Juan Madera

1 1⁄4 oz Mezcal
1 oz Sweet vermouth
1⁄2 oz Lime juice
1⁄4 oz Kummel
1 ds Bitters, Angostura
1 Cherry (As garnish)
Instructions

Shake with ice, strain into a cocktail coupe, and garnish with a cherry.

History

I became inspired by the John Wood in William Boothby's 1934 World Drinks and How to Mix Them that I had made years ago and decided to riff on it. The original was whisk(e)y and lemon, and the kümmel made me think of mezcal for the liqueur pairs rather well with agave. I also changed the citrus to lime and dubbed this one the Juan Madera.

I like the look of this, but what does it mean to stir a coffee bean? Is it muddled in the syrup first and stirred with the other ingredients?

DrunkLab commented on 8/18/2024:

Stir one unbroken, un-muddled coffee bean with the other ingredients and strain.

  • Really unique and interesting. I made my own coconut syrup with cream of coconut and shredded coconut boiled with water and found that doubling the gin with a local floral gin made it even better. — ★★★★★

Mutt City

2 oz Rye
1 oz Sweet vermouth
1⁄2 oz Crema de mezcal
1⁄4 oz Damiana Liqueur
1⁄2 oz Water (Very cold)
1 ds Orange bitters
1 ds Bitters, Angostura
2 ds Bitters, Bitter Truth Chocolate (Xocolotl mole or similar)
1 twst Lemon peel (as garnish)
Instructions

Build in chilled mixing glass. Stir to combine, and strain into chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a wide strip of lemon peel.

Notes

This may seem like a lot of bitters to dash in, but they help pick up what you lose by swapping crema de mezcal in for the Amer Picon.

History

Created for my youngest brother’s wedding, this recipe combines his love of whiskey, mezcal and Manhattans in a riff on a riff, by way of the Creole cocktail.

The Freshmaker

1 1⁄2 oz Pineapple rum, Plantation Stiggins' Fancy
1 oz Pineapple juice (acid corrected, see note)
3⁄4 oz Crème de Menthe, Giffard
1⁄2 oz Pear eau de vie (unaged)
Instructions

Shake and double strain into a chilled coupe.

Notes

Take 1.5 ounces of pineapple juice and add 1/4 tsp citric acid. Shake to dissolve. Yes I know you're only going to use 1 oz of this but it makes the math work.

History

This is literally pear/pineapple baby food crossed with an idea to sprinkle creme de menthe on pineapple sherbet out of a Louisiana Cookery book published back in the 40's that among other things, had recipes for porpoise (considered eating high on the hog) and owls.
