On Holidays: I asked for a stirred drink. That's why i got.

Fransos commented on 10/26/2018:

Is it blanc or aged agricole? Will definitely have an impact on the finished drink.  

Craig E commented on 10/26/2018:

The linked reference specs Clement Première Canne, a blanc.

yarm commented on 12/29/2024:

Influenced by the liqueur combination of Cure's Drink of Laughter & Forgetting. I created it in my head on the walk home from my bar shift on National Artichoke Day (yes, it's a real holiday).

Funky Kong

1 oz Barbados Rum, Plantation 5 Year
1⁄2 oz Jamaican rum (I used Doctor Bird's. The funkier the better.)
1⁄2 oz Islay Scotch, Laphroaig
3⁄4 oz Lime juice
3⁄4 oz Crème de Banane, Tempus Fugit
1⁄4 oz Fernet Vallet
1 t Falernum, Velvet Falernum
1 pn Salt
Instructions

Toss everything into a shaker with ice and shake thoroughly. Serve in a tall tiki glass over ice with a straw,

Notes

You can tweak the spirit ratios to your preferences. I tend to pour a little heavy on the Rums and a little light on the Scotch.

History

I noticed that all three of these spirits (Plantation 5-Year, Doctor Bird, Laphroaig) had interesting, unique banana flavors, so I wanted to come up with a cocktail that tied together and highlighted those delicious tropical qualities. After a few failed attempts, I got the cocktail's balance just right. The Funky Kong was born.

San Francisco

1 oz Sloe gin
1 oz Sweet vermouth
1 oz Dry vermouth
2 ds Bitters, Angostura
2 ds Orange bitters
Instructions

Stir. Up. No garnish.

Notes

Original calls for 1 dash each of Angostura and orange bitters, and a cherry garnish. The recipe I first saw uses 2 dashes of each, which I think adds to the complexity of the drink.

History

Originally in the Cafe Royal Cocktail Book from 1937.
