The Kerouac

1 1⁄2 oz Rye
1 oz Tawny port, Taylor (Taylor Fladgate 10 year)
1⁄2 oz Amaro Nonino
Instructions

Stir, strain, pour over rocks

Notes

I was playing around with a 3-2-1 ratio Negroni type combination and thought "What would Kerouac mix up?" Maybe the amaro Nonino would be too fancy for him (and too modern) but I thought it was mellow enough to work well with port and rye. I chose rye, but might want to try other whiskeys. ** Update ** After remaking this a few years later I decided it was too sweet for me, so add 1 oz campari to make it more like a Negroni and less like a Manhattan.

Really good. Smokey, sweet, and lime, what's to not like? I didn't have Allspice Dram so I added a few dashes of Bitters, which worked. Without it it was slightly lacking.

Made this with the leftover almond milk from making orgeat. Good drink, bit on the light and tart side (I was expecting it to be heavier!.) There are certainly many worse things you can do with your leftover almond milk.

1⁄8 oz Elderflower liqueur, St. Germain
1⁄8 t Fernet Branca
1⁄4 oz Lemon juice
Instructions

Use fresh white grapefruit not pink. Shake and strain. Serve up with rainier cocktail cherry

Notes

Using the base spirit formula from the classic fog cutter but with white grapefruit replacing sour mix. The St Germain with a whisper of Fernet keeps the grapefruit bitterness forward.

  • 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.
