  • Great last word riff, although a bit of a stretch. Amaro Montenegro pairs nicely with the barenjager and chartreuse.

  • Made with Pussers and CioCiaro. Likable, quite like the prototype but a touch more complex. I think I like the orange of CioCiaro more than I would have the smoke of Sfumato.

Just got my first bottle of CioCiaro, so will give that a try too!


Mayan Mountain Mystic

1 oz Mezcal
3⁄4 oz Byrrh
1⁄4 oz Bénédictine
1 twst Orange peel (As garnish)
Instructions

Stir with ice, strain into a rocks glass with a large ice cube, and garnish with an orange twist.

History

When I saw a reference to Paul McGee's Rum River Mystic, I remembered how much I enjoyed it and wondered if I could make a riff on it. Since I had been inspired by the mezcal-Fino sherry duo, I swapped them in for the original's rye and rum (or two rums depending on the recipe). Trying to keep the alliteration and location themes going, I dubbed this one the Mayan Mountain Mystic.

Tomb of the Caribs

1 1⁄2 oz Rhum Agricole (JM Blanc was what I used; a lightly aged agricole would work well too.)
1⁄2 oz Cynar
1⁄2 oz Honey syrup (1:1)
1⁄2 oz Lime juice
1 sli Lime (Lime wheel as garnish)
Instructions

Build in a double Old Fashioned glass, add ice, stir, and garnish with a lime wheel inserted along the inside of the glass.

History

The drink started by noting how well agricole and Cynar pair, and then adding in honey to complement the Cynar. The lime juice is meant to cut the sweetness but keep things silky smooth in this stirred drink. For a name, I aimed to tie the drink back to the island of Martinique's history. When the island was settled by Europeans, the last remaining tribe there was the Caribs. One of the landmarks on the northern side of the island is a cliff called the Tomb of the Caribs. There, the last Caribs jumped instead of surrendering to the Europeans; it symbolically matched classic ‘Ti Punch service where ingredients are provided such that "each can prepare their own death."

Substituted simple syrup for the honey syrup. It was solid, but unspectacular. I'd try again with the honey syrup, or maybe just straight honey.

  • Didn't have Jäger, so used Gammel Dansk instead. A nice choice when you want something tropical but a little bitter. Solid — 4.5 if I could.
  • We like Surfer on Acid and would like to try this one as well.

  • Good brunch drink! Decreased Benedictine to 0.5 oz - could also try switching balance to 0.75 Benedictine and 0.5oz Amaro Montenegro (trying to keep sweetness lower).
