  • Autumnal, but not worth a high-dollar calvados or anything. Applejack is right.

Fortune Favors the Bold

3⁄4 oz Jamaican rum, Smith & Cross
3⁄4 oz Amargo-Vallet
3⁄4 oz Fernet, Letherbee
3⁄4 oz Allspice Dram, St. Elizabeth
1 Lemon peel
Instructions

Stir, strain into old fashioned glass with a large cube or sphere or a Nick & Nora glass. Garnish with an expressed lemon swath.

Notes

Fernet Branca is a bit of a bully in this drink, so if Letherbee Fernet isn't available, I'd recommend either another, slightly less intense fernet or a split of say Branca and Nardini. The Bitter Truth Allspice Dram is drier with a stronger allspice taste than the St. Elizabeth, if using the former, try maybe .5 oz and .25 oz demerara syrup.
Part of my ongoing "4 parts, equal parts, stirred" series.

Exactly. I was expecting spirit forward dry drink. Actually quite sweet, but not in a cloying way.

1⁄2 oz Mezcal
3⁄4 oz Sweet vermouth
1⁄4 oz Allspice Dram
1⁄4 oz Bénédictine

Notes

Can also be made with .75 oz tequila and .75 oz mezcal, if you favor a bit more smoke. Went over very well as an aperitif

  • Made with blanco tequila but aged mezcal, and Dolin and xocolatl bitters. I'm floored that 1/4 oz of my homemade dram didn't take over. Nice finish.

applejack commented on 12/19/2019:

I remember making this years ago (maybe a decade?). This is a Phil Ward creation.  Sweet vermouth is Carpano Antica, Allspice Dram is St. Elizabeth and bitters (I've seen builds with 2 dashes) are Bittermens Xocolatl Mole Bitters.  Garnish is a lit Laphroaig Cask Strength soaked cherry.

lesliec commented on 12/31/2019:

Curated: corrected vermouth amount to match source.

The Cause

1 3⁄4 oz Irish whiskey, Redbreast (It'd probably work with something slightly less pricey)
3⁄4 oz Dry vermouth, Dolin
1⁄3 oz Bruto Americano, St. George (scant)
Instructions

Stir, strain, and serve straight up. No garnish.

Notes

The rosemary notes in the Bruto Americano and the Dolin Dry amplify each other, making for a pretty unique drink! This one's great if you're into more savory herbal flavors.
