 twst Lemon peel (as garnish)
Instructions

Stir the ingredients in an Old Fashioned glass full of ice. Garnish with a lemon twist.

History

Born to celebrate the (hypothesized) centenary of the original Negroni, but truly inspired by the Cardinal. The drink will be offered to the spectators of the "ITP for Negroni" concert by the punk band "ITP" (June 2019, in Lucca).
I take this opportunity to explain how I make the cocktails dedicated to the band: when I let them taste the musicians, for the drummer they are always all very good; the bass player always finds something wrong (and proposes unlikely variants); the guitarist always seems too sweet: so the only way is to do something bitter and ignore the bass player ...

Ducato di Benevento

1⁄4 oz Strega
2 ds Bitters, Angostura
1 sli Lemon (as garnish)
1 spg Mint (as garnish)

History

In the Middle Ages the Longbards conquered a duchy in Southern Italy, including the city of Benevento and part of the Campania coast; from the first comes the "Strega" liqueur, from the second the"Limoncello". Swedish vodka alludes to the mythical Scandinavian origins of the Longbards. And Campari ... Well Milan was an important Longobard city ...

Harpo's Special

2 oz Light rum
1⁄2 oz Lime juice
1⁄4 oz Simple syrup
1⁄4 oz Curaçao
1 ds Bitters, Angostura
1 sli Lime (as garnish)
Instructions

Shake, strain, straight up, coupe, garnish

Notes

A daiquiri, but made more citrus-y with the addition of curaçao and dried out a little by the bitters. I recommend a less sweet white rum for this, though drier aged rums like Brugal 1888 also work. Triple sec can be substituted for the curaçao.

History

Originally published in Esquire's "Potables" column in June 1939 by Murdock Pemberton. According to David Wondrich, it's likely an adaptation of the Santiago Cocktail or the Golden Glove.
