  • Needs to be a little sweeter
  • Made with Glenlivet Caribbean Reserve, Botanist Gin & Cocchi di Torino. Really interesting how the barley notes from the scotch get tamed into breakfast cereal territory.

Last Bird

3⁄4 oz Jamaican rum, Smith & Cross (Works best with Smith & Cross IMO)
3⁄4 oz Campari
3⁄4 oz Pineapple juice
1⁄2 oz Lime juice
1⁄4 oz Herbal liqueur, Green Chartreuse
Instructions

Shake, strain into Nick & Nora or Coupe. No garnish.

Notes

Rum-Pineapple-Campari Tiki Jungle Bird magic meets the citric sharpness of the Last Word.

History

A Jungle Bird riff on the Last Word seemed pretty obvious to me, but Googling didn't turn up any recipes that were that faithful to either. I played with the ratios of Lime / Pineapple / Chartreuse until it felt balanced and truthful to both drinks.

Mood Adjuster

2 oz Dark rum (e.g. Pusser's Gunpowder Proof)
1 1⁄2 t Palm sugar (see notes)
1⁄2 Lime
Instructions

Halve lime pole to pole, cut off ends, then slice into 4 or 8 segments, as per Caipirinha. Muddle lime and sugar in old-fashioned glass vigorously, to combine and release flavours from zest. Stir in rum and cracked ice.

Notes

A very good alternative is to use Plantation Fiji.

The key to this drink is the palm sugar. Look for the rich, fudge-like, more expensive stuff in a pot with a lid in Thai or oriental food stores. I prefer the Maesri brand. With larger or more bitter limes, 2 or 3 tsp sugar may be needed.

I use a Tap-icer for the cracked ice; crushed ice tends to wash out drink.

History

A Caipirinha-style navy grog.

  • Used 1 oz Old Tom gin. Had no Rosemary, but still a great cocktail. What do others think about the drink without the Rosemary? Is it essential for the taste? Rate 4

HotClive

1 1⁄2 oz Whiskey (Moonshine)
1 oz Ancho Reyes chile liqueur
3⁄4 oz Prickly pear liqueur (Priqly)
1⁄8 oz Sherry vinegar (Columela Sherry Vinegar Solera 30)
4 ds Cranberry bitters
1 Egg white
Instructions

Shake all ingredients very vigorously with ice then strain into a frozen coupe glass.

Notes

The sherry vinegar. I found this particular "high performance" version a few years ago and it really makes a difference. You don't want "vinegar." Rather, you want a very flavorful Sherry Vinegar.

History

In memory of a Naval Academy graduate.
