Still not sure how I screwed up Bianco Vermouth for Cynar between the computer and the bar but this mistake is even better than the excellent original (Aloe'n and Cynical) I was trying to make. Similar concept to (but better than) the Eight States.

1 ? Maraschino cherry, Luxardo (No substitutions)

stirred commented on 4/14/2025:

Solid, though a bit sweet with the stock proportions. I would reduce the Aperol and Cynar by equal amounts. In this case, I just added more Rye, but next time would start with 1/0.5/0.5, perhaps 1/0.75/0.75 if I wanted something sweeter.

Saffron Fizz

2 1⁄4 oz Saffron Gin, Gabriel Boudier
3⁄4 oz Honey syrup (1:1, tangerine peel infused)
1 oz Lemon juice
3⁄4 oz Egg white
1⁄2 oz Cream
2 oz Soda water
Instructions

Add all the ingredients except the cream and soda water to your tin. Whip shake with 2 cubes until nearly dissolved (around a minute). Pop the tin, add the cream and some cracked ice, and vigorously shake for 15 seconds. Pop the tin, add 2 oz club soda, and strain into a Collins glass (no ice). Garnish with some microplaned tangerine or orange zest, and/or a few saffron threads if you're feeling extravagant.

Notes

For the tangerine peel infused honey syrup, I sous vide 8 oz honey (acacia or wildflower), 8 oz water and the peel of a tangerine (or half an orange) at 135 degrees for 2 hours. Given the amount of shaking in this drink, you could also just use regular honey syrup and put a few swaths of tangerine or orange peel in the tin before shaking.

Curfew

1 oz Pineapple juice
1 oz Mastika (Skinos)
1 oz Lime juice
1⁄2 oz Grappa (Nardini 60%)
1⁄2 oz Cuban rum, Havana Club 3
1⁄2 oz Beer Syrup
1⁄4 oz Yuzu juice
Instructions

Shake, strain, coupe.

Notes

Beer syrup: Lager or pils beer kind (or not...maybe ipa could be funky)+ Same part sugar. Water bath (no need to heat, just warm water). Bottle.
It's pretty stable, mine has 6 months at least.
It imparts apple kind of flavor and a bit of acidity.
High proof grappa brings white chocolate.

History

Just came back from Greek islands.
And bought first bottle of Mastika as well as metaxa 5.

The drink is tropical and very sour.
Mastika and pineapple mix well together.
Maybe Mastika could be increased by 1/4 or more.
