Count ITP

1 oz Gin
1 oz Dry vermouth
2⁄3 oz Cynar
2 t Campari
1 twst Lemon peel (as garnish)
Instructions

Stir the ingredients in an Old Fashioned glass full of ice. Garnish with a lemon twist.

History

Born to celebrate the (hypothesized) centenary of the original Negroni, but truly inspired by the Cardinal. The drink will be offered to the spectators of the "ITP for Negroni" concert by the punk band "ITP" (June 2019, in Lucca).
I take this opportunity to explain how I make the cocktails dedicated to the band: when I let them taste the musicians, for the drummer they are always all very good; the bass player always finds something wrong (and proposes unlikely variants); the guitarist always seems too sweet: so the only way is to do something bitter and ignore the bass player ...

History

In the Middle Ages the Longbards conquered a duchy in Southern Italy, including the city of Benevento and part of the Campania coast; from the first comes the "Strega" liqueur, from the second the"Limoncello". Swedish vodka alludes to the mythical Scandinavian origins of the Longbards. And Campari ... Well Milan was an important Longobard city ...

Harpo's Special

2 oz Light rum
1⁄2 oz Lime juice
1⁄4 oz Simple syrup
1⁄4 oz Curaçao
1 ds Bitters, Angostura
1 sli Lime (as garnish)
Instructions

Shake, strain, straight up, coupe, garnish

Notes

A daiquiri, but made more citrus-y with the addition of curaçao and dried out a little by the bitters. I recommend a less sweet white rum for this, though drier aged rums like Brugal 1888 also work. Triple sec can be substituted for the curaçao.

History

Originally published in Esquire's "Potables" column in June 1939 by Murdock Pemberton. According to David Wondrich, it's likely an adaptation of the Santiago Cocktail or the Golden Glove.

Goodnight Reunion

1 1⁄4 oz Bourbon (Charles Goodnight)
1 1⁄4 oz Mezcal, Del Maguey
1⁄2 oz Coffee syrup (Coffee-Pecan Syrup)
2 ds Bitters, Fee Brothers Black Walnut
Instructions

Stir with ice and strain into an old fashioned glass over one large rock.

For the coffee-pecan simple syrup: heat 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup white sugar, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup brewed coffee, and 1/2 cup roasted pecans until the sugar dissolves. Simmer for 15 minutes, then strain and store in the fridge.

Notes

Charles Goodnight bourbon is 100 proof and not very sweet (almost more like a rye). If you're not able to find that particular bourbon, substituting rye is recommended to avoid an overly-sweet drink.

History

A tribute to someone I was lucky to know. Originally from Goodnight, Texas, he loved coffee, always saw the best in people, and took great delight in organizing an annual reunion in his hometown.

  • Sweet of course but the idea is that the bitter counters it. Bittersweet like an amaro but not so heavy.
