  • Very special - the absinthe really ties it together (I floated a bit more on top)
  • A nice cross between a daiquiri and a Monkey Gland. Definitely more the former. Definitely for the better.

1⁄2 oz Orgeat
1⁄2 oz Herbal liqueur, Green Chartreuse

I made the pineapple gin by putting the core of one pineapple in 375mL of gin. Let it sit for a week. I’d like to try it with navy-strength next time.

Yep, Duran Duran. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Dry shake to get that good egg white foam. Shake harder. HARDER. Add ice and shake again, strain into a coupe and adorn with bitters.

Please Me Rosy

3⁄4 oz Herbal liqueur, Green Chartreuse
3⁄4 oz Coffee liqueur, Kahlua
1 oz Lime juice
1⁄3 oz Chinotto (Chinotto soda syrup)
2 ds Lavender bitters, Scrappy's Lavender
2 oz Rose petal (Dried rose buds)
Instructions

Shake long, strain, coupe.

Notes

Sweetness needs to be scaled back a bit.

Nice interacton of chartreuse and coffee.

The syrup is made of chinotto soda (Lurisia): same part soda+same part sugar. No heating. Refrigerated i've been keeping it for one year without issue. Very stable.
It makes also a nice flavored syrup for stirred drinks.
Agave syrup or simple syrup can be used too.
Regarding rose buds, 2 oz makes around 5 to 6 buds.
Rose water is a good sub too (1/3 oz).

applejack commented on 5/28/2020:

Pangolindo,

Looks interesting flavor wise and build wise (lacks a strong base spirit).  Can you be more specific on the brands (coffee liqueur & lavender bitters)?  And recipe for the Chinotto syrup (I assume it's a reduction of the Pelligrino soda)?  And is really 2 oz of dried rose hips?  I have a locally produced rose hip liqueur (Koval) I'm looking to use up but that might be tough to sub given the other ingredients, and just adding more acid is going to blow out the nuances of the other flavors.

Pangolindo commented on 5/29/2020:

Applejack, i've filled the recipe according to your request.

I've made a mistake using the term "hips", because it's "buds" in fact. Corrected...

I've tried the recipe with buds tincture but the freshness of buds get lost. The rose/floral notes are obvious with 5 to 6 buds. But not that much. Coffee tame a lot. 

 

Make sure to strain well since torn rose petals tend to get trough the strainer.

 

I've never tasted hips. And when you talked about acidity i 've understood there was something wrong ;)

Pangolindo's Special

1⁄2 oz Herbal liqueur, Green Chartreuse
1⁄2 oz Cassis
1⁄2 oz Ramazzotti
3⁄4 oz Lime juice
1 dr Chocolate bitters
Instructions

Shake long, strain, coupe, dried lime slice on top as garnish.

Big 3/4. Midway between 1 oz an 3/4.

Notes

Nice!
According to me...

History

Final Ward Eight

1 1⁄4 oz Rye
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
1⁄4 oz Herbal liqueur, Green Chartreuse
1⁄4 oz Maraschino Liqueur
1⁄4 oz Grenadine
1⁄4 oz Orange juice
1 twst Orange peel (As garnish.)
Instructions

Shake with ice, strain into a cocktail glass, and garnish with an orange twist (a cherry or a lemon twist or no garnish at all would work well here too).

Notes

Not as blaring as the Final Ward and not as basic as the Ward 8 but somewhere pleasantly in between.

History

Phil Ward's Last Word riff, the Final Ward, came into my mind. My brain free associated with the name and thought about the 1898 Boston classic, Ward 8. Those two drinks share two ingredients, rye and lemon juice, and one word in the name, so why not try to mash them up?
