1⁄2 oz White port, Fonseca (Siroco)

I haven't tried this, but if you don't have the Luxardo Sour Cherry Gin, you could probably try muddling a cherry with a lighter New Western style gin (the Luxardo is only 76 proof).

Earthly Regrets

3⁄4 oz Gin, Malfy (con Limone)
3⁄4 oz Suze
3⁄4 oz Crème de Pamplemousse, Giffard
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
1 Grapefruit peel
Instructions

Shake all ingredients (including the grapefruit swath) with ice for 15 seconds, strain into a chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass. No garnish.

Notes

This is definitely for those who like (really like) the earthy bitterness of Suze. If you want something a bit less intense, do 1 oz pamplemousse and .5 oz Suze.

If you don't have Malfy con Limone, use a low proof, citrusy gin such as Plymouth, Aviation, etc.

Crack in the Earth

1 1⁄2 oz Mezcal, Sombra (Cacao Nib Infused)
1⁄2 oz Walnut Liqueur, Nux Alpina
1⁄2 oz Cynar
1⁄2 oz Ancho Reyes chile liqueur
10 dr Bitters, Bittermens Xocolatl Mole
1 Orange peel (as garnish)
Instructions

Stir, strain into old fashioned glass with a large cube or sphere or a Nick & Nora glass. Garnish with an expressed orange swath.

Notes

Cacao Nib Infused Mezcal: toast 1/2 cup of cacao nibs on a baking sheet at 350 for 6-7 minutes. Let cool, and then infuse in a 750ml bottle of mezcal (I used Sombra) for 3 days. Filter, strain and re-bottle.

History

Read somewhere that walnuts are sometimes used in mole sauce, so I wanted to work similar flavors into a cocktail.

HallA commented on 2/27/2022:

Version I found had averna rather than foro, coffee liqueur rather than coffee, and double the dashes of everything. It's pretty good, a little too much going on if you want my opinion but pleasant.
