Tried this with Rittenhouse and Laird's Apple Brandy. It's quite good.

Decreased the cinnamon syrup to 0.25 oz - it tended to dominate.

  • Pleasant- a bit thin. Used Pierre Ferrand 1840.

  • Letter to a Younger Self — Scotch, Apple brandy, Aromatized wine, Orange liqueur, Fernet Branca, Orange peel

  • Maurice — Rye, Aromatized wine, Amère Sauvage, Sweet vermouth
  • Lovecraft in Brooklyn — Rye, Jamaican rum, Aromatized wine, Madeira, Grapefruit bitters, Bitters, Orange peel

I agree with a previous comment about being 'thin'. Maybe swap amaro/vermouth quantities? But it's pleasant anyway.

To Sit

1 1⁄2 oz Blended Scotch
3⁄4 oz Spiced Rum, Wigle
1⁄2 oz Averna
1⁄4 oz Crème de Cacao
Instructions

Build over a big cube of ice in a rocks glass. Gently swirl.

Notes

I feel like the Wigle spiced rum is pretty essential, as it's easily the best spiced rum I've ever had. Even better if you have the oaked version.

History

I wanted a different after-dinner drink with scotch.

Millennial Pink

1 3⁄8 oz Rum, Plantation (Barbados 2000)
1⁄2 oz Aperol
2 t Peychaud's Bitters
2 ds Bitters (Thyme)
1 1⁄2 oz Cream
1 t Simple syrup
Instructions

Place all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker. Fill it with ice then shake well and double strain into a coupe glass.

Notes

If unable to find thyme bitters, try shaking up with a sprig of fresh thyme. A different rum can be used, but I liked the neatness of using one from the year 2000.

History

Inspired by an obsession with this soft, dreamy colour and wanting to recreate it in cocktail form.

Added a bit of velvet falernum to sweeten it a little as slight bitter notes from ginger -probably more refreshing in summer than cold November in England!

Miramar

2 oz Rum, Havana Club 7
3⁄4 oz Strega
1⁄2 oz Cynar
1 bsp Rum, Smith & Cross (As float)
1 twst Lemon zest
Instructions

Stir with ice, strain over big rock. Float Smith & Cross; twist lemon and drop in.

Notes

Ideally use Cuban rum for the base but feel free to experiment with others (Appleton 12 should be great). Miramar is a suburb of Havana; it's also the Wellington suburb where our movie industry is based (and which I can see from my lounge).

History

Inspired by the Havana, by Giancarlo Jesus of the Hawthorn Lounge.

  • Delicious! Love the rum on rum.
  • Will probably need subbed rum
  • "Round and brown" is a good descriptor. I used El Dorado 8 which maybe overemphasized the caramel flavors the Cynar was already bringing.
