Robert Pope commented on 10/12/2020:

Didn't have Irish whisky or Gran Classico in my bar, so I used a simple Scotch whisky (Macallan 10) and doubled the Averna.  Didn't care much for it.  Did a second version that used bourbon in place of the Irish whisky and stayed with the doubled Averna in place of the Gran Classico.  Much nicer cocktail on my palate.  

Zachary Pearson commented on 10/12/2020:

Campari is a much better substitute for Gran Classico. Thanks,  Zachary

3:20 in the Morning

3⁄4 oz Scotch (I used Compass Box's Great King Street)
3⁄4 oz Apple brandy (I used Laird's Bonded)
3⁄4 oz Drambuie
3⁄4 oz Cynar
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
1⁄4 oz Honey syrup (1:1)
1 twst Lemon peel (As garnish for oils only)
Instructions

Shake with ice and strain into a single Old Fashioned glass. Garnish with lemon oil from a twist.

Notes

The Michigander (the inspiration) is apple brandy, Cynar, honey syrup, and lemon.

History

I was inspired by Jason Schiffer's Michigander, and I decided to expand on the drink in honor of our Drambuie rep. For a name, I paid tribute to the bar that Jason works at -- 320 Main in Seal Beach, California -- as well as the rap song 4 in the Morning. It was actually close to 3:20 pm when our Drambuie rep stopped in for a drink a few days later during one of my day shifts.

I'd gather we're talking about skin contact whites with a bit of color not wine made from oranges? Thanks,  Zachary

Pangolindo commented on 1/06/2020:

Yes, oranges cut into pieces, grain alcohol, white or rosé wine, cola nut, sugar, let for macerate about 1 month.

Charles Dickens Lemon Milk Punch

1 c Pineapple (crushed, drained)
1 c Sugar
1 q Water (hot, for sugar)
1 c Tea (black, strong)
6 Cloves
20 Coriander seeds
1⁄2 t Cinnamon
1 pt Brandy
1 pt Rum
1 q Water (boiling)
4 Lemon (peels of 2, juice all 4)
1 q Milk (hot)
Instructions

Dissolve the sugar in the first measure of water. Pour everything except the lemon juice and the milk into a large nonreactive container. Cover and let steep for 6 hours. Add the lemon juice and milk, mix well, then strain through cheesecloth until clear.

Notes

I would muddle enough pineapple chunks to make a cup and not strain it too well. I would sub a broken cinnamon stick for the 1/2 t ground cinnamon. The rum suggestion is "a heavy bodied Jamaican or Martinique". This looks like it makes about 150 ounces, so I've called it 28 x 5 oz punch cups.

History

His great granddaughter provided this recipe to the Dallas Times Herald. It looks updated but must have confused the heck out of 1980's Dallas.

William C commented on 3/15/2025:

I made this as written a few years ago, turned out fine but a bit bland, filed it away as an interesting technique. Playing with it again this week, I found the process forgiving enough to use a LOT less water to create a richer punch. I also threw a family size tea bag into the punch with the last measure of boiling water, stirred often and pulled it out after ten minutes rather than add more water in the form of tea. Steeped 18 hours with all ingredients except the milk, which can be left cold (per Dan Souza's experiments at Cook's Illustrated). Turned out fantastic, five stars after revisions.

(the) 3:10

1 1⁄2 oz Gin, Tanqueray Malacca
3⁄4 oz Walnut Liqueur (Pendray's)
1 1⁄2 oz Pomegranate juice
1⁄8 oz Sherry vinegar (Columela Solera 30 Reserva)
Instructions

Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into a frozen coupe glass.

Notes

1) The Sherry Vinegar is key, it will either underpower or overpower, your own particular palate will inform when you have the correct amount.
2) You do not want "vinegar." Rather, you want a big/huge/rich aged Sherry Vinegar. Find it on the internet for background info & understanding, and use it or an equivalent.

History

I was watching the movie "3:10 to Yuma" (1957) and was inspired by the theme song.
