Blood from a Stone

1 1⁄2 oz Bourbon, Wild Turkey 101
1⁄2 oz Earl Grey Tea Syrup
1⁄4 oz Strawberry juice (or muddled strawberry)
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
8 dr Bitters, Brooklyn Hemispherical Bitters Black Mission Fig (Optional)
Instructions

Shake all ingredients with ice for 15 seconds, strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with dehydrated lemon wheel.

Notes

I use an Omega Vert juicer to make the strawberry juice for quicker service, alternately you could muddle a sliced strawberry. Though I prefer this with strawberry, it also works well with blackberries, blueberries, or other seasonal berries instead.

Gin & Juice & 'Treuse

1 3⁄4 oz Gin, Citadelle
1⁄4 oz Herbal liqueur, Green Chartreuse
1⁄2 oz Chinese five spice syrup
3⁄4 oz Pineapple juice
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
Instructions

Shake with ice for 15 seconds, strain into an iced Collin glass. Garnish with pineapple or lemon wedge.

Notes

Also works well with cinnamon syrup or falernum instead of the Chinese 5 spice syrup.

For the Chinese 5 spice syrup combine 1 cup each water and demerara sugar with toasted 5 spice ingredients (.5 tbsp cloves, 1 tbsp each Szechuan peppercorn & fennel seeds, 2 tbsp star anise, 1 cracked cinnamon stick). Sous vide for 2 hours at 145 degrees, plunge into ice bath, strain and bottle. Add .25 oz overproof vodka if desired to extend shelf life. Alternately use 3 tbsp of quality 5 spice powder. Or there are also several stove top recipes for 5 spice syrup available online.

History

Created by David Wondrich for Fatty Crab in Manhattan and named as a joke after a fictitious British officers' club (like the Pegu Club), but apparently there is an actual Poona Club in India. See NYT link for history. Wondrich gives his proportions in a tweet (also linked).

Dirty Flyer

1 1⁄2 oz Gin (gin infused with olive brine (see Notes))
1⁄2 oz Crème de Violette
3⁄4 oz Grapefruit juice (Ruby Red)
1⁄8 oz Sherry vinegar (Columela Solera 30 Reserva)
1⁄2 oz Lavender syrup
1 Egg white
Instructions

Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into a frozen coupe glass.
Garnish with a tiny sprinkle of ground cinnamon.

Notes

1. The Gin. I bought a jar of Moroccan-style olives, poured out all of the brine, refilled the jar with gin, and let it "steep" for at least a week.
2. The Grapefruit. This particular grapefruit has a tiny bit of sweetness.
3. The sherry vinegar. I found this particular "high performance" version a few years ago and it really makes a difference. You don't want "vinegar." Rather, you want a very flavorful Sherry vinegar.

Zachary Pearson commented on 7/12/2019:

Is that simple syrup, Chinotto, or simple made out of Chinotto? Thanks,  Zachary

Pangolindo commented on 7/12/2019:

Hi Zachary,  it's a simple made of chinotto soda and cane sugar.

I've just edited the recipe.
