  • Dark and dirty! I love it! I used Hamilton 86 and an Icelandic sheep dung smoked whisky. I'm not much of a whisky drinker but this is superb.
  • Used 1/2 fresh lime per drink Go a little lighter on the lime and on the Rum.
  • Recommend white unaged/lightly aged rum.

  • I used Aarborg, Amaro Montenegro and Dolin. It was great. I think that next time I'll try a twist of tangerine. Make a double as it does not fill a Nick & Nora. — ★★★★★
  • Nicely balanced before dinner cocktail. Used Dolin dry vermouth. Rate 4.5
  • Made with Aarborg, Dolin, and Lucano Anniversario. Handsome glassy amber color. Nose is cinnamon rolls with orange icing. Herbaceous, and maybe a touch too sweet.
  • Might scale back meletti/split sweetener btw amaro and marschino
  • Light in flavor, but not in body. Well balanced.
  • Made with Maraska and Krogstad: 4.5

Shawn C commented on 12/04/2025:

Curated as authentic recipe. Changed vermouth to the NP Extra Dry (specified in book.) I have added this ingredient to the KC database, probably overdue. A few years ago Noilly Prat discontinued their original dry vermouth in the U.S. and went solely to Extra Dry for this market. However, they are now selling "Original Dry" again in smaller volumes in the U.S. as of ~2021. I came across a bottle last year and snapped it up--it is much better than the extra dry in my opinion. However, the "original" has been slightly reformulated as well. Anyway, I have converted the old catch-all Noilly Prat Dry ingredient to Noilly Prat Original Dry. So if you know which one a drink actually called for, you can specify the correct one in recipes.

Sparks and Gledes

1 oz Orange juice (strained, blood orange is nice)
1 pn Citric acid
1 1⁄2 oz Milk (whole, warm)
4 oz Campari
1⁄2 oz Islay Scotch, Laphroaig 10
1⁄2 oz Maraschino Liqueur, Luxardo
1 pn Salt
Instructions

Acidulate the OJ with the citric acid. Add the juice to the warm milk to curdle it. Add the curdled milk to a damp Chemex filter over a carafe, being sure to get some of it up the sides of the filter. In a small pitcher, combine everything else, and add to the filter. The filtrate should be pale orange and clear. Place the setup in the refrigerator overnight then transfer the cocktail to a labelled jar.

Dry Float Punch

2 Lime (peel)
1 oz Demerara sugar
1 oz Water (boiling)
1 oz Lime juice
1⁄4 oz Lemon juice
1 1⁄2 oz Passion fruit (pulp)
2 oz Overproof rum, Lemon Hart 151
1⁄2 oz Maraschino Liqueur, Luxardo
5 oz Milk (whole, hot)
2 oz Demerara Rum, El Dorado 12 (or better, the 15 - to float)
Instructions

Make an oleo-saccharum from the lime peels and sugar. Dissolve the sugar with the water, lime and lemon juice, add everything but the milk and rum float and strain into a pitcher, making sure to push on the pulp with a spoon to get it all.. Warm the milk and add the punch base to it. Stir and wait 5 minutes for it to curdle. Strain through a damp Chemex filter into a carafe overnight in the refrigerator. When you're ready to serve, pour over crushed ice in an double OF glass and float rum.

Sauternes Corretto

1⁄2 c Pineapple (slices, muddled)
1⁄4 t Tartaric acid powder
4 oz Gin, Plymouth Navy Strength
3 oz Amaro Sibilla
2 oz Apricot liqueur
4 oz Milk (whole, warm)
Instructions

Acidify the muddled pineapple with the tartaric acid, add the remaining liquors, wait 5 minutes, strain into the milk, stir and let sit 5 minutes to curdle. Strain through a damp Chemex filter into a carafe - it's best to do this in the refrigerator overnight. Transfer to a jar and label.

Notes

This makes the Sibilla taste like coffee so that the overall effect is like drinking an espresso then pouring in a glass of good Jamaican rum.
