The Target

1 1⁄2 oz Gin (Empress 1908 Gin)
3⁄4 oz Anisette
3⁄4 oz Campari
3⁄4 oz Half-and-half
Instructions

Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into a frozen coupe glass.

Notes

Use whipping cream or heavy whipping cream for even more "weight" and richness.

History

I just happened to see a bottle of Campari and wondered how it's "bitterness" might work in unison with the sweetness of Anisette. And the Empress Gin: I am a huge fan of Ink Gin which is available in Australia but not the USA .... so just last month I discovered Empress Gin and ..... (sigh) ....... nostalgia.

flickerdart commented on 7/09/2023:

A little tart but otherwise a nice variation on the French 75 formula.

Trial By Fire

1 1⁄2 oz Tequila, El Tesoro Platinum
3⁄4 oz Pineapple juice
1⁄2 oz Lemon juice
1⁄2 oz Simple syrup (Mango-Habanero)
3 dr Salt Solution (10% Saline Solution)
1 ds Bitters, Bittermens Hopped Grapefruit
Instructions

Shake, fine strain into a chilled coupe, garnish with manicured grapefruit swathe (no expression).

Notes

The pineapple and mango syrup provide an incredible texture with a deceptive foam on top often perceived as egg white. Also, utilizing a tohona milled tequila such as El Tesoro provides an even richer texture. It has a pleasant sweetness balanced out with acidity, the grassy notes from the agave, and a kiss of heat that remains consistent throughout rather than gradually increasing with each sip.

Curated this to clarify the creator of the original. 

Shawn C commented on 5/18/2023:

Rich but potent, well structured with lush berry/grape from the wine based amaro/aperitif, along with the maple and plethora of other warm and welcoming flavors. 4.5 out of 5 (only dinging half for how sweet it is) but rating a 5 because it didn't last long in my glass, and I am certain my wife will like this variation on a rich Black Manhattan theme.
