History

After returning home from my New York City trip, I wanted a cocktail but did not have the energy to search through a few books until I found one that fit my mood and that I had not made before. Therefore, I began scheming and made a hybrid of a Brooklyn, Creole, and 1919. My time in New York City brought me to places that looked like speakeasies or were actually illegal drinking dens during Prohibition; indeed, my final moments before leaving to the train station were spent in a bar room up service stairs through an unmarked doorway. Taking the Brooklyn aspect from my first recipe idea direction, I dubbed this one the Bedford Nest after one of that borough's most infamous speakeasies during the 1920s.

I might try subbing a little absinthe or yellow chartreuse for the dry vermouth


Queen Of Quarantine

1 oz Cognac VSOP
3⁄4 oz Brandy (Re:Find Limoncello Flavored Brandy)
1⁄2 oz Campari
1⁄2 oz Lavender syrup
Instructions

Shake all ingredients with ice, strain into a frozen coupe glass.

Notes

1. A good friend of mine (aka the Megan) is the inspiration for this cocktail.
2. As an option, I like 2 dashes of mint bitters as a substitute for the Campari.

Notes

Subbing Carpano Antica Formula Sweet Vermouth for Barolo Chinato and Lemon Peel for the Grapefruit is a great variation on this.

This is most likely the Suppressor #21, which specifies Barolo Chinato for the vermouth and a grapefruit twist instead of lemon

Modern Dumb

2 oz Kombucha
Instructions

Add ice to a mug or glass. Then add the other ingredients and stir. Adjust sweetness if necessary with simple syrup.

Notes

You can use any more or less ANY neutral flavored Kombucha. I prefer the brand Live or Element, but they may not be available in your area. If the flavor of the kombucha is too fruity or outlandish it may clash too much with the other ingredients.

Golden Crutch

1 1⁄2 oz Pisco
Instructions

Add ice to a mug or glass. Then add the other ingredients and stir. Adjust sweetness if necessary with simple syrup.

Notes

If made with red grapefruit juice it doesn’t look as “golden” but it’s still delicious. One small grapefruit yields approx 4 oz juice.

  • Recipe I saw used 0.5 oz lime and served up. Excellent
  • Great drink from Milk and Honey. Stay away if you hate the taste of licorice but to those who don't mind it, it's a great introduction to an absinthe forward cocktail.

As others have noted, there are slight differences between these measurements and the ones that were in the "Regarding Cocktails" book. 0.50 oz of lime juice and served in a coupe were the differences.
That said, this is a brilliant cocktail either way. Gimmie!
