Indian Summer (Dutch Kills)

1 1⁄2 oz Cognac
1⁄2 oz Mezcal
1⁄4 oz Allspice Dram
1 bsp Agave syrup
1 Orange peel
Instructions

Stir, strain into old fashioned glass with a large cube or sphere. Garnish with an expressed orange swath.

Notes

Ingredient brands were not specified in the app, and I couldn't find another reference to this cocktail online. I tried this with The Bitter Truth allspice dram, which has a much stronger allspice flavor than either St. Elizebeth's or Hamilton's, and thought it was bordering on too much allspice. So maybe go with either of those two brands (or reduce The Bitter Truth to say a barspoon).

  • I really like this one, it's just missing something to make it a 5*. Maybe it's that the (kind of expensive) whisky got a little lost. Still, excellent drink.

mako commented on 10/26/2020:

Still not sure how I screwed up Bianco Vermouth for Cynar between the computer and the bar but this mistake is even better than the excellent original (Aloe'n and Cynical) I was trying to make. Similar concept to (but better than) the Eight States.

  • Used Four Roses small batch and Tres Agaves agave. Well balanced and tasty.
  • Refreshing
  • The Greenwich Sour goes uptown to The Manhattan. Deceivingly nostalgic, but surprisingly contemporary. — ★★★★★
