  • It takes about 8 drops to make 2 dashes of the chocolate bitters.
  • Very rich, but very good. I go a little easier on the bitters. The chocolate comes through very strong. This would be fantastic after dinner with a coffee.

  • The nice thing is you can taste all the ingredients. — ★★★
  • Made with Bluecoat, Macleods Islay, Dolin. Pretty, light amber. Balanced and sophisticated, a tweaked martini, maybe more interesting than tasty.

Miles to Go Before I Sleep

1 oz Bourbon
1 oz Apple brandy
3⁄4 oz Cardamaro
1⁄8 oz Maple syrup
1⁄8 oz Herbal liqueur, Green Chartreuse
2 ds Bitters, Bittermens Xocolatl Mole
1 twst Orange peel (As garnish)
Instructions

Stir with ice, strain into a cocktail coupe, and garnish with an orange twist.

History

I was inspired by maple syrup in a stirred drink, and maple made me think of apple brandy. Apple brandy in turn reminded me of how well it paired with Cardamaro in a recent recipe. The rest fell into place to make this Manhattan/Marconi Wireless riff.

Pepper Upper

2 oz Rye, Rittenhouse
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
1⁄2 oz Simple syrup (arbol-chili-infused)
2 ds Bitters, Angostura
1 bsp Blanco tequila (as float)
1 twst Lemon peel (as garnish)
Instructions

Shake; strain; rock; garnish.

Notes

For the arbol syrup: Dissolve equal parts sugar and water on heat. Throw in a handful of arbol chilis and keep on low simmer. After ten minutes, fish out the chilis, cut them in threes, and throw them back in. After five more minutes (or whenever desired spiciness is achieved), take off heat, strain, and cool.

History

Figuring out what to do with this chili syrup, I thought I'd try a Penicillin riff.

  • Kinda just a spicy whiskey sour, but there's nothing wrong with that!
Similar cocktails

Aqua Epidemica Vondricii

1 1⁄2 oz Blended Scotch
1 oz Sweet vermouth
1⁄2 oz Herbal liqueur, Yellow Chartreuse
6 ds Bitters, Angostura
Instructions

Add all the ingredients to a mixing glass and fill with cracked ice. Stir, and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Twist a finger band-aid sized strip of lemon peel over the top and discard. Unclench.

Notes

Just about any liquor can be subbed for the Scotch and just about any liqueur can be subbed for the Chartreuse. The Angostura can be split with Peychauds. Just be sure you have sweet vermouth...
