I made this with a sprig of thyme, a sprig of dill, and half a leaf of lemon balm. Used Bols Genever, and 0.25 oz 2:1 simple

Martinique Hundred

1 1⁄2 oz Gin, Uncle Val's Botanical
3⁄4 oz Suze
1 1⁄2 oz Pineapple juice
1⁄2 oz Lime juice
1⁄2 oz Orgeat
Instructions

Shake all ingredients vigorously over ice to build a nice aeration in the pineapple and lime juices. Pour over a single clear ice cube in a double old fashioned glass. Garnish with a cherry and pineapple fronds.

Notes

A bittersweet, refreshing original tiki variation.

History

I love the Jungle Bird more than almost any other cocktail. I stumbled upon the Bermuda Hundred (named after an area along the Virginia coast). The Jungle bird uses Rum and Campari, where the Bermuda uses Gin and Campari. I used Gin and Suze.

I did try the "fourth corner" of this variation trail using Rum and Suze, and deemed it to be the least interesting of the four possible drinks.

Great cocktail - refreshing, and a lovely balance of sweet and bitter. Added some ango which worked well.

Which pine liqueur did you have in mind for this drink?

 

Pangolindo commented on 7/12/2020:

I've tried the recipe with Quaglia pine liqueur: Fresh and strong pine thorn flavor.

Fly-By-Knight

1⁄2 Egg white
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
3⁄4 oz Bourbon, Buffalo Trace
3⁄4 oz Amaro Nonino
3⁄4 oz Aperol
1 oz Red wine (As float, see instructions and note)
Instructions

Pre-chill a coupe. Dry shake everything but the float then wet shake and strain into the coupe. Allow the foam to settle and cloudiness to subside. Now the tricky part, take a bar spoon and near the edge of the glass gently submerge the head of the spoon, just below the foam, then very carefully and slowly using the spiral of the bar spoon pour your wine float down beneath the foam, if you do this correctly you'll see a red layer forming between the drink and foam. When you've finished your float, carefully pull out your barspoon, wipe down the head of the spoon with a bar towel and use the curved side to smooth over the foam and hide your float pour entry point.

Notes

Pouring the wine float will take some practice, so don't be disheartened if you don't crack it first time. For the wine, I used 2015 Banfi Brunello, but any rich Tuscan red will work.

The Glorious Fourth

2 oz Brandy
1⁄2 oz Lime juice (Juice of one lime)
4 ds Simple syrup (Gum Syrup)
1 ds Jamaican rum
3⁄4 oz Vanilla ice cream (Calls for 1 scoop, feel free to estimate here)
Instructions

Long shake, strain into a coupe.

Notes

I used - 1/4-1/2 oz of Gum Syrup, and 1/8 oz Jamaican Rum and it was very tasty, maybe increase the Jamaican rum a bit. This cocktail is wild the lime and Ice cream seem like such an odd pairing but it's similar to an orange creamsicle with a good dose of Brandy holds it altogether similar to Benedictine's role in most of it's cocktails.

Curated this slightly - limes were a lot smaller back then, so I dropped the lime to 1/2 oz from 1. Added a link to the EUVS copy of the book. Thanks,  Zachary

Thanks Zach for the link and curation!

No problem... that site is a treasury for cocktail geeks. It should be bookmarked by anyone who is even remotely serious about cocktails. Thanks,  Zachary

hypoxic_ commented on 9/25/2022:

Used 1.5 oz of ice cream and the more generous 1/4 oz of demerara syrup

Would recommend a preliminary shake/strain with ice or chilling all the ingredients beforehand as the ice cream really doesn't chill things down. A quick pulse blending also helps to make a more homogeneous drink .

Overall the lime/cream mix works really well with brandy! Swapping the proportions for rum/brandy also probably would be really good as well

Amaro Paisano

2 oz Bourbon
1 oz Simple syrup (Coca Cola syrup, see note)
1 oz Campari
1⁄2 oz Amaro Nonino
2 ds Bitters, Angostura Orange
1 twst Orange peel
Instructions

Wet shake all ingredients for 12-15 sec, pour over a large cube of ice in a double old fashioned glass. Initially when poured will appear murky/muddy, allow to settle till obsidian and garnish with orange twist, ensuring to express oils.

Notes

Reduce the coke (sugar, no HFCS please!) in a pan, get to boil then reduce to simmer for 30+ mins till 1/6 volume.

History

Based on an the Italian American, substituting Maple syrup for Coca cola reduction, lemon juice for orange bitters, lemon twist for orange twist and Amaro, Nonino for Montenegro.
