  • For me, it's ok. I'm always looking for something to use my ZIRBENZ STONE PINE LIQUEUR...so I'm a little lenient on this. I think it's possible to adjust improve. Maybe chartreuse instead of elderflower?

Shawn C commented on 11/22/2022:

This is a great drink, well balanced. Pleasant pine/cedar and elderflower floral flavors balanced with the juniper/herbal character of the gin. Not sweet, not bitter, not too much alcohol heat, just right while having some intriguing flavor. The Peychaud's works to compliment the rest.

Weston

2 oz Bourbon
1⁄2 oz Coffee syrup
3 ds Peychaud's Bitters
Instructions

Stir, strain into old fashioned glass with a large cube or sphere. Garnish with a few spritzes of pipe tobacco essence from an atomizer.

Notes

Bourbon used has been listed in differing places as Weller 12 Year, Four Roses Private Single Barrel and Weller 107 Antique (seems to be the current choice).

For the coffee syrup, blend equal parts Dark Matter Unicorn Blood Espresso Blend (or similar) with demerara sugar.

For the pipe tobacco essence, macerate pipe tobacco (Queen Mary blend or other low nicotine blend) in high proof grain alcohol for a few days. I macerate mine in 151 Demerara rum for a bit more flavor.

bza commented on 3/02/2021:

This drink is a masterpiece. On Punch it is garnished with an orange peel, was that an update or is this recipe incorrect? Regardless, I'll try it with a grapefruit peel next time.

Zachary Pearson commented on 3/02/2021:

Curated this - added link to the Punch article and changed grapefruit swath to orange swath (cut into a carrot for extra points) - any idea where the very specific instructions come from? Punch is not so picky. And bravo to anyone who has the carrot eau de vie! Thanks,  Zachary

applejack commented on 3/27/2021:

I believe I got the recipe from the licensed_to_distill Instagram account, which posted it before the Punch article.  Not sure which garnish is correct; when I made it I used a grapefruit swath and had the carrot eau-de-vie on hand, and it was quite good.

Kindred Cocktails commented on 3/06/2019:

Since 3 oz into the mixing glass makes a nice sized drink, maybe re-scale to 1oz each? Would make the recipe more beautiful too. This sounds good to me. I'm trying it tonight with Amer Boudreau.

Shawn C commented on 5/16/2023:

Note: I made this as 1:1:1 oz w/ 2 dashes of Amargo Chuncho for a standard volume drink.

This is an interesting combination with the Mezcal's earthy/smokiness, Amer Picon's orange/coffee ground bitter, and Punt e Mes' amaro bitter all weighted toward a darker bitterness, balanced by some rich flavors. I used Amer Picon black label which has a dark, strong coffee ground bitterness to it and less of the common amaro balance. The Amargo Chuncho bitters work here by lending a slight orange blossom nose on top of the other strong aromas. The drink stands out as a pleasant but dark bitter cocktail balanced by sweet vermouth. As is, I put it as between 3.5 and 4 out of 5 stars.

I will retry this with Bigallet China-China Amer in place of Amer Picon. I most often prefer the broader and less dark/bitter nature of Bigallet orange amaro as a sub for Amer Picon, and I am curious as to how it will work here. I go through Bigallet much more rapidly than Picon.

Shawn C commented on 5/22/2023:

I re-made this substituting Bigallet China-China Amer for the Amer Picon. For me this dials the drink in perfectly, a solid 4+.

Instructions

Combine all ingredients in mixing glass. Add ice and stir. Strain into double old fashioned glass. Add fresh ice and garnish with orange swath.

Short stir if adding fresh ice. You can also build this right into a double old fashioned glass and add ice and stir as a standard Negroni or serve up. I prefer serving over large format ice such as along cube or sphere.
