Accidentally made it with more Ramazzotti than intended...preferred that to the recipe as printed.

Did you just do 1oz or did you add more? I worry it would bury the poblano.

Creole Poet

1 1⁄2 oz Gin
1 oz Dry vermouth
1⁄4 oz Bénédictine
1⁄4 oz Amer Picon
2 ds Orange bitters
1 twst Lemon peel (As garnish)
Instructions

Stir with ice, strain into a cocktail glass, and garnish with a lemon twist.

History

Inspired by an obscure recipe for a Brooklyn made with gin, I began thinking about the structure. I selected the Poet's Dream as a Martini riff starting place and merged the modifying liqueurs with the Creole Cocktail with its Picon and Benedictine. For a name, I kept it simple with the Creole Poet.

Go heavy on the basil and light on the tonic. Even better with a splash of aperol on top. Very refreshing!

Pangolindo,

Amargo-Vallet is a Mexican angostura bark bitter liqueur flavored with additional herbs/spices (cassia, clove, etc.) and macerated in cherries.  I haven't tried it, but for this drink, I'd suggest maybe trying 1 oz Angostura bitters and a quarter ounce each of Cherry Heering and allspice dram (the drier Bitter Truth is probably a better option than the much sweeter St. Elizabeth).

Dollar Dollar Bills

2 oz Añejo rum
3⁄4 oz Amargo-Vallet
1⁄4 oz Coconut syrup
1 Orange peel (as garnish)
Instructions

Stir, strain into old fashioned glass with a large cube or sphere. Garnish with an expressed orange swath.

Notes

Ingredient brands were not specified in the app, and I couldn't find another reference to this cocktail online.

Drinking this now with Pikesville Rye (Heaven Hill, 6 yrs, low rye, 110 proof). I'm happy with this - minty/medicinal but lovely texture and balance and it's nice how the CAF + low rye rye tugs against the Fernet. And it's small enough to be a perfect digestive. Thanks,  Zachary
