  • I did not like this as much as I thought I would. It reminds me of drinking strawberry jam. Not enough lime juice and the sherry really disappears. Maybe I'll try cutting the simple to 1/2 next time.

Rougarou Daiquiri

1 3⁄4 oz Añejo rum (Barbancourt 8 Year was what I used)
3⁄4 oz Cynar
1⁄2 oz Lime juice
1⁄8 oz Allspice Dram
Instructions

Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass.

History

During Tales of the Cocktail 2017, I met a New Orleans local who told me about his childhood fears of the Rougarou, a werewolf that roams the Bayou and snatches up little kids. The term is believed to have stemmed from the French word loup-garou, and the spelling and pronunciation change was probably through the Cajuns in that region. So for a drink of the day atat Loyal Nine after I got back, I tried to capture the funk of the swamp and the swamp monster itself in a glass, and I came up with a Daiquiri variation inspired in part by the Navy Dock Daiquiri and the Frequent Flier (links to those drinks in the source reference link). I was originally going to go with the Smith & Cross Rum in the Navy Dock Daiquiri, but instead I opted for the slightly funky Barbancourt 8 Year Rhum especially given the Haitian connection to mysticism.

New Dog

Instructions

Shake with ice, strain out ice, then dry shake with egg

Notes

Interesting flavor but too sweet. Sugar needs to be cut back and could also use more smoke, salt, or bitterness/herbaceousness. Perhaps different amari? USE SFUMATO RABARBARO??!

lesliec commented on 5/17/2021:

This is very nice on an early-winter evening. Two minor quibbles: it's a bit small, and I'd change how the Campari is listed. 4tsp is 20ml or 2/3oz, so possibly easier to think of it that way rather than fiddling with multiple spoonsfull.
