Stir; strain; rocks; garnish.
Also works as a spritz with some soda.
Shake with ice, strain into a cocktail coupe, and garnish with a grapefruit twist.
Lime, grassy, grape, rhum funk, bitter, and green tea tannins.
Created at Loyal Nine in November/December 2016. For a name, I twas inspired by Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and dubbed it after the resting place of Captain Nemo.
Stir, strain into coupe or Nick & Nora glass. I typically don't garnish this, but you could do a dehydrated pear slice or pear fan if you're feeling fancy.
The St. George Spiced Pear Liqueur is quite dry with a nice underpinning of holiday baking spices, and the Rothman is sweeter but quite earthy, so this is a nice combination of pear flavors. If you want something more boozy, split the dry vermouth base with cognac.
Was working on Chrysanthemum riffs to use up a bunch of open dry vermouth (and low ABV cocktails are not really my jam), but I was pleasantly surprised how flexible the base recipe is for experimentation and with this pear forward, autumn/winter riff in particular.
Whip shake, pour into a Collins glass, fill with crushed ice, and garnish with a mint bouquet.
My Italian take on the Polynesian Paralysis using a Ferrari (Fernet-Campari) as the spirit; I named it the Dolce Far Niente meaning "sweet doing nothing/sweet idleness" which sounded classier than the Italian Paralysis.
I had just made one of the older recipes and was inspired to tinker. And amaro tiki is fun!
Mix all ingredients without ice until pomegranate molasses fully dissolves, then serve over a big cube in a rocks glass
Umeshu and Nikka whiskey go together like butter and bread. A little added sweetness and tartness from the pomegranate molasses takes the combination to the next level (you can add more of the molasses if you prefer a more tart drink)
Serve as cold as possible, with as little dilution as possible.
Freshly rinse a Nick & Nora or sherry glass with the creme de menthe and express orange oil.
Works best if you make/have a sharp, peppery allspice dram and a perky white creme de menthe (spearmint + peppermint + orange mint)
A humorous mashup of the classic Polar Bear and the Nannie Dee.
I'm catching up, posting old cocktails from nearly a decade ago. Have made many of them recently and they feel like old friends.
Shake & strain into a coupe
Inspired by the Resolute Cocktail 1937
Shake with ice; double strain. Garnish with orange & lime twists.
Inspired by Mariano Licudine's Derby Daiquiri.
Dilute honey in rye and pastis. Long stir with ice, strain in coupe.
Do a dry shake then shake vigorously with ice
It's a very decadent sour.. a little sweet for my tastes though it's pleasant and balanced.
Fantastic with green spot and a great summer whiskey drink.
