Monkey Business - Momofuku

3⁄4 oz Spiced Rum, Sailor Jerry
3⁄4 oz Jamaican rum, Wray & Nephew Overproof
1⁄2 oz Crème de Banane, Giffard (Banane du Brésil)
1⁄4 oz Maraschino Liqueur, Luxardo
Instructions

Combine all ingredients in mixing glass/tin. Stir with ice, then strain over large rock in a lowball. Garnish with lime peel.

Notes

The banana and maraschino provide a smooth offramp from the Wray & Nephew. Great way to introduce someone to overproof Jamaican rum. And extremely batch-friendly!

St. Katherine

1 1⁄2 oz Vodka (or dry gin)
1 1⁄2 oz Elderflower liqueur, St. Germain
3 ds Orange bitters
3⁄4 oz Simple syrup (Lingonberry)
Instructions

Combine, stir with ice, strain over new ice in rocks glass or up in a coupe. Garnish with expressed orange peel or rosemary sprig if yr fancy

Notes

This was originally mixed with vodka ad hoc. A floral or junipery gin would likely add a pleasant dimension. The combination of fruit and flower are the real heroes here.

History

This is an original thrown together from what we had in the bar on New Year's Eve in 2017. Named for St. Catherine of Vadstena, after the inclusion of St. Germain and Swedish fruit concentrate—and mixed at the request of a patron named Katherine—this drink keeps coming back around as a notably delicious expression of unique ingredients.

  • Clear citrusy nose. Tingly sip with a nice balance of acid and sweet. A hint of peach in here too. In the finish the sharpness becomes more recognizable as vinegar.

Pikotaro

2 oz Pineapple rum
1⁄4 oz Crème de Banane
1⁄4 oz Fernet Branca
1⁄8 oz Demerara syrup (1:1)
1 rinse Absinthe (As rinse)
Instructions

Stir with ice and strain into an absinthe-rinsed old fashioned glass.

History

While flipping through Death & Co.'s Welcome Home book, I spotted the Lost Horizon that made me recall the Banana Toronto at Offsuit. That inspired me to use the Fernet-crème de banane duo, and I fused the idea with two Sazerac variations – namely, Trina's Starlite Lounge's Stigginserac and Death & Co.'s Bananarac. The pineapple part made me think of the "Pen Pineapple Apple Pen" song, so I dubbed this one after its artist Pikotaro.

Fistuk's house

2 oz Peach liqueur, Suntory Kanade white peach
3⁄4 oz Pistachio liqueur, Bottega crema di pistacchi
1⁄4 oz Apricot liqueur, Giffard abricot du Roussillon
Instructions

Stir thoroughly (you wanna mix the cream liqueur in properly but without diluting the whole thing and loosing texture). Strain into a Nick & Nora. No garnish

Notes

Another example of letting the ingredients do the work for you. It is crucial to use these (sadly expensive) specific ingredients. Will not vouch for the outcome of any other combo.

I’m afraid I had only one of these exact ingredients (the apricot liqueur) but the peach and pistachio liqueurs I did made it work nonetheless
