That absinthe brand sounds great but I only had verte and blanche at home. Used Viex Carre and was pretty good.

Is the differentiation of this vs. just a normal "rum & tonic" the clarification of it being an añejo instead of just dark rum?


Craig E commented on 4/09/2018:

The muddled mint would be an even clearer differentiator. Rum and tonic but also mojito ancestry you could say.

  • I didn't have pear liqueur so played with this and did: 1.5 S+C, .5 Demerara 151, .5 lime, .5 homemade allspice dram, .25 orgeat, 2 dashes creole bitters, dash chinese 5 spice, flamed orange.
  • Needs some work on balance, and is very strong due to two overproof rums. Was trying to follow template for Jet Pilot and kept proportions exact, but could dial-back the rums and get a similar but more balanced result.

  • Made with 1/4 FB and 3/4 CdB per comments. Perhaps halfway between that and the original spec would be the sweet spot, but the promise of this feels limited.
  • Ok, but use 1/4 oz Fernet and 3/4 banana, otherwise fernet dominates and banana is lost.
  • Mostly tastes like Fernet.

The Basco

1 1⁄2 oz Gin, Citadelle
1 1⁄2 oz Campari
3⁄4 oz Fernet Branca
Instructions

Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into a frozen coupe glass.
Optional garnish: an orange twist.

Notes

I had expected the flavor to be a bit more bitter, but for a first experiment I found it quite smooth, as did a few others who tried a taste.

History

I was in my favorite restaurant in Chino, CA and wanted "something bitter" using Fernet Branca. The bartender had no ideas, so I decided a riff on the Negroni would be interesting.

Like a lot of cocktails I'm trying, especially ones where people say the fernet dominates, Fernet Vallet fills in very nicely without overpowering.....just not nearly as much mint, which some might dislike.

Tiger Lily

2 oz Gin, Plymouth
1⁄2 oz Lychee liqueur, Gabriel Boudier (Litchi)
1⁄2 oz Chinese five spice syrup
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
Instructions

Shake with ice, strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with a single star anise seed.

Notes

For the Chinese 5 spice syrup combine 1 cup each water and demerara sugar with toasted 5 spice ingredients (.5 tbsp cloves, 1 tbsp Szechuan peppercorn & fennel seeds, 2 tbsp star anise, 1 cracked cinnamon stick). Sous vide for 2 hours at 145 degrees, plunge into ice bath, strain and bottle. Add .25 oz overproof vodka if desired to extend shelf life. Alternately use 3 tbsp of quality 5 spice powder. Or there are also several stove top recipes for 5 spice syrup available online.
