History

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."

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.

Shawn C commented on 5/30/2023:

Workable with half as much lemon juice (I used ~3/8 oz). The given recipe would likely be too sour (as an early comment noted) and dry when combined with the Cardamaro. As with many drier/acidic cocktails it improves (for my palate) as it warms somewhat, bringing other flavors forward. The wine base of the Cardamaro is masked by the lemon juice when very cold, a not uncommon problem I have noticed with lime/lemon/grapefruit juice drinks. I am rating my reduced lemon version as 3 out of 5, but something is missing that would elevate the drink.

The Mexico City Sour

1 oz Amargo-Vallet
1 oz Orgeat
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
1⁄2 oz Mezcal
Instructions

Shake with ice. Double strain. Nick and Nora glass is nice.

Notes

Egg whites are nice as well. Add a dry shake if using.

  • The proportions on this seem off. The sweetness of the orgeat is overpowering. Even with tinkering with those proportions, it never seemed to come together.

Gucci Sweater Now

1 1⁄4 oz Cognac
3⁄4 oz Bénédictine
1⁄2 oz Valdespino Jerez Quina
1⁄4 oz Dry vermouth, Dolin
Instructions

Express 2 lemon twists over ice in a mixing glass. Add everything, stir, strain into a coupe.

Notes

Whatever base spirit you use, it needs to be oaky and high proof - I'm using Daniel Bouju's "Royal" which is 120 proof and very oaky. Need to use some store pick Bourbon you don't love? This is a good place for it.

Love the name. Drink sounds delicious, too.

Thanks Rafa - I have a nagging feeling it needs something high proof and really woody to cut through the sweetness. I'm going to try it with something from Daniel Bouju I think. Thanks,  Zachary

applejack commented on 4/25/2020:

Was looking to use up an open bottle of Pierre Ferrand Pineau I have in the fridge and found this recipe on Punch.  Always on the lookout for more stirred tequila cocktails (especially using blancos), so I mixed it up but didn't read close enough to realize this uses a Rosso Pineau. not Blanc.  Oops.  But it was solid with the Blanc.  Pretty fruity, but the earthy agave notes did cut through nicely.  You definitely want to use a punchy, agave forward tequila, no triple distilled Patron or diffuser garbage.  I thought it needed a bit of a spice counterpoint to all the fruit, so I hit the glass with a couple atomizer spritzes of allspice liqueur.

Banana Buckmeister

1 1⁄2 oz Jägermeister
2 oz Orange juice
1⁄2 oz Crème de Banane
3 ds Bitters, Regans' orange bitters
Instructions

Shake, strain, coupe, garnish with an orange twist.

Notes

No Jäger on hand, so i mixed 3/4 oz each Ramazzotti and averna, 1/8 fernet and 1/8 Ouzo (greek anise spirit).
The drink was good, very different from what i used to drink. But my palate always need a tart touch when round citrus juices are in the mix. I added 0.5 oz of lemon and it allows more variations on the taste to come trough. Very interesting.

Despite being very nice that way the problem is that with 2 oz of orange juice+1/2 oz lemon , the drink gets diluted a lot and very low abv.
Amaris were still present but nearly faded away.

I will try again the recipe with maybe 1 1/4 or 1.5 oz orange and 1/3 lemon. Maybe lime.

I did not perceived the banana, but some tropical flavor. I rate the lemon version 4 stars.

I've found the recipe on regan's 101 cocktails.
