Stormy Classic

2 oz Rhum Agricole (Black Sheriff)
1⁄2 oz Lime juice
1⁄3 oz Yuzu juice
1⁄3 oz Cane syrup (Rich syrup 2:1)
Instructions

Shake long with lot of ice, strain, crazy chilled coupe.

Must be black sheriff and cane sugar.

Fat 1/3 syrup, nearly 1/2 oz.
Tried 1/3 and it did not worked, then added a couple of dashes more, boom, tropical

Notes

Heavy tropical notes, fabulous... Passion fruit, pineapple
Without any kind of real modifier.

I really think this is an alchemy between this rum, yuzu and proper amount of cane sugar.

Cane sugar syrup: 2 parts powdered sugar cane + 1 part hot water.

History

I lived in the same block of the bar for 5 years. No comment...

We moved not far from the previous point, came back to the bar, and all the staff we knew was no longer in service !
The barman asked for what i needed tonight. I ordered a Daiquiri kind but not girly.
I took a sip, and wow, i asked for the ingredients.
When he told me he just add yuzu juice i did not believe him!

I cleaned up the History a little bit for clarity. HSE (Habitation Ste. Etienne) makes the rum which can be found in limited amounts in NYC evidently. Thanks,  Zachary

Extremely smooth for a drink with an oz each of Peychaud's and lemon without that much simple. Used Old Tom. I like it a lot but also feel like it's missing a very small amount of.....something? A teaspoon of Campari or dry curacao or maraschino could be good.


Fontoura

1 oz Cachaça, Novo Fogo (A good silver cachaça will do.)
1⁄2 oz Cachaça, Avúa Amburana (Any good amburana-aged cachaça will do.)
1⁄4 oz Lime juice
1⁄4 oz Simple syrup
Instructions

Shake all ingredients with ice and strain to a rocks glass with ice. Garnish with a grapefruit twist.

Notes

Starts with a mellow cane flavor from the cachaça blend that fades away to allow the bitterness of Amaro Montenegro and grapefruit to cover the mouthfeel.

Terra Verde

1 1⁄2 oz Blanco tequila, Cimarron
1⁄4 oz Ancho Reyes chile liqueur (Verde)
1⁄2 oz Agave syrup (green peppercorn)
3⁄4 oz Apple juice (Granny Smith)
3⁄4 oz Lime juice
Instructions

Shake all ingredients with ice for 15 seconds, strain into a chilled coupe or an iced old fashioned glass. Garnish with dehydrated lime wheel.

Notes

Swap out the tequila base with mezcal or a tequila/mezcal split for something smokier. For the Granny Smith apple juice, you can either fresh press it using a juicer (it oxidizes quickly so add some citrus) or muddle 1/2 a diced apple. For the Green Peppercorn Agave Syrup, sous vide 1 cup water, 1 cup agave nectar and 15 green peppercorns for 2 hours at 155 degrees. Strain and bottle. Or bring water to a boil in a stove top pot, add agave nectar and peppercorns, simmer on low for 15 minutes and strain. You could also muddle a few green peppercorns with .5 oz 1:1 agave syrup.

Blood from a Stone

1⁄2 oz Earl Grey Tea Syrup
1⁄4 oz Strawberry juice (or muddled strawberry)
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
Instructions

Shake all ingredients with ice for 15 seconds, strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with dehydrated lemon wheel.

Notes

I use an Omega Vert juicer to make the strawberry juice for quicker service, alternately you could muddle a sliced strawberry. Though I prefer this with strawberry, it also works well with blackberries, blueberries, or other seasonal berries instead.

Gin & Juice & 'Treuse

1 3⁄4 oz Gin, Citadelle
1⁄4 oz Herbal liqueur, Green Chartreuse
1⁄2 oz Chinese five spice syrup
3⁄4 oz Pineapple juice
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
Instructions

Shake with ice for 15 seconds, strain into an iced Collin glass. Garnish with pineapple or lemon wedge.

Notes

Also works well with cinnamon syrup or falernum instead of the Chinese 5 spice syrup.

For the Chinese 5 spice syrup combine 1 cup each water and demerara sugar with toasted 5 spice ingredients (.5 tbsp cloves, 1 tbsp each Szechuan peppercorn & fennel seeds, 2 tbsp star anise, 1 cracked cinnamon stick). Sous vide for 2 hours at 145 degrees, plunge into ice bath, strain and bottle. Add .25 oz overproof vodka if desired to extend shelf life. Alternately use 3 tbsp of quality 5 spice powder. Or there are also several stove top recipes for 5 spice syrup available online.

Shake, strain, up.

History

Created by David Wondrich for Fatty Crab in Manhattan and named as a joke after a fictitious British officers' club (like the Pegu Club), but apparently there is an actual Poona Club in India. See NYT link for history. Wondrich gives his proportions in a tweet (also linked).
