Night After Dark

1 oz Fernet
1 oz Pedro Ximénez Sherry, Lustau
1 oz Virgin Islands Rum, Cruzan Blackstrap
1 Whole egg
Instructions

Dry shake, wet shake, strain into a chilled coupe.

Notes

My preference for this is the Mexican Fernet-Vallet, but Branca, Letherbee, etc. work well too. You can also swap out the PX sherry with a rich sweet vermouth such as Carpano.

Third Day on the Slopes

3⁄4 oz Gin
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
3⁄4 oz Cap Corse Blanc
3⁄4 oz Zirbenz Stone Pine Liqueur
1 t Honey syrup (1:1 with water)
1 t Sparkling water (Optional)
1 twst Lemon peel
Instructions

Shake the gin, lemon juice, Lillet, and 1:1 honey syrup with ice. Strain, twist lemon peel, top with seltzer (optional).

Notes

Very bracing without the optional ingredients - the scent of the Alps injected straight into your taste buds. With the honey and water, becomes a Stone Pine Sour.

History

Spent some time experimenting with the Corpse Reviver #2 formula, substituting liqueurs for the orange. Zirbenz has the complexity to stand up to the lemon and liquor.

  • Delicious! We subbed a lemon oleo-saccharum for the simple, served up, with grated unsweetened (bakers’) chocolate as garnish. This is going on the “Crowd Pleasers” list :) — ★★★★★
  • I didn't have cinnamon tincture so I used cardamom bitters. Delicious! It would be OK to dial the sweetness back a little.

  • The astringency from the rooibos is really nice although I couldn't really get mine red enough.

Craig E commented on 12/10/2020:

Worth noting that the source suggests an extra-long (10-12-minute) steeping of the tea.
