Floral bitterness

1 1⁄2 oz Gin, G'Vine Floraison
3⁄4 oz Suze
3⁄4 oz Sweet vermouth, Carpano Punt e Mes
1⁄4 oz Peach liqueur
1 ds Bitters, Angostura
Instructions

Old fashioned glass, long stir, serve.

Notes

My peach liquor is an attempt of freeze distilling.
I 've bought a cheap white wine peach liquor and projected to concentrate it.

In the freezer: the water from the liquor make the stuff freeze. Then upside down the bottle to collect the concentrate. Once the ice seems to melt to much stop the process. Refreeze the concentrate and repeat till it's not freezing anymore.
Ready!

I did not wait till the mixture stop freezing. I 've indergone the process 4 to 5 times.

You are loosing a lot of volume for sure.

Make sure to be careful with this method depending on which product you use to concentrate since everything gets concentrated even toxic parts...

Peruvian Necktie

1 1⁄2 oz Pisco
1⁄2 oz Bénédictine
1⁄2 oz Apricot liqueur
1⁄2 oz Lime juice
10 dr Absinthe (A dash or two will work)
1 twst Orange peel (As garnish -- long, thin, and tied in a knot)
Instructions

Shake with ice, strain into a coupe, and garnish with a knotted orange twist.

History

For a drink of the day Loyal Nine, I was inspired by the name of choke hold in submission grappling called the Peruvian Necktie. Clearly, the spirit had to be pisco, and I decided to go the Benedictine-apricot liqueur direction after having experienced a few drinks with it. Here, the sweetness was countered by lime juice, and the herbal notes were brightened by a light touch of absinthe since Angostura took the drink in a very dark direction. To tie it back to the name, I garnished with a knotted long orange twist.

The Goblins Turn to Stone

1 1⁄2 oz Genever
3⁄4 oz Cardamaro
1⁄2 oz Cynar
1⁄4 oz Curaçao
1 twst Orange peel
Instructions

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

History

I was inspired by the Cynar-curaçao combination, and I thought about how well Genever works with each. Thus, I selected it as a base spirit, and for a fourth component, I opted for Cardamaro which has melded well with Genever before. For a name, I selected the Goblins Turned to Stone from a collection of Dutch fairy tales.

Canongate

1 1⁄2 oz Scotch
1 1⁄2 oz Aperol
1⁄2 oz Sweet vermouth, Carpano Punt e Mes
1⁄2 oz Walnut Liqueur
1 Cherry (As garnish)
Instructions

Stir with ice, strain into a cocktail glass, and garnish with a cherry.

History

After moving a book on my desk and uncovering a note highlighting the interactions of Aperol, walnut liqueur, and Cynar, I began to think about directions to take some of those ingredients. The duo of Aperol and walnut has worked great together several times before, and that got me thinking to one of my favorite nutty-Aperol combinations in the Prospect Park with Maraschino as the nutty component. Therefore, I made my riff subbing in walnut liqueur for the Maraschino and swapping the spirit to Scotch to complement the walnut element. For a name, I dubbed this one after a historic neighborhood in Edinburgh, Scotland.

  • Originally used Orgeat, but it's not necessary. There's enough flavor in the cocktail, esp. with the Cynar. It's a simple mix of sweet/sour.
