1 Orange peel (garnish)

Stir all ingredients, strain into chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass. Garnish with expressed orange swath.

One of the first cocktails I made after getting a bottle of Fernet Vallet. It's incredibly inky black color infuses every drink with a rich dark hue, hence the name (and a shout out to Alex Proyas' underrated "Dark City" flick)

My bad on the typo, I may or may not have had a few when I entered this one.

bkemp1984 commented on 8/27/2022:

This is coming from someone who is finishing off his last bottle of mezcal and not really going to buy it much in the future, but I plan to try 1 1/4 oz tequila and 3/4 oz mezcal. Still good and Fernet Vallet is great

Zachary Pearson commented on 10/04/2020:

Cleaned this up a bit - removed extraneous notes from the recipe. Clarified the instructions. In ounces, how much lemon and lime juice are you using here? 1/2 a lime and lemon is incredibly variable. Thanks,  Zachary

createurf8 commented on 10/06/2020:

Great question, thanks.  I appreciate the touch up. 

For specific measurement in regards to lemons & limes.  Here in NZ, citrus definitely tends to be much smaller!

For Lemon juice, measure 1 oz.  and lime juice, .75oz.

Cheers

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. — ★★★★★
