  • Next time I'd dial back the lime to 0.5 oz, but very good nonetheless. Upped the Chartreuse by 0.25 to re-balance, and that worked too!

Made with Genepi instead of Chartreuse. Haters will say they're totally different but it worked very well.

Extraction

2 oz Vodka (strawberry infused, see note)
1⁄2 oz Aromatized wine, Lillet Blanc
1⁄4 oz Orange liqueur, Grand Marnier
1 Strawberry (as garnish)
Instructions

Stir, up, garnish with strawberry on rim of martini glass

Notes

We rapid-infused the vodka with fresh strawberries, but mostly for fun; I'm not sure muddling and straining wouldn't have been at least as effective.

  • Used Beefeaters Gin and Bullet Rye — ★★★★★
  • One of my favorites. I use whatever Rye I have on hand in lieu of anything particularly Canadian. It’s a very well balanced drink and its a great way to introduce someone to Suze. — ★★★★
  • Made with Beefeater, American rye, and Amer Sauvage. As expected, the gentian was strident at first but became more likable. Aperol pulls peanut butter out of the whiskey. Whiskey + gin worked better than I expected.

Made with Forty Creek Barrel Select whisky, London Hill dry gin, and Contratto Bitter instead of the Aperol because that's all I had (it's too assertive, if you sub it then reduce the proportion). The first sip is definitely a powerful bitter punch but the sweetness of the Forty Creek shines through. I would never have believed that the drink contains no sweet liquors or vermouths!

Is the differentiation of this vs. just a normal "rum & tonic" the clarification of it being an añejo instead of just dark rum?

The muddled mint would be an even clearer differentiator. Rum and tonic but also mojito ancestry you could say.

  • I didn't have pear liqueur so played with this and did: 1.5 S+C, .5 Demerara 151, .5 lime, .5 homemade allspice dram, .25 orgeat, 2 dashes creole bitters, dash chinese 5 spice, flamed orange.
  • Needs some work on balance, and is very strong due to two overproof rums. Was trying to follow template for Jet Pilot and kept proportions exact, but could dial-back the rums and get a similar but more balanced result.
