Curated this - changed the last rum to the correct spec in the article. Not that a lot of people are going to have it. Maybe a Velier Hampden - S&C isn't aged enough. Thanks,  Zachary

Pangolindo commented on 3/27/2020:

Used for the overproof rum a white agricole rum (Longueteau 62%) with great results despite being unaged.

It brings minerality and freshness to the mix.

applejack commented on 2/03/2020:

While this build is fine (and the people I've made it for tend to enjoy it more than me), it tends to be a little curacao heavy for me, with the sugary sweet Ronnie Zac combining with it to have a strong candied orange note that's a touch off putting.  I like to sub Bigallet China-China for the curacao for a more complex, bitter, less orange forward version.  I imagine Amaro Nonino would work as well.  Also needs a bit more dilution than I normally do (50-60 stir revolutions, so an extra 10-15 is fine), and the expressed lemon peel is a must to cut the sweetness.

Piglet's Lament

1 oz Gin
1⁄2 oz Campari
1⁄4 oz Cynar
1⁄4 oz Elderflower liqueur
1 oz Sweet vermouth
1 twst Grapefruit peel (As garnish)
Instructions

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

Notes

Elderflower works great with both Cynar and Campari, and the grapefruit oil helps to draw the fruitier notes of it out.

History

I was tinkering around with Negroni variations for a request from an upcoming wedding held at Loyal Nine. I was inspired by Eeyore's Requiem to include other liqueurs in the mix, but I did not want it to be as extreme as Toby Maloney's neo-classic with Campari being the largest component. Therefore, I stuck with the equal parts gin, liqueur, and vermouth ratio. For a name, I kept the Winnie the Pooh theme and decided on Piglet's Lament; one of Piglet's laments in Winnie the Pooh is "It is hard to be brave when you're only a Very Small Animal."

I think this cocktail is absolutely fabulous. One of my favorites.

yarm commented on 2/13/2022:

Cheers! I need to revisit this recipe for my guests at work. Hard to believe it's 4.5 years old already...

Aviation__1952 commented on 7/09/2025:

WOW WOW WOW !!! This is quite fantastic !! My own "addition" is that the fresh grapefruit I have: the rind/skin is very thin and won't spritz. So I cut a big piece of rind, then squooshed it and smooshed it a lot, then rubbed the inside of my coupe glass with that rind to get some "spritz" into the glass for the garnish.
Anyway, this is a fantastic cocktail !!!!

Negroni Grog

1 oz Gin
1 oz Sweet vermouth
1 oz Campari
3⁄4 oz Grapefruit juice
3⁄4 oz Lime juice
3⁄4 oz Honey syrup (1:1)
1⁄4 oz Allspice Dram
1 oz Soda water (Not included in the shake)
Instructions

Shake all but the soda with ice, strain into a tall glass with 1 oz soda water, fill with crushed ice, and garnish with an orange wheel, cherry, lime twist flag. A double old fashioned glass with a Navy Grog ice cone would work well too!

History

A three-way cross between a Negroni and both Don the Beachcomber's and Trader Vic's Navy Grogs. Campari goes well with grapefruit and allspice flavors, so I knew it was going to be a win. Since the bar had a gin theme, I figured that my tropical drinks needed to eschew rum for a bit.

Gin Gin Carré!

1 oz Gin
1 oz Genever
1 oz Sloe gin
1⁄4 oz Bénédictine
2 ds Bitters, Angostura
2 ds Peychaud's Bitters
1 twst Orange peel (As garnish)
Instructions

Stir with ice, strain into a rocks glass with a large ice cube, and garnish with an orange twist.

Notes

Malty, berry, juniper, and bitter-herbal orchard fruit.

History

At Our Fathers, I crafted this three gin riff on the Vieux Carré with dry gin, sloe gin, and Genever akin to Martin Cate's The Modern Prometheus tiki drink. Here, the sloe gin was subbing in for the 1930s classic's sweet vermouth. For a name, I was inspired by the old cheer "Hip hip hooray!" to call this one the Gin Gin Carré!

  • Interested to try this out as intended. Had to sub in Green Chartreuse because I was out of Benedictine. Jammy, with the genever coming through well. Chartreuse is much more prominent than Benedictine would be.
