  • It would be hard for this drink to live up its (incredible!) name. This one is truly good! Use a richer grenadine in place of syrup.

Fortune Favors the Bold

3⁄4 oz Jamaican rum, Smith & Cross
3⁄4 oz Amargo-Vallet
3⁄4 oz Fernet, Letherbee
3⁄4 oz Allspice Dram, St. Elizabeth
1 Lemon peel
Instructions

Stir, strain into old fashioned glass with a large cube or sphere or a Nick & Nora glass. Garnish with an expressed lemon swath.

Notes

Fernet Branca is a bit of a bully in this drink, so if Letherbee Fernet isn't available, I'd recommend either another, slightly less intense fernet or a split of say Branca and Nardini. The Bitter Truth Allspice Dram is drier with a stronger allspice taste than the St. Elizabeth, if using the former, try maybe .5 oz and .25 oz demerara syrup.
Part of my ongoing "4 parts, equal parts, stirred" series.

  • Used Cardamaro instead of Amaro Montenegro. Had only Yellow Chartreuse. Expected a very potent-tasting drink, but actually tastes very sweet. — ★★★★
  • The menu on DP's website lists the ingredients of: Rye Cardamaro Dry Vermouth Chartreuse Verte

Exactly. I was expecting spirit forward dry drink. Actually quite sweet, but not in a cloying way.

Artur B commented on 3/29/2026:

Too sweet. Less amaro and chartreuse I think.

Shawn C commented on 3/30/2026:

Is this the actual recipe circa 2019? Or is it a guestimate of it (e.g. likely altered rather than authentic?) I haven't tried it, but at first read it looks unbalanced (sweet) as an equal parts. The undated note above says that the menu listed rye, cardamaro, dry vermouth, chartreuse verte; and the 2023 menu (online) says "Rye, Amaro, Dry Vermouth, Chartreuse Verte." So the establishment might be varying the amaro used; but I do wonder if the original used green rather than yellow chartreuse.

Airbag

1 oz Reposado Tequila
1⁄2 oz Batavia Arrack
1⁄2 oz Mezcal
3⁄4 oz Sweet vermouth
1⁄4 oz Allspice Dram
1⁄4 oz Bénédictine
1 ds Chocolate bitters
Instructions

Stir with ice, serve up

Notes

Can also be made with .75 oz tequila and .75 oz mezcal, if you favor a bit more smoke. Went over very well as an aperitif

  • Made with blanco tequila but aged mezcal, and Dolin and xocolatl bitters. I'm floored that 1/4 oz of my homemade dram didn't take over. Nice finish.

applejack commented on 12/19/2019:

I remember making this years ago (maybe a decade?). This is a Phil Ward creation.  Sweet vermouth is Carpano Antica, Allspice Dram is St. Elizabeth and bitters (I've seen builds with 2 dashes) are Bittermens Xocolatl Mole Bitters.  Garnish is a lit Laphroaig Cask Strength soaked cherry.

lesliec commented on 12/31/2019:

Curated: corrected vermouth amount to match source.

The Cause

1 3⁄4 oz Irish whiskey, Redbreast (It'd probably work with something slightly less pricey)
3⁄4 oz Dry vermouth, Dolin
1⁄3 oz Bruto Americano, St. George (scant)
Instructions

Stir, strain, and serve straight up. No garnish.

Notes

The rosemary notes in the Bruto Americano and the Dolin Dry amplify each other, making for a pretty unique drink! This one's great if you're into more savory herbal flavors.

aredridel commented on 12/12/2019:

Mastika is the liqueur made from the resin of the gum mastic tree, found near Chios, Greece. There's several brands available in the United States. It's sweet, so the sour and soda help cut it a bit, but the piney, resinous flavor makes a unique drink. I serve these at cocktail nights and always get requests for more.
