Billy Sunday Old Fashioned

2 oz Bourbon, Kentucky XO (or Johnny Drum or Rowan's Creek)
1⁄2 oz Zucca
1 Sugar cube
1 Orange peel
Instructions

Muddle sugar cube and Zucca with a splash of water until dissolved. Add bourbon and ice, stir, strain into old fashioned glass with large cube. Garnish with expressed orange swath.

Notes

I just use .25 oz cane syrup in place of the muddled sugar cube + water.

When I've made this at home, I've used Brooklyn Hemispherical Charred Pineapple Bitters (no longer available as far as I know). There are some recipes online for pineapple bitters, or you could infuse fresh pineapple into some tiki or aromatic bitters.

  • I used 1oz of Plantation OP and 1/2 oz of Killik silver OP. Very nice. More Ango bitters as a float didnt hurt at all.

applejack commented on 1/03/2021:

Hadn't made one of these in awhile and kinda forgot what it tasted like, so I just mixed one up.  Surprisingly it wasn't as bitter as I would have thought, and not at all overpowering.  I actually found it a bit sweet with 1/2 oz 1:1 syrup, I'd probably go with either 1/3 oz 1:1 syrup or 1/4 oz 2:1 rich syrup.  But if you want those classic Ango flavors in a stirred drink, it's a good way to go.  Might also be interesting to try with Smith & Cross / Rum Fire / Stolen Overproof or an Appleton / overproof split for the rum base.

applejack commented on 8/28/2020:

I was going to give this a shot, but I wanted to confirm it's lime juice in the build and a lemon garnish?  That's a bit unusual (no pun intended).  And does "Mezcal (Verde)" refer to the Mezcal Verde Momento brand (mad props for their label game)?

Zachary Pearson commented on 8/28/2020:

If I had to guess, it means green like "green cowhand" - unaged. Thanks,  Zachary

Pangolindo commented on 8/29/2020:

Yes, it's verde/Momento mezcal. Not too smoky...

I've tried both, even without peel. Just a preference.

You should try first a sip without.

Pangolindo commented on 9/01/2020:

I've just edited the recipe, ratio for rye was 1/5 but it's not.

Just modified to 1/3 but i do not remember right now the exact ratio.

Seems too short for the amount of liqueurs.

I am going to check...

 

Long List Split

1 1⁄2 oz Gin, Tanqueray
3⁄4 oz Mezcal (Verde)
1⁄4 oz Elderflower liqueur, St. Germain
1⁄4 oz Galliano
1⁄4 oz Suze
1⁄4 oz Pine liqueur (Quaglia)
1⁄4 oz Herbal liqueur (Homemade - see note)
2 ds Bitters, Angostura Orange
Instructions

Stir with ice, strain in rock glass with a big ice cube. Serve.

Notes

Short on the 1/4....

Homemade herbal liqueur comes from imbibe. Recipe at https://imbibemagazine.com/recipe/diy-herbal-liqueur/

Did not have fresh oregano.
I Added to steep after bottling, fennel seeds, cardamom pods, cinamon a long time.
Very fresh at the begining, turns out to be more herbal/amaro kind at last without bitterness.

I think, averna mixed with yellow chartreuse+ cinamon steep or grated or syrup (a pinch) would work.
