Mockingbird, Wish Me Luck

1 1⁄2 oz Rye
1⁄2 oz Aquavit
3⁄4 oz Cynar
1⁄4 oz Herbal liqueur, Green Chartreuse
2 ds Bitters, Bittermens Xocolatl Mole
1 twst Orange peel (As garnish)
Instructions

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

Notes

While the other two combinations (rye/aquavit, Cynar/Chartreuse) were what inspired this drink, it was the Chartreuse-aquavit pairing that had a beautiful synergy here.

History

I was inspired by the rye-aquavit combination found in a few drinks that I have had and decided to mash it up with the Cynar, Chartreuse, and mole bitters trio from my Up Jumped the Devil (which I believe was inspired by The Drink of Laughter and Forgetting). For a name, I dubbed this one Mockingbird, Wish Me Luck after the title of Charles Bukowski's 1972 book of poetry.

The international

1 1⁄2 oz Orgeat
1 oz Lime juice
3⁄4 oz Mezcal, Iba Orange
3⁄4 oz Luxardo Fernet
2 ds Bitters, Angostura Orange
Instructions

Shake all vigorously, particularly if using home-made orgeat. Double strain into a chilled Nick & Nora

Notes

Velvety, bitter-sweet, earthy yet balanced and surprisingly light. Opt for a rounder and a more welcoming Fernet than the go-to Branca. Iba Orange has strong orange notes so do not substitute with just any other Mezcal.

This seems pretty similar to the Applejack Rabbit, circa 1930s. I believe it was included on one of PDT's early fall menus (which is where I first had it).

Instructions

1. Put a splash of absinthe into a coupe glass, coat the inside of the glass, then coat the rim, then dip the rim into pomegranate sugar, then place the glass into the freezer.
2. Add ingredients into a shaker with ice, shake very vigorously, and strain into the frozen coupe glass.

Notes

1. Olive Juice Brine: I use the brine in a bottle of Mediterranean olives ..... very flavorful.
