History

Babette's Supper Club was a popular drinking/entertainment spot in Atlantic City during Prohibition. It is featured prominently in the HBO series Boardwalk Empire. This cocktail has no connection to the spot other than I enjoy the HBO show and wanted to name the creation after this locale.

Lamuya commented on 7/07/2021:

I didn't have the exact same ingredients, but I tried a variation with
1 1⁄2 oz bourbon (Maker's Mark)
1⁄2 oz Bittermens Citron Sauvage (a grapefruit bitter liqueur that has both bitterness and surprising acidity, so I skipped the bitters and twist)
1⁄2 oz Cynar (what I had on hand)
1⁄2 oz Ancho Reyes chili liqueur (definitely try adding this if you have it)
and it was really delicious!

1 ds Orange cream citrate

Notes

Rhubarb syrup: 4 stalks, peel rhubarb, chop, heat with 7 oz water, let boil, and rhubarb get to the point of purée. Strain, then strain again with coffee flter. Add same volume sugar. Bottle. Fridge.

Rhubarb tartness is going to vanish slowly after a week. Maybe some malic or citric acid could remedy to the problem.

JakGrabit commented on 12/30/2022:

Made with 1.5 ounces Slivovitz and 0.5 oz dambuie. Left out the grenadine. Used Hellfire Shrub and Pooter Smoke and Salt bitters instead of Peychauds - salt was a plus; smoke was not. Probably could have used lemon peel. Agree with other user: too sweet, but there's something there with teh Slivovitz and Dambuie. Tried a variation with Amaretto - no bueno.


A.Martini commented on 12/30/2022:

Thank you very much JakGrabit. Maybe a Laphroaig float instead of grenadine? hmm...


Caribé Sour

1⁄4 oz Virgin Islands Rum, Cruzan Blackstrap
1⁄4 oz Bitters, Angostura
3⁄4 oz Hibiscus Liqueur, FruitLab
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
3⁄4 oz Egg white
Instructions

Dry shake, wet shake, strain into a chilled coupe. No garnish.

Notes

Lime juice also works well if you want a slightly more tart, less sweet option.
St. Elizabeth and Hamilton are considerably sweeter than The Bitter Truth pimento dram, so if using those you'd probably need to use lime and up the citrus to 1 oz.
