Stranger Thing

1 1⁄2 oz Jamaican rum, Wray & Nephew Overproof
1⁄3 oz Cognac VSOP
1⁄4 oz Dry vermouth (Mulassano)
1⁄2 oz Gran Classico (Fat)
1⁄3 oz Herbal liqueur, Elixir Vegetal de la Grande Chartreuse
1⁄8 oz Orange flower water
3 ds Lavender bitters, Scrappy's
5 lf Sage
Instructions

Muddle sage with rum. Mix other ingredients, very long stir, strain, frozen coupe

Notes

Wanted something dry with white overproof rum, and strong floral notes with subtle sweetness.

I Like it dry like listed in the recipe.

But i ve been uping amounts little by little and for a sweeter palate maybe this ratio Will be better:
3/4 gan classico, 1/3 dry vermouth, 1/4 orange flower water.

Both are very different drinks.

Will try sage next infused Overproof.

  • Had to adapt: Had no Gran Classico: used Monte San Costanzo Amaro. Used yellow chartreuse instead of green. Skipped the orange flower water. Had no lavender bitters: used a teaspoon of creme de violette for two drinks. — ★★★★

Used Zamaro which is similar to gran classic, and regular green chartreuse with Dolin dry vermouth, should have had a fatter pour or Zamaro but it was delicious and subdued very good! 

sfnyc commented on 6/25/2021:

I don't think of sage pairing with rum (as least not as well as it does with gin), but this works -- maybe the cognac provides a bridge. I ended up adding 1/2 tsp gomme syrup to open it up a bit, but it also worked without.

This sounds like - take 4 things in everyone's house that no one uses and make something out of it. But it's REALLY GOOD! Just a nice balance of flavors. 

drinkingandthinking commented on 3/30/2024:

Shockingly good and well balanced. Pleasantly mild, unlike its apocalyptic moniker. I used Brennivin as the aquavit.

illusionistlynx commented on 3/20/2025:

Great balance overall. Made with Svol aquavit (yellow bottle, Swedish style) which was very enjoyable, even if it does overpower the Jägermeister a bit.

Islavardier

2⁄3 oz Islay Scotch, Laphroaig 10
2⁄3 oz Sweet vermouth, Carpano Punt e Mes
2⁄3 oz Averna
1 bsp Herbal liqueur, Chartreuse
1 twst Orange peel (as garnish)
Instructions

Build all ingredients in an old fashioned glass. Stir with ice and garnish with an orange twist.

Notes

The punt e mes is necessary in this due to its added bitterness. The drink doesn’t quite work with most other sweet vermouths.

  • Too sweet for me and not enough biterness from the punt e mes to balance it out.
  • Lagavulin for Islay scotch. Very nice. I didn't have Punt e Mes...so used 1/3 Vitorre Sweet Vermouth and 1/3 Campari. — ★★★★★
  • An awesome boulevardier riff that uses the smoke of Laphroaig in an interesting way with the Averna. Great after a meal or as a nightcap! — ★★★★★

Craig E commented on 2/21/2019:

Is the "chartreuse" specified here Green Chartreuse?

Pangolindo commented on 2/21/2019:

I confirm, does not work with Cocchi Torino.

Or maybe also because of izarra green i've used instead of Chartreuse.

 

noksagt commented on 2/22/2019:

Cocchi's equivalent would be Dopo Teatro Vermouth Amaro. It seems to work with that, though it is still a bit sweet for my personal taste. I might propose switching to a green Chartreuse rinse.

Kindred Cocktails commented on 2/22/2019:

Excellent. I used Green Chartreuse and the other ingredients exactly as specified. Delightful balance. For a less sweet drink, I'd split the Punt e Mes 50/50 with dry vermouth.

  • Bitter, sweet and refreshing. Could be drank as a great aperitif or as a celebratory drink. The bitterness of the Campari plays well with the dry effervescence of the champagne. — ★★★★★

A.Martini commented on 3/15/2023:

Sparkling wine and Campari is an aperitif drunk in all the bars of Italy for over a century. In my city it's called Chiodino, meaning little nail.
This is because the carefully poured Campari penetrates like a nail into the wine.
