I recalled my Mount Pelee that was inspired by John Gertsen's Rhum Agricot and Martin Cate's Abricot Vieux and wondered how I could riff on it. Originally, my mind went to Campari that worked well with apricot before, but then I recalled the apricot-Strega duo that succeeded in another drink (see blog post for details). I kept the Fino sherry instead of dry vermouth idea from the Campari drink that I had sketched out, and I complemented the Strega with aromatic bitters. I named this after an 1887 painting by Paul Gauguin that he did on the island of Martinique.

After thinking about the Creole Cocktail, I was wondering if I could take the Picon-Benedictine duo out of it and bring things in a dry vermouth direction akin to the Georgetown Club that Charles H. Baker Jr. wrote about (those liqueurs to replace the falernum and with a different rum type). For a name, I dubbed this Creole meets a Martinique Martini the Patois which is "Antillean Creole spoken in Martinique with elements of Carib, English, and African languages."
Stir all ingredients, strain into a chilled Nick & Nora glass. No garnish.
Cacao Nib Infused Campari: add 2 tbsp cacao nibs to a 750ml bottle of Campari, infuse for an hour, strain and rebottle.
The recipe in the The Dead Rabbit: Mixology & Mayhem book has just regular Campari. I made it since it was one of the few recipes in the book that didn't require an infusion or other difficult ingredient. I know with regular Campari, it was an unbalanced sugar bomb especially when it warmed up a bit. I had to force myself to finish it, but I could see it being a good pairing with dessert.
Stir. Strain to lowball with big ice. Orange peel as garnish
