  • This is a bit sweet as built here. If a sweet drink is what you are looking for, you got it. If you want a more balanced drink with depth, it's worth playing with this a bit. Perhaps eliminating the simple all together or upping the tequila to 2oz.
  • Recipe I saw used 0.5 oz lime and served up. Excellent
  • Great drink from Milk and Honey. Stay away if you hate the taste of licorice but to those who don't mind it, it's a great introduction to an absinthe forward cocktail.

As others have noted, there are slight differences between these measurements and the ones that were in the "Regarding Cocktails" book. 0.50 oz of lime juice and served in a coupe were the differences.
That said, this is a brilliant cocktail either way. Gimmie!

Very good, but a bit heavy on the amaro and light on the mezcal. I found I enjoyed it more with 3/4 oz Amaro Abano and 1 1/2 oz. Mezcal. Also good with a light dash of cherry bitters.

Burdick's Cocktail

1 oz Mezcal
1 oz Dry vermouth
1 oz Byrrh (My original recipe just calls for "Quinquina", but this is what I used first. See notes)
1⁄4 oz Crème de Cacao
1 ds Peychaud's Bitters
1 twst Lemon peel (As garnish)
Instructions

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

Notes

The original Marliave's Cocktail was vague as to the quinquina; I left it that way too, but Byrrh works great with mezcal and cacao which is what I used at home. At work, I opted for L.N. Mattei's Cap Corse Quinquina Rouge.

History

After making Marliave's Cocktail from 1906 Louis' Mixed Drinks (and a sweet vermouth version called Aime), I tinkered with the gin-Maraschino-orange bitters formula to create a drink named after another local institution -- Burdick's choclatier, and mezcal-cacao-Peychaud's offered up an equally elegant tipple.

The Elephant in the Room

3⁄4 oz Scotch
3⁄4 oz Rum, Smith & Cross
3⁄4 oz Aperol
1⁄2 oz Cynar
1⁄4 oz Maraschino Liqueur
1 twst Orange peel (As garnish)
Instructions

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

History

I was inspired by a Sfumato/Zucca + Aperol drink called the Knife to a Gun Fight. I ended up dropping the rabarbaro element and latching on to its Aperol. With that, I made a hybrid of the Prospect Park, one of my favorite Manhattan riffs created in Boston, (Aperol + Maraschino) with the Negroni that Wasn't (Aperol + Cynar) that I had earlier in the week. Between the political debates being that night as well as the Smith & Cross in the mix, I dubbed this one the Elephant in the Room.
