3⁄4 oz Sweet vermouth (Lustau)
1⁄8 oz Fernet Branca
1⁄8 oz Simple syrup (Chinotto soda simple syrup)

Notes

Wood notes of brandy and rum mix very well.
I wanted to use Punt e Mes instead of classic vermouth but had any bottle on hand.

History

Pretty much like vieux carré kind of drinks with split spirit base.

Doge Hat

2 oz Nardini Tagliatella
1⁄2 oz Bourbon, Old Grand Dad 114 (as float)
Instructions

In a double Old Fashioned glass full of cracked ice add Tagliatella and tonic, stir to combine, float Bourbon.

Notes

Nardini Tagliatella is a blend of grappa, cherry distillate, bitter orange, herbs and spices. At 70 proof, it's got an interesting chocolate note and while it's fruity, it's not cloying.

Stormy Classic

2 oz Rhum Agricole (Black Sheriff)
1⁄2 oz Lime juice
1⁄3 oz Yuzu juice
1⁄3 oz Cane syrup (Rich syrup 2:1)
Instructions

Shake long with lot of ice, strain, crazy chilled coupe.

Must be black sheriff and cane sugar.

Fat 1/3 syrup, nearly 1/2 oz.
Tried 1/3 and it did not worked, then added a couple of dashes more, boom, tropical

Notes

Heavy tropical notes, fabulous... Passion fruit, pineapple
Without any kind of real modifier.

I really think this is an alchemy between this rum, yuzu and proper amount of cane sugar.

Cane sugar syrup: 2 parts powdered sugar cane + 1 part hot water.

History

I lived in the same block of the bar for 5 years. No comment...

We moved not far from the previous point, came back to the bar, and all the staff we knew was no longer in service !
The barman asked for what i needed tonight. I ordered a Daiquiri kind but not girly.
I took a sip, and wow, i asked for the ingredients.
When he told me he just add yuzu juice i did not believe him!

I cleaned up the History a little bit for clarity. HSE (Habitation Ste. Etienne) makes the rum which can be found in limited amounts in NYC evidently. Thanks,  Zachary

Extremely smooth for a drink with an oz each of Peychaud's and lemon without that much simple. Used Old Tom. I like it a lot but also feel like it's missing a very small amount of.....something? A teaspoon of Campari or dry curacao or maraschino could be good.


Fontoura

1 oz Cachaça, Novo Fogo (A good silver cachaça will do.)
1⁄2 oz Cachaça, Avúa Amburana (Any good amburana-aged cachaça will do.)
1⁄4 oz Lime juice
1⁄4 oz Simple syrup
Instructions

Shake all ingredients with ice and strain to a rocks glass with ice. Garnish with a grapefruit twist.

Notes

Starts with a mellow cane flavor from the cachaça blend that fades away to allow the bitterness of Amaro Montenegro and grapefruit to cover the mouthfeel.
