I had a version of this drink at Nomad; there it was a "Porch Punch" and topped with soda, served on ice in a highball glass. I wanted to try to recreate it as an up drink without soda.

  • I've never understood the logic behind muddling when you're about to shake. It's a delicious drink, even with just sticking the leaves in the mix and shaking.

Prelude to a Broken Arm

1 oz Cognac
1⁄2 oz Rhum Agricole (I used a blanc, but an aged would work here too)
1⁄2 oz Curaçao
1⁄2 oz Cynar
1⁄2 oz Lemon juice
1 part Sugar (For glass rimming)
1 twst Lemon peel (As garnish)
Instructions

Shake with ice, strain into a sugar-rimmed coupe, and garnish with a lemon twist.

History

After writing about the Undertaker on my CocktailVirgin blog, it reminded me of the curaçao-Cynar combination. That got me thinking of the Hugo Ball from 2009 that perhaps introduced me to the combination. For a direction, I opted for a Sidecar styling with some rhum agricole to keep things French and a little bit weird. Since Hugo Ball was a member of the Dada art scene, I made this a tribute to a Marcel Duchamp piece that is merely a snow shovel signed and dated by the artist; it was part of his "ready-made" series of manufactured goods that were "elevated to the dignity of a work of art by the mere choice of an artist."
