  • Fine, balanced, and boozy, but a bit generic. Caramel.
  • Had at Ward 8 -- recipe seems about the same Initial thoughts were 1, 1, 3/4 vermouth, 1/4 combier, 1+1 bitters

Improved 1794

1 1⁄2 oz Rye
3⁄4 oz Sweet vermouth
3⁄4 oz Campari
1⁄4 oz Maraschino Liqueur
2 ds Absinthe (I used 1 bsp (1/8 oz) Kübler)
2 ds Bitters, Bittermens Xocolatl Mole
1 twst Orange peel (As garnish)
Instructions

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

Notes

The profile here is somewhere between a 1794 and a Red Hook. Like elsewhere, Campari and Maraschino interact so well together.

History

The 1794 is one of my favorite drinks of the early 00s and Jerry Thomas' Improved trick works so great with whiskey.

Explorer's Dream

3⁄4 oz Batavia Arrack
3⁄4 oz Mezcal
1 oz Dry vermouth
1⁄2 oz Bénédictine
1 ds Absinthe (I utilized 20 drops St. George)
1 twst Lemon peel
Instructions

Stir with ice, strain into a punch cup, and garnish with a lemon twist.

Notes

Smoke and funk accented by chocolate, mint, and anise flavors.

History

I had recently tried the Dead Poet from Imbibe Magazine and kept thinking about the Poet's Dream. I honed in on Batavia Arrack for some reason that night; mezcal and Batavia Arrack have worked well in drinks like the Smoking Jet Pilot, Airbag, and Esmino's Escape, so things progressed in that route.

  • Nice blend of Batavia Arrack and mezcal (Vida); used Dolin dry vermouth (slightly less than 1 oz). Rate 4.5
  • Dawn says "like a library, a dusty shelf." Savory and herbal elements. Sprayed absinthe in the mix then final spray on presentation.
  • Special and complex and I love it

Tasty and complex, but strong and a bit imbalanced
