Two O'Clock at the Metropole

1 1⁄2 oz Cognac
1 oz Dry vermouth
1⁄4 oz Pineapple syrup
1⁄4 oz Maraschino Liqueur
2 ds Peychaud's Bitters
1 twst Lemon peel (as garnish)

History

I mashed up Harry Johnson's Saratoga with the Metropole – a Cognac Dry Manhattan with Peychaud's Bitters (David Wondrich included gum syrup to make it more agreeable to the modern palate) – first published in George Kappeler's 1895 Modern American Drinks. For a name, I dubbed this one Two O'Clock at the Metropole after a James Thurber piece about the 1912 murder of gambling den owner Herman Rosenthal at Manhattan's Hotel Metropole.

  • Interesting spicy burnt caramel flavor. Works better with 1 1/2 rum and 1/2 Ancho Reyes as suggested.

LemonMelon commented on 10/25/2022:

Delicious devilish daiquiri. I decreased the ancho and increased the rum.

La Savane

3⁄4 oz Rhum Agricole
3⁄4 oz Mezcal
1 oz Aromatized wine, Cocchi Americano (Or Lillet Blanc)
1⁄2 oz Swedish Punsch
2 ds Orange bitters
1 twst Orange peel (As garnish)
Instructions

Stir with ice, strain into a cocktail coupe, and garnish with an orange twist.

History

When I recently recalled the Metexa, a delighful aperitif of Lillet, tequila, and Swedish punsch from the 1937 Café Royal Cocktail Book, I decided to riff on it. Instead of the classic's tequila base, I kept the agave theme with some mezcal and split it with rhum agricole for that spirit paired well with Swedish punsch in the Sleeping with Strangers. I also adjusted the ratios to make it more of a cocktail instead of an aperitif. For a name, I dubbed this one the La Savane after a garden and park on Martinique.
