Wanted to try again my own recipe today. But had no citrus, nor white choc' liqueur and boler's at home:
Chartreuse verte, 2 dashes bittermen's orange cream citrate bitter, 2 dashes torrefied cocoa nib tincture, and 1 dash cheseapeek bay bitters from bitter end. Grappa is pushed front by the ingredients. Lovely...

Cassis Party #2

1 2⁄3 oz Blanco tequila

1⁄2 oz Cynar
2 t Orgeat
2 t Cassis
2 t Pepper tincture (Red Kampot infused gin)
2 t Absinthe (green)
Instructions

Mix, shake and strain in coupe

Notes

Red kampot pepper is damn hot and very aromatic.
Combination of orgeat, cynar, absinthe give a very appealing taste.
A bit sweet.

The drink tasted very different all along the test.

Maybe serving on rocks will keep temperature more stable and taste too

History

Wanted something different with tequila using both cassis and cynar

  • Had to make some substitutions but happy with the end result. Lavender / sea salt syrup and rhubarb bitters, cap corso rather than quina.

Tried this one yesterday without the lavender garnish.

Quiet good and interesting.

Rye pairs well with lavender, both mix into something "New".

Will do again

City Bird

2 oz Rhum Agricole, Neisson blanc
1 oz Lemon juice
1⁄2 oz Campari
1⁄4 oz Triplum, Luxardo
1⁄2 oz Prosecco (to top)
1 Lemon peel (as garnish)
Instructions

Combine first four ingredients in shaker over cracked ice. Prepare a collins glass with a horse's neck garnish and cracked ice. Shake and strain into the glass; Top with a 1/2 oz prosecco (club soda is an acceptable substitute) for texture.

Notes

A drier, lighter take on the Jungle Bird. Effervescent, notes of summer grass and a splendid pink hue. Luxardo Triplum is essential to the taste of this drink, as it has a slightly nutty/pithy flavor that works well with Neisson and Campari. (Cointreau is too sweet.) If Luxardo Triplum is not available, the Luxardo Apricot works well.

History

Created as a variation of the classic Jungle Bird; the City Bird also works as a lighter, "session" counterpart to the rich blackstrap version Giuseppe Gonzalez popularized in NYC a couple of years later. We used this on a summer menu back in 2011.

1 oz Rosato Vermouth, Atsby Armadillo Cake
1 ds Bitters, Bittermens New Orleans Coffee (I used Crude Big Beak, Coffee & cocoa bitters)

This is a smoky Negroni replacement - build it in the glass, or stir it up and strain it into a glass with one big cube. And reflect on a summer evening’s approach in AZ or NM.

  • Nice negroni riff. I used campari/aperol .66 and .33 for the Gran Clasico. On Vermouth, used .66 Rosato and .33 Rosato infused with smoked chipotle chilies. Finished with autumn bonfire aromatic.
