As usual, went easy on the St. Elizabeth, about 4 mL. Dirty dump works too if you don't want to rinse your blender.

History

When I attended Gary Regan's Cocktails in the Country retreat in 2015, I had my turn making drinks for everyone during the Organized Chaos session. In my 20 minute time block, I came up with 5 or 6 drinks on the spot with this one being my favorite, and it started by spying the bottle of Camus Cognac on the shelf. The direction I took was inspired by the Lucien Gaudin for I paired Campari with curaçao. In the Negroni-variation vein, I also thought of Phil Ward's 2005 Cocktails in the Country drink, the Cornwall Negroni that had Punt e Mes and bitters in the mix. For a name, I stuck with the Lucien Gaudin concept and dubbed this one after another fencer, Rene Barbier -- a Frenchman who medalled in the 1928 Olympics. I did not take down tasting notes during the melee, but I do recall Gaz commenting that "this is my sort of drink!"

Very good with high proof cognac, grand marnier and angostura.  5 stars.

Mike F commented on 1/31/2023:

Tasty! It's overall boozy, but with some lift from the curacao and enough bitterness from the Campari to balance the sweet vermouth.

flickerdart commented on 11/10/2023:

Cloyingly sweet. The Campari and lemon struggle in vain against the double whammy of curacao and sweet vermouth. If you like your Manhattan with two cherries, this might fit your palate.

yarm commented on 11/12/2023:

I could see how if you used sweet vermouth instead of Punt e Mes that it would be sweet. Otherwise, it was Gary Reagan approved and has made a bunch of folks happy with nary a complaint about sweetness. True, not as dry as the Lucien Gaudin that was the inspiration.

Shawn C commented on 11/14/2023:

The cocktail is certainly not cloying. The combination of Campari & Punt e Mes keeps the bitter profile front and center. I noted the result in the drink overall as "semi-sweet/semi-bitter" because neither dominates. I wonder if the other poster used a rather sweet triple sec/curacao rather than Pierre Ferrand, which is one of the drier offerings (although with still notable sugar, something like 180 - 200 g/liter depending on the source of the info.) Sweeter curacaos run in the 250-300+ g/liter range.

Interestingly, Punt e Mes is listed as 220 g/liter sugar while Dolin Sweet Vermouth is only 130 g/liter and Carpano Antica is similarly in the 130+ range. However, Punt e Mes has a more assertive bitter backbone and doesn't seem that sweet. For comparison, Campari is quite bitter but has 250 g/liter of sugar. As with acidity, bitterness counters sweetness, making the raw sugar content seem less than it is.

1 oz Campari

  • Split the base with bonded bourbon since I ran out of cognac; subbed Gran Classico. Very floral, some candied nuttiness (like those maple nut candies) in there, rather liked it!

Cara A commented on 10/18/2021:

I dialed back the Campari for my husband, who is not a huge fan, and amped up each vermouth a bit so that there were equal parts Campari- dry-sweet. Still a strong Campari presence, but more pleasing to my particular crowd.

Witchy Ways

2 oz Manzanilla sherry, Lustau Manzanilla (Papirusa)
3⁄4 oz Pineapple juice
1⁄2 oz Mango puree
1⁄2 oz Strega
1⁄4 oz Honey syrup (1:1)
1 spg Mint (garnish)
1 sli Pineapple (garnish)
Instructions

Shakes all ingredients (except garnishes) with ice, strain into a old fashioned glass filled with crushed ice, garnish with a mint bouquet and pineapple wedge.

Notes

For the mango puree, I used Goya frozen unsweetened mango pulp. If using a sweetened puree, omit the honey syrup.
