  • A solid Naked & Famous stand-in for bars hit by the Chartreuse shortage. I thought it was just serviceable (I love the Naked & Famous), but I have at least two guests who called it their "favorite Bartender's Choice ever" —so it clearly works for agave-minded drinkers. Could be a money-maker for the right bar. — ★★★★
  • Nice riff on a Naked and Famous. I bumped the smokiness up after tasting by spritzing with some Laphroaig 10 yr. Well done!

OldFashionedCock commented on 8/17/2024:

Primarily sour. Subbed Lillet Blanc and was impressed it was present because it tends to disappear in most recipes I use. Next time I'll probably bump the Mezcal up to 1/2 oz to coax more smokiness out of it.

Jojiro commented on 4/11/2026:

If making for bartenders, it needs more smoke. See the spritz of Laphroaig and the bump of mezcal people want in the comments. If making for guests though, this recipe is pretty much in the sweet spot.

The Rata

1 1⁄2 oz Gin
1⁄2 oz Cherry Liqueur, Luxardo
1⁄4 oz Anisette
1⁄4 oz Orange flower water
1 oz Half-and-half
1 Egg white
Instructions

Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into a frozen coupe glass.

Notes

My intention is to get it a tad "orange-y" thus the orange blossom water amount can be adjusted to taste.

History

I was watching a favorite movie, Ratatouille, and imagined this one.

2 ds Peychaud's Bitters
1 twst Orange peel
Instructions

Combine ingredients in a mixing glass or cocktail shaker. Strain over a rocks glass filled with ice and garnish with the orange peel.

I first had this as a Dealer's Choice with Cynar substituted for the Averna. Equally as delicious as the original recipe, which I go back for every New Orleans trip.

  • Smooth, but with a bite. Don't skimp on the ice.
  • Tasty, sophisticated. End of the finish is a bit like numbing sore-throat spray (in a good way?!).

This is Chris’s continually evolving Rebennack under a new name. Not sure why the change, but very tasty no matter what you call it, much like Dr. John himself. 

Xtphe commented on 4/24/2021:

Delicious. The bartender from Arnaud Chris Hannah's flask concoction to go to the Krewe du Vieux Parade in New Orleans. I change Strega for Chartreuse, works fine too...

Shawn C commented on 1/12/2023:

Very nice, a clever Creole adjustment to the Black Manhattan recipe. The combo of the herbal Strega and Peychaud's provides a Sazarac-like twist to the Averna. The recipe is slightly odd with the 1.75 oz Bourbon summing to 2.75 oz of ingredients. I might suggest 2 oz Bourbon for simplicity and standard drink volumes. The other approach would be to double the Strega as the Imbibe recipe does, but that might drift toward too herbal (haven't tried it though...comments from those who have tried both?) And the Punch 3/4 oz Strega listing seems particularly heavy-handed in this respect--but it depends on what the mixer is after.

Dream Catcher

2 oz Bourbon, Buffalo Trace
1⁄2 oz Zucca
1⁄2 oz Strawberry syrup
1 oz Lemon juice
1 ds Rhubarb bitters, Fee Brothers (optional)
Instructions

Shakes all ingredients with ice, strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with a strawberry slice or lemon slice.

Notes

For the strawberry syrup, sous vide equal parts fresh strawberry juice and cane syrup at 135 degrees for 2 hours. Or just blend the juice and sugar until fully integrated for a cold pressed syrup. If you lack a juicer, you could also use the Imbibe pour over or a heated recipe, though the strawberry flavor won't be as pronounced.

  • Use 1/4 oz maple
  • Okay, but a bit overrated. Tried with less maple, added ango as suggested, but just not that special... could use some more fiddling...
  • This is good. I made as described. It felt like it was missing something. I added some ango and a spray of Laphroiag 10yr. I think next time I will decrease the maple syrup a little, keep ango and maybe Laphroiag.

I was out of Maple Syrup so used simple syrup. It's a nice aperitif-style cocktail with a tiny less ABV than normal.

I recommend serving this punch in a glass with ice instead of throwing ice cubes in the bowl.
Otherwise you'll lose quckly that sourness.
