Meditation purpose

1 1⁄3 oz Bourbon, Maker's Mark
3⁄4 oz Dry vermouth, Noilly Prat
1⁄3 oz Apricot liqueur (Merlet lune d'abricot)
1⁄3 oz Amaro Nonino
1⁄4 oz Elisir Novasalus
Instructions

Stir, strain in coupe, express lemon Peel and drop in.
Serve.

Notes

I asked for a boulevardier or Manhattan kind.
But i insisted on something very different and experimental.

It was complex and subtle at the same time.
Not strong alcool forward.

Bourbon showed only at the end.
At the same time, the drink was dry, a bit bitter, with crisp and not sweet.
Just the subtle sweetness needed.

I thought he splitted the base with gin.

Delicious.

History

Christmas with my parents in Spain.
Trying "new" bars as usual.

  • Didn't have Elisir Novasalus, so subbed Braulio. Quite good! Dry with slight sweetness & tartness from the apricot liqueur (I used Stone Barn Biggs Junction Apricot, which is less sweet than average, so upped it to 0.5oz /15ml). — ★★★★

Well-crafted, almost dry. The dry bitter pine sap of the Elisir Novsalus pairs well with the sweet apricot (I used Rothman & Winter). I wasn't sure if the Noilly Extra-dry here in the U.S. would work, but it did.

Had to do some substituting (pear liqueur and amaro montenegro) but the whisky, vermouth, and novasalus carry the day. A nice variation on a dry manhattan that gets elevated to a premium flavor by the amari.

Probably one of the most interesting drinks I've come across here on Kindred, in a good way.

I only wish I had the appreciative company here to share it with, and discuss...

  • Works well with calvados instead of pear brandy
  • Note - original uses pear brandy, not liqueur; see reference when making

I'm intrigued enough to try. Question about the pear liqueur you list vs pear brandy spec on the Punch site. That'd certainly affect the sweetness, no? What did you use?

Malmsey Flip

2 oz Madeira, Blandy's Malmsey 5 Year
1⁄2 oz Maple syrup
1⁄2 oz Bitters, Angostura
1 Whole egg
Instructions

Shake once without and once with ice, strain into a large coupe glass, and garnish with freshly grated nutmeg.

Notes

Other Madeira styles will work as long as the sweetness level is adjusted for (perhaps a bsp of simple syrup for each level down). Malmsey > Bual > Verdelho > Sercial. I think Rainwater is somewhere in the middle.

History

In needing more Flip ideas for the Winter, I was inspired by Jacob Grier's PX Flip (PX sherry, Angostura, egg). Since Malmsey Madeira is not as sweet as Pedro Ximenez sherry, I took a page from Misty Kalkofen's Fort Washington Flip and sweetened things with maple syrup. While my drink was an off menu item, it did make a menu in late 2017 at the Livestock Tavern in Honolulu.
