  • Balance is very dependent on sweetness of the grapefruit juice. Vary lime or s.s. accordingly. Not complex, but high five worthy. — ★★★
  • It's like Christmas in Kentucky with Gin, which is good, but I like the bourbon better.

BomBrambulation

1 1⁄2 oz Gin, Bombay (Bombay Bramble Gin)
3⁄4 oz Dry sherry (Dry Sack medium dry)
1⁄2 oz Dry sake
1⁄2 oz Blue Curaçao
1⁄2 oz Pomegranate Liqueur (Stirrings)
1 oz Grapefruit juice
Instructions

Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into a frozen coupe glass.

Notes

1. The sake really smooths this out. 2. On a side note for fun: use a colorless Gin. Then the mixing of the blue curacao color and the red pomegranate color results in the cocktail being an "alien" looking green color, a neat effect when pouring.

History

My ongoing experimentations with Bombay Bramble.

  • Sweetish, as you would expect, but nice complex flavor with the two amaro and well balanced particularly once it has a little more dilution time.

Some sites have this as 1/4 lemon. Anyone have their copy of his book handy to check? Thanks,  Zachary

It is not featured in the Regarding Cocktails book. Not in the Bartenders Choice apps either...

We gave it a 4.5. Made with Portland Syrups grapefruit tonic syrup at 50% of the juice measure.

Orchard Street

2 oz Apple brandy, Lairds Bonded (Calvados would work too)
1⁄2 oz Sweet vermouth, Carpano Punt e Mes
1⁄2 oz Amaro Nardini
1⁄4 oz Oloroso sherry (Or Amontillado)
1 twst Lemon peel (As garnish)
Instructions

Stir with ice, strain into a coupe glass, and garnish with a lemon twist.

History

After having Death & Co. Denver's Five Points, I began to think about its similarities to the Carroll Gardens -- both maintained the combination of Punt e Mes and Amaro Nardini but had different base spirits and nutty accents. To make my own riff, I swapped the spirit to aged apple brandy, and for a nutty ingredient instead of Maraschino or walnut liqueur, I opted for an oxidized dry sherry. As I learned from the It's a Long, Long Way at Wit's End, a little bit of that sort of sherry goes quite a ways. The apple element made me think of Orchard Street in the Lower East Side in Manhattan that is less than a mile away from the Five Points neighborhood.
