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).

8th Arrondissement

1 1⁄2 oz Cognac
1⁄2 oz Grenadine
1⁄2 oz Amer Picon
1⁄2 oz Lemon juice
1 twst Orange peel (As garnish)
Instructions

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

Notes

Though starting with the Ward 8, the end result was very different flavorwise, and the French ingredients work much better to me than the original.

History

In the wake of the Thirst Boston conference, I was thinking about the Ward 8 and the conversations I had that weekend about it. One of my major problems with the earliest recipe of the 1898 drink appearing in Robert Vermeire's 1922 Cocktails: How to Mix Them is that the orange juice clashed with the oaky American whiskey. I pondered what spirits might work well here, and my eyes drifted over to the Cognac section of my home bar. With a French theme, perhaps substituting Amer Picon for the orange juice might work especially given how well grenadine and Amer Picon pair in some of Trader Vic's recipes, plus the swap reminded me of Paul McGee's trading curaçao for orange juice. For a name, I dubbed this one the 8th Arrondissement which is the part of Paris that contains the Champs-Élysées.

  • Up lemon juice
  • Maybe a bit too sweet, will dial back slightly the grenadine
  • Made with Boudreau, and homemade cherry grenadine. Grenadine dominated but happily. In Scofflaw territory. — ★★★★★

The Kid with the Replaceable Head

1 3⁄4 oz Genever
1⁄2 oz Cardamaro
2 ds Absinthe (I used 1/2 bsp (1/16th oz))
1 twst Lemon peel (As garnish)
Instructions

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

History

I was inspired by the bottle of Cardamaro, and I was inspired to create this Genever Manhattan riff based off of what would work well with that amaro. For a name, I dubbed this one after a Richard Hell and the Voidoids song after thinking about how I was swapping around ingredient pairings from other recipes to assemble this one.

  • Made with 4 drops of absinthe, and one drop of lemon bitters, since I was out of lemons. Also used scant 1/4 oz maraschino since I think m. is kind of a bully.
