Widow's Walk

1 1⁄2 oz Apple brandy, Lairds Bonded
3⁄4 oz Nocino (Or any other similar walnut liqueur)
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
1⁄2 oz Maple syrup (I used the real stuff from Canada. Try to find a thinner, high-quality syrup.)
4 ds Bitters, Angostura
1 pn Salt
Instructions

Shake everything vigorously over ice, then pour it straight up and serve.

Notes

Depending on your sweetness tolerance, you may want to reduce the syrup to 1/3 or even 1/4 ounce.

Viper Drop

1 1⁄2 oz Soju (I used Tokki)
1 oz Curaçao, Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao
3⁄4 oz Lime juice
1⁄4 oz Simple syrup
1⁄4 oz Campari (Add a good pinch of salt to the Campari and stir till it disolves, then set aside until the end.)
Instructions

Shake everything with ice except for the salted Campari. Strain into a glass, then pour the salted Campari over the cocktail (the Campari will sink, creating a vivid red layer at the bottom of the drink).

Notes

Salting the Campari is vital! Counterintuitively, adding a nice pinch of salt to Campari makes it sweeter and rounds out the flavor. It also makes the drinker salivate a little, giving the drink a richer impression.

History

I created this one after trying the Beta Cocktails "Campari Martini." I wanted to integrate salted bitter liqueur into a crowd-pleasing cocktail, and I think the Viper Drop hits the mark.

  • The Makrut is a nice touch but it's subtle. The cocktail is tiny. Could definitely use more volume: probably could use a bit more syrup and definitely a bit more citrus.

Strong Campari aftertaste rounded and tamed by grape. Very pleasant but i really think it lacks something in.

Will make again.
