  • A bit too sweet, but nice flavors. Fruity nose. Tootsie Roll, cola, licorice.
  • Smooth, boozy, cola.
  • Nice balanced, delightfully boozy cocktail. Very enjoyable. Used Ararat for the cognac and Wild Turkey 101 for the rye. I was light on the orange peel, would like to have more next time. — ★★★★
  • Used Hennessy Pure White cognac and High West Double Rye. Delectable! Rate 4.5 or 5.0. Nice after dinner or late evening cocktail.

El Pepino

1⁄4 oz Bénédictine
1 ds Bitters, Scrappy's Black Lemon
1 Pickle (cornichon, as garnish)
1 twst Lemon peel (as garnish)
Instructions

Stir, strain, coupe. Swirl with garnish of speared dill/sour cornichon and lemon peel.

Notes

Because pickling ingredients vary, different cornichons will produce interestingly different results and complement different gins. I've been happiest with Hendrick's so far. A bit less complex but also good are traditional London dries.

Picnic in the South

3⁄4 oz Mezcal, Del Maguey Vida
1 oz Reposado Tequila
1 oz Aperol
3⁄4 oz Watermelon juice (see note)
1⁄2 oz Lime juice
1 t Hot sauce (Your favorite)
1 ds Peychaud's Bitters
3 sli Jalapeño (or Serrano, as garnish)
Instructions

Shake all ingredients with ice. Strain into chilled coupe. Garnish with fresh hot pepper slices.

Notes

The hot sauce is a necessary finishing touch that only occurred to me after tasting the first iteration. Use something flavorful with a hint of sweetness, rather than just a Scoville bomb.

To get watermelon juice: For just one or two drinks, scoop or spoon out chunks of watermelon into a citrus press, such as a handheld lever type, and press firmly over your jigger or a glass. You should get about as much juice per squeeze as you would from half a lime. For a larger batch of juice, blend the watermelon, and strain through a fine sieve.

History

I pretty much just threw this together out of pure curiosity, and the desire to dig into the watermelon half sitting in my fridge. The flavors evoke memories of southern barbecues - smokey grills, juicy melon and a little kick of heat. Plastic red and white gingham draped picnic table optional.

Amaro ma non troppo

1 1⁄4 oz Rhum Agricole (Père labat 55%, gold)

1⁄4 oz Sweet vermouth, Carpano Punt e Mes
1⁄4 oz Orange vermouth, Martini & Rossi Fiero
1⁄4 oz Cynar
2 dr Orange cream citrate
Instructions

Stir, strain, Old Fashioned glass.

Notes

Père labat Soleil, is a gold agricole rum, aged 6 months in barrel, still very young but very different from a white one. Very nice.
Cuban rum is added to up the proof without giving too much flavor and balance the whole thing.
