Great refreshing drink. Tastes like it has maraschino in it - that sort of cherry starburst taste.

Spiced Tamarind Buck

3 spg Mint (divided)
1⁄4 oz Falernum, Velvet Falernum
3⁄4 oz Triple sec, Cointreau
1 1⁄2 oz Rhum Agricole (Lemba - Unaged)
2 ds Bitters (Portland Bitters Project - Super Spice)
1⁄2 oz Lime juice
2 oz Ginger beer, Fever Tree
2 oz Club soda
1⁄2 oz Tamarind
Instructions

Muddle 2 sprigs (4 leaves) mint in mixing tin with Falernum and Cointreau. Add rum, lime juice, bitters, then shake. Strain into glass over a large cube. Top with ginger beer. Garnish with remaining mint sprig..

Notes

If you don't have Super Spice bitters, try Bittermens Tiki or anything with a cinnamon note. Alternative is to add a pinch of ground cinnamon prior to shaking (I didn't have any, so I used the bitters in its place).

Could also use a whole lime and muddle with the mint as in a traditional mojito preparation; I already had fresh squeezed lime ready so I used that instead. Could use regular simple or another sweet liqueur in place of the falernum, but I think it adds a great spicy note if you have it. And, of course, any regular rum can always sub for the rhum agricole

To make the tamarind puree, dissolve a small piece of brick tamarind in enough hot water, let it soften for a few minutes, then strain to remove seeds/fiber. Or use a small amount (1/2 tsp?) of tamarind paste.

The drink would probably work with reposado or anejo rum as the base spirit.

Le Vieux Pêcher

1 oz Rye, Old Overholt
1 oz Simple syrup (peach, see note)
2 ds Peach bitters
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
1⁄2 oz Egg white (or Aqua Faba)
2 oz Seltzer water
1 sli Lemon peel (as garnish)
2 spg Mint (as garnish)
Instructions

Spirit, Lemon juice, egg whites, simple syrup, bitters, into your tin. Dry shake (or reverse shake - however you like). Shake with ice. Add seltzer to tin. Strain into glass with ice - I use a larger rocks glass.. Express lemon and drop into drink. Mint as a garnish is nice as well.

Notes

Peach Simple Syrup is deadly delicious. I did a 1:1 simple syrup with a single peach sliced up and into the pot. Let it sit for a good 30 minutes.

yarm commented on 7/02/2020:

Technically, Ben Sandrof was at Drink in Boston when he created this and it made the menu at PKNY as a guest item (Ben to the best of my knowledge never did a shift there). Also of note is that the Cuban Anole is a lizard with a bifurcated penis, and this was important for Ben to tell me when he served this drink at his Sunday Night Salon (he took over the back room at Trina's Starlite Lounge one night a week with his own menu and a separate entry around back for a year before they converted that section into Parlor Sports).

davidnir commented on 11/27/2021:

The first sip or two is tasty, but ultimately I found the drink too sweet. Even though PKNY listed it in the Mai Tai section of its menu (I'm guessing because of the agricole), the lack of Curaçao makes it a lot closer to a Daiquiri. The spec, then, only has 1.5 oz of r(h)um to 1 oz of syrup, making it proportionally almost twice as sweet as a traditional Daiq, which would typically have 2 oz of rum and just .75 oz of sugar. I personally would not make again.

drjones commented on 2/28/2023:

I gave this 4 stars but only after I reduced the Orgeat & Cinnamon syrup down to .75 oz total combined and upped the, what I used was, Cachaça to 1 oz. I love interesting and complex flavors in cocktails and that's what funky rums do for me in tiki drinks.

The Cheerwine & Rye Sour

2 oz Rye
1 oz Simple syrup (Cheerwine Simple Syrup (see notes))
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice

Shake with ice. Strain onto rock. Express lemon peel and use as garnish with mint sprig.

Notes

In my continued adoration of Cheerwine, I paired it with rye. For the Cheerwine Simple Syrup. 2 cups Cheerwine. 1 cup sugar. Dashes of nutmeg and allspice. A little lemon zest. Simmer until sugar is dissolved. Let it all sit together and cool.
