Old Painless is Waiting

1 1⁄2 oz Light rum (Overproof; I used Privateer Tres Aromatique)
1 oz Coconut Water
3⁄4 oz Lime juice
1⁄2 oz Pineapple syrup
1⁄4 oz Curaçao (I used Pierre Ferrand Dry, but any good curacao or triple sec will do)
6 dr Absinthe (Subsitute Herbsaint or pastis)
1 pn Nutmeg (As garnish)
Instructions

Shake all but the nutmeg with ice, strain into a cocktail coupe, and garnish with freshly grated nutmeg.

Notes

The result is a lot more ethereal and closer to a Daiquiri than the classic Painkiller.

History

Inspired by my fresh batch of pineapple syrup, a recent purchase of coconut water, and Paul McGee's preference to remove orange juice from his tiki drinks at Lost Lake and sub in curacao.

Quetzal

1 1⁄2 oz Mezcal
3⁄4 oz Grapefruit juice
1⁄2 oz Lime juice
3⁄8 oz Campari
3⁄8 oz Cinnamon syrup
1 ds Peychaud's Bitters
Instructions

Shake with ice, strain into a cocktail coupe, and garnish with a grapefruit twist or lime wheel.

Notes

I was inspired by Don's Mix (grapefruit + cinnamon) and how well Campari works with cinnamon as well as grapefruit. The 3/8 oz measurements might seem odd, but the concept was to create a grapefruit-Campari-cinnamon syrup cordial so the drink build would be 1.5, 1.5, 0.5, 1 dash.

History

Created for the La Brasa menu winter menu.

Enjoy the Silence

1 1⁄2 oz Gin

3⁄4 oz Dry vermouth
1⁄8 oz Apricot liqueur
1⁄8 oz Cinnamon syrup
2 ds Orange bitters
Instructions

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

Notes

Stone fruit, orchard fruit, pine forests, cinnamon spice.

History

I got inspired by the apricot liqueur-cinnamon syrup combination and decided to fit that into one of my Martini riff structures. With apple brandy as the minor spirit, the combination became an elegant autumnal tipple. While tasting the result, my Pandora radio station was playing Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the Silence" song, and the name stuck.

This is a drink that is both tangy and sweet. And delicious! For the gin I used Hendrick's Solstice, which is a limited gin. I believe this will be a better drink by using a gin that has some body, either a botanical gin or highly juniper gin. This is because of the sweetness (Aperol and St Germain) and the tanginess from the lemon juice. A gin such as Beefeater's is likely to be swallowed up by the other ingredients. This is an enjoyable drink, either before or after dinner. Or on a hot day. Enjoy!
