Luck Be a Lady

2 oz Rye, High West Double Rye
3⁄4 oz Bigallet China-China
1⁄2 oz Rich demerara syrup 2:1
2 ds Chocolate bitters, Fee Brothers Aztec Chocolate
1 rinse Islay Scotch, Lagavulin 16
Instructions

Spritz or rinse a rocks glass with the Scotch and then add a large block of ice. Stir the remaining ingredients in a mixing glass and strain into the prepared glass, then add one final spritz of Scotch over the finished cocktail.

Notes

Fearing it would be too sweet, I only used about 1/2 tsp of Demerara syrup, which was plenty for my palate. Might omit the syrup altogether next time, as I prefer most cocktails on the drier side.

Replaced the Doctor Bird with S&C. Don’t know how accurate that is. Also used a pineapple syrup in place of the liqueur. Very nice even with these changes.

Himalaya

1 1⁄2 oz Cognac, Hennessy
1 oz Mango juice
1⁄2 oz Lemon juice
1⁄4 oz Orgeat
1⁄4 oz Water
1 ds Bitters, Bittermens Xocolatl Mole
Instructions

Shake with ice and fine strain to a coupe glass.

Notes

Tastes like a spicy and cinnamon-heavy mango lassi.

History

Fun story: this one was my entry to the Brazilian Bacardi Legacy. I failed to make the top 10, but I decided to give this one another go. The original used Bacardi Añejo, but while I was experimenting, I picked a bottle in the dark thinking it was Angostura 7, but I ended up with a brandy. I made the cocktail and thought it was great, prouded myself that all I needed was a better rum. Once I realized that I used brandy I couldn't get it out of my head. Original recipe also used 2 dashes of Angostura to simulate the spiciness from mango lassi, I replaced it for Bittermen's Xocolatl Mole bitters because I thought the combination matched better (chocolate + mango is a good combo, I almost swapped orgeat for chocolate liqueur). I also included a tad of water because the outcome was too thick to be normally strained, this initial dilution allows a better pour without ruining the wonderful mouthfeel.

  • Nice, although a tad sweet as spec'd. Next time I might make it a fat 1 oz for the Lairds or dial back the simple.

Thematically, this needs six drops of grenadine as well.
