Gato Negro Instantáneo

1 oz Mezcal (Joven, coffee infused - see notes)
1⁄2 oz Amaro Lucano
1⁄2 oz Chocolate liqueur (Trader Vic's)
Instructions

Combine ingredients with ice, strain, and serve up in a cocktail glass.

Notes

Get a coffee filter with a teaspoon of medium or dark roast coffee. Pour the mezcal through the filter and wait for the liquid to filter through. This should take a minute or two.

History

Based on this by Mike Melazzo, but added the instant/filter aspect. No need to wait a few hours.

Golden Slipper

1 1⁄2 oz Kirschwasser
3⁄4 oz Herbal liqueur, Yellow Chartreuse
1 Egg yolk
Instructions

Shake; strain; up.

Notes

Lovely opaque sunshine yellow color.

History

Lots of differing recipes (some involving apricots) exist for this drink. I wasn't sure if Lawlor intended me to leave the egg yolk intact in the drink (as some other recipes specify), but anyway I chickened out and shook the whole thing.

  • Maybe better than I expected though it should be noted I had very low expectations. Fans of Kirschwasser might dig this but I'm not one.

Benson Streetcar

2 oz Cognac (Fig & Clove infused)
1⁄2 oz Orange liqueur, Grand Marnier
1 bsp Maraschino Liqueur, Luxardo
1 oz Lemon juice
1⁄2 oz Simple syrup
12 dr Orange cream citrate, Bittermens
Instructions

Combine ingredients in a shaker tin with ice. Shake and fine strain into a chilled coupe glass with a cinnamon-sugar rim.

Notes

For the Fig & Clove infused Cognac take 750ml of cognac and place in a large container with a 1/2 cup of dried figs, halved, and 3 or 4 whole cloves. Seal and put in a cool, dry place for 3 to 5 days, shaking daily. Fine strain and place in a clean bottle and keep for 2 weeks in the cooler.

I’ve found that Remy1738 works well.

History

Created at Elliott’s Oyster House circa 2012. A variation on the classic Sidecar, the Benson Streetcar was a famous streetcar that ran in Seattle.
