Stir, strain, coupe.
1/4 oz max liqueur.
I've tried the recipe with Quaglia pine liqueur: Fresh and strong pine thorn flavor.
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.
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.
This cocktail is the love child of Sam Ross' Paper plane and a New York sour
Combine Suze, yellow Chartreuse and tonic syrup over a big rock. Stir and add seltzer over top, garnishing with lemon twist.
Quick shake, strain into an ice filled DOF.
Curated this - removed a lot of copyright material. Specified pink grapefruit juice. Thanks, Zachary
It's about what you would expect. Average, but highly drinkable.
Long shake, strain into a coupe.
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
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
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.
Reduce the coke (sugar, no HFCS please!) in a pan, get to boil then reduce to simmer for 30+ mins till 1/6 volume.
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.
Shake, strain, up.
The basic idea of this came from @Drunklab - it was a way to solve two problems - that Hendrick's is delicious but difficult outside a G&T - it lacks bitter/green notes. The Italicus is delicious but needs less sugar or more punch. This now makes me think of a classic fragrance family called Fougere, which means fern-like - think citrus, lavender, tonka and oakmoss.
Perfect application for the Midsummer! Bravo
Thanks - it's just unfortunate it's hard to find white grapefruit anymore. Thanks, Zachary
Completely overpowered by the orange flower water.
Hmm... how big is your barspoon? Mine is about 1/2 teaspoon or two dashes. Thanks, Zachary
Shake, strain into cocktail glass. Garnish with a sprig of mint.
Add 1 slice cucumber and 1 sprig of dill to shaker. Muddle (but do not liquefy) with Maraschino and Falernum. Add gin, Cocchi Americano, lime juice, and 3 dashes of bitters. Add ice and shake 15 seconds. Double strain into two rocks glasses filled with ice, add one dash of bitters, and top with club soda. Garnish with remaining cucumber slice pierced with dill.
Fourth of July and we didn't have all of the ingredients for the "Dillionaire". We had more than plenty of garden fresh cucumbers and some dill, so we improvised a few of the commercially available ingredients and were delighted with the result.
Which pine liqueur did you have in mind for this drink?
