Amaro Daiquiri (Billy Sunday)

1 oz Braulio
1 oz Amaro, Cappelletti Sfumato Rabarbaro
1⁄2 oz Gomme syrup (or 3/4 oz 1:1 simple syrup)
3⁄4 oz Lime juice
1 sli Lime (garnish)
Instructions

Shake with ice and strain into chilled coupe. Garnish with lime wheel.

Notes

I believe their gomme syrup is 2:1 with gum arabic (I haven't been there since late last year). I've found .5 oz 1:1 simple syrup is fine for me, your mileage may vary.

Dead Man's Handle

1 1⁄2 oz Blanco tequila
3⁄4 oz Aperol
1⁄2 oz Lime juice
1⁄2 oz Orgeat
Instructions

Shake, strain into a DOF filled with crushed ice. Garnish with Taijin. (see note)

Notes

Orgeat can be increased to 3/4 oz if you need more sweetness. Taijin is a powdered mixture of chiles, lime and salt that typically goes on fruit. If you can't find it, Penzeys makes Pico Fruta which is very similar.

  • Nice and refreshing. Strawberry definitely comes through, even after only infusing for about 6 hours. I served over crushed ice with a straw which worked well. -update...it's worth letting the strawberry infuse longer... :)

El Diablo

1 oz Blanco tequila
1⁄2 oz Lime juice (from 1/2 a lime)
1⁄2 oz Cassis
4 oz Ginger ale
Instructions

In a Collins glass full of cracked ice, add the lime juice and shell, tequila and cassis. Stir. Top with ginger ale. Add a straw.

Notes

Drinking the Devil's Acre uses 2 oz blanco tequila, 1 oz lime juice (consistent with the lime juice and wedge), 3 oz ginger beer (rather than ginger ale) and 1/2 oz crème de cassis, which is floated on top.

  • Recommend 1.5 to 2.0 tequila. Perhaps only 3 oz of ginger ale. As is, lime juice is overwhelmed. Otherwise a refreshing drink
  • Works, but not that interesting to me.
  • Another variation: 2 oz Blanco tequila (look for siembra azul or ocho tequilas) 2 oz Ginger beer (fresh) 3⁄4 oz Lime juice 1⁄2 oz Simple syrup (2:1 simple syrup) 1⁄4 oz Cassis
  • Top off with 2 oz ginger beer. Serve in Collins glass. — ★★★★
  • Make it 2 oz tequila & top w ginger beer (courtesy of Trader Vic)

Curated this - I have the 1968 version of Vic's book (which has a bunch of Texas recipes weirdly enough). Other sources have the tequila at 1.5 or even 2 ounces. Thanks,  Zachary

Martinique Hundred

1 1⁄2 oz Gin, Uncle Val's Botanical
3⁄4 oz Suze
1 1⁄2 oz Pineapple juice
1⁄2 oz Lime juice
1⁄2 oz Orgeat
Instructions

Shake all ingredients vigorously over ice to build a nice aeration in the pineapple and lime juices. Pour over a single clear ice cube in a double old fashioned glass. Garnish with a cherry and pineapple fronds.

Notes

A bittersweet, refreshing original tiki variation.

History

I love the Jungle Bird more than almost any other cocktail. I stumbled upon the Bermuda Hundred (named after an area along the Virginia coast). The Jungle bird uses Rum and Campari, where the Bermuda uses Gin and Campari. I used Gin and Suze.

I did try the "fourth corner" of this variation trail using Rum and Suze, and deemed it to be the least interesting of the four possible drinks.
