I tried this first with your request for addressing the sweetness. I nibbled at this in two ways: I tried Coruba Jamaican rum since Smith & Cross is so sweet (I love it, but it is very sweet). I swapped the Carpano Antica out for Punt e Mes to provide more bitter character (even though the Punt e Mes might contain more actual sugar.) I targeted the same alcohol content and bourbon mashbill using the 80 proof Coruba and Wild Turkey 101 bourbon. The result was very good, semi-sweet, but with alcohol heat (79 proof before ice dilution), bitter balance, and abundant herbal and flavor notes. It didn't last long in the glass...

Strawberry Road

1 1⁄2 oz Bourbon
3⁄4 oz Campari
1⁄2 oz Dry vermouth
1 Orange peel (as garnish)
Instructions

Slice strawberry into quarters. Place in shaker. Combine liquids. Muddle. Shake until chilled. Strain into double old-fashioned glass over one large cube. Express orange zest on surface of drink. Drop zest into glass.

Notes

We used Maker’s Mark. A stronger, less sweet bourbon might be better.

History

The inspiration for this drink was the Boulevardier recipe in Brad Thomas Parsons’s AMARO.

This version seems to walk the line between a variation and a new concoction. We leave that decision to others.

  • Not bad, but a bit dry, maybe could have used some sweetness. Used Woodford Reserve.

Devil's Own Mistress

1 1⁄2 oz Overproof rum, Plantation O.F.T.D.
3⁄4 oz Sweet vermouth
1⁄4 oz Bénédictine
1⁄4 oz Fernet Branca
6 dr Absinthe
Instructions

Stir with ice and strain into an old fashioned glass with a large cube.

History

One night, I uncovered a note that I had made on my phone with a riff on the Away Colors that I had thought up. To the rum, Fernet, and banana combination, I added in Benedictine and Punt e Mes and took the rum into overdrive with Planteray's OFTD. The combination did not work as well as planned, but switching the aromatized wine to regular sweet vermouth helped a lot as did adding in a few drops of absinthe to brighten the balance. Since I was already in my phone's notepad, I went to a list of drink names that I had turned up in my reading, and I found the Devil's Own Mistress from Stephanie Schorow's The Combat Zone book that was listed as a nickname for one of the performers, Amy Walker.
