Jojiro commented on 4/12/2026:

I don't know aquavit drinks well, so I rated it a 5/5 just to match the previous ratings before me. It was tasty, balanced, but also a bit ambiguous - the Cappelletti, banana, and white wine base didn't jump out as they usually do when I see those ingredients. It reads more tropical than it tastes, landing closer to an aquavit spin on a High Five or Cosmopolitan than a tiki drink. Make of that what you will.

Mai T-Day

2 oz Rum, Doorly's XO

1⁄2 oz Curaçao, Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao
1 t Allspice Dram, St Elizabeth
1 Star anise
Instructions

Shake with a big cube and a little cube, strain over another big cube (this would also work with crushed ice probably). Garnish with star anise.

Notes

To make parsnip syrup, juice parsnips until you have a half cup of strained juice, mix with equal weight sugar and a dash of orange flower water.

You can also sub .5 of the rum for something a little more funky or bold if you feel like it.

  • Subbed cinnamon syrup with homemade ginger syrup. Great decision.
  • Subbed tiki bitters for the bittercube and some 18:21 Havana and Hide. Had to add a bit more cinnamon syrup to balance the lime.

Two O'Clock at the Metropole

1 1⁄2 oz Cognac
1 oz Dry vermouth
1⁄4 oz Pineapple syrup
1⁄4 oz Maraschino Liqueur
2 ds Peychaud's Bitters
1 twst Lemon peel (as garnish)
Instructions

Stir with ice, strain into a cocktail coupe, and garnish with a lemon twist.

History

I mashed up Harry Johnson's Saratoga with the Metropole – a Cognac Dry Manhattan with Peychaud's Bitters (David Wondrich included gum syrup to make it more agreeable to the modern palate) – first published in George Kappeler's 1895 Modern American Drinks. For a name, I dubbed this one Two O'Clock at the Metropole after a James Thurber piece about the 1912 murder of gambling den owner Herman Rosenthal at Manhattan's Hotel Metropole.
