Heart Full of Napalm

1 1⁄2 oz Mezcal, Sombra
1⁄2 oz Sweet vermouth, Carpano Punt e Mes
1⁄2 oz Amaro, CH Distillery
1⁄2 oz Amaro, CH Distillery (Bitter Dog)
1⁄4 oz Fernet, CH Distillery (Fernet-Dogma)
1 ds Bitters, Scrappy's Grapefruit
1 twst Grapefruit peel
Instructions

Stir, strain into old fashioned glass with a large cube or sphere. Garnish with grapefruit peel.

Notes

Uses three amari from Chicago-based CH Distillery (Chi-town represent!), which aren't available nationwide as far as I know. Closest substitutes are probably Cynar 70 for the CH Amaro, 50/50 split of Campari & Zucca for the Bitter Dog and Fernet Branca for the Fernet-Dogma.

History

Named after a lyric from The Stooge's classic punk song "Search and Destroy"

  • I like it. I plan to dial down the Fernet to 1 tsp on my next try with this drink. But close to great with the above proportions.

  • Works with Zucca subbing in for Cynar.
  • Good. I've seen other recipes (Difford's) for 1 2/3 silver cachaca, .5 vermouth and .5 cynar. I think I like that ratio better. Also have subbed in Ramazzotti with nice results - careful on that though, can be a tad sweet.

  • Pillars of Society — Sweet vermouth, Cynar, Curaçao, Absinthe, Lemon peel
  • L'Iguana — Jamaican rum, Haitian Rum, Cynar, Bonal Gentiane Quina, Lemon juice, Salt, Mint

We went with 2oz cachaca, 1/2 each cynar, and sweet vermouth. Still too sweet for me, improved half way down by adding a drop of coffee bitters, a dash of angostura, and an ice cube. The bottom was subsequently delicious with the garnish marinating in it.

Violeta Ahumado

1⁄2 oz Blanco tequila
1⁄2 oz Mezcal
1 oz Dry vermouth
1 oz Aromatized wine, Cocchi Americano
1 t Crème de Violette
1 twst Lemon peel
Instructions

Stir, strain, up, garnish.

Notes

A riff on Carrie Cole's Adelita [which is mezcal-free and calls for Reposado].

Dan commented on 9/28/2017:

An unusual and interesting drink. Much lighter than one might think. Might be interesting with more spirit-forward ratios.

I agree with Dan's comments. This would benefit from being a little brighter-- maybe the lemon twist needs to be more substantial than the one I used
