1⁄4 oz Amer Picon
1⁄4 oz Bénédictine

Instructions

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

Notes

Orange oil over grassy funk on the nose. A crisp sip with hints of orange; grassy funk and herbal orange on the swallow.

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."

yarm commented on 5/01/2020:

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.
