Wooden Shoe

3⁄4 oz Genever
3⁄4 oz Apple brandy (Aged such as a VS Calvados or Laird's Bonded)
1 oz Cardamaro
1⁄4 oz Bénédictine
1⁄4 oz Herbal liqueur, Yellow Chartreuse
2 ds Peychaud's Bitters
1 twst Lemon peel (As garnish)
Instructions

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

Notes

Earthy, malty, herbal.

History

I was inspired by a tasty Genever-Cardamaro drink and reading about apple brandy-Cardamaro duo on the Haus Alpenz site, and I wondered if I could fuse the two ideas. The apple brandy aspect made me think of the Widow's Kiss and its Benedictine-Yellow Chartreuse accents. For a name, I looked up Dutch fairy tales to support the Genever ingredient and was inspired by the "The Legend of the Wooden Shoe."

Berry Wall

1 1⁄2 oz Bourbon
3⁄4 oz Sweet vermouth, Carpano Punt e Mes
1⁄2 oz Campari
1⁄4 oz Allspice Dram
1 Strawberry (Medium-sized)
1 twst Orange peel (As garnish)
Instructions

Muddle the strawberry in the Campari and allspice dram. Add the rest of the ingredients, stir with ice, and double strain into a rocks glass with a large ice cube. Garnish with an orange twist.

Notes

A Boulevardier "man about town" riff utilizing the tasty Campari-strawberry and Campari-allspice dram combinations.

History

A discussion about the important role that Saratoga Springs in NY had in the late 1800s brought up Jerry Thomas' and Harry Johnson's Saratoga Cocktail recipes, and then it drifted into Berry Wall and his his dude-off where he won the title of the "King of the Dudes" by changing outfits 40 times between breakfast and dinner. I figured that his name alone was worthy of a drink tribute.

  • I love this with a pinch of salt on the rock!
  • Nice balance, not as dark as I expected, I guess due to the berry. A little Twizzler in there.
