Walnut Room

1 1⁄2 oz Bourbon, Henry McKenna 10 Year Bottled in Bond
1 oz Walnut Liqueur, Nux Alpina
3⁄4 oz Amaro, CH Distillery
1 bsp Coffee liqueur, Galliano Ristretto
2 ds Bitters, Fee Brothers Black Walnut
1 twst Orange peel
Instructions

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

Notes

CH Amaro is a amaro distributed primarily in Chicago; substitute with a split of Cynar 70 and Meletti if unavailable. Old Grand-dad 100 is a respectable (and slightly more cost effective) option for the McKenna.

History

Named after the historic Walnut Room in Chicago's State Street Marshall Field's (I refuse to call it Macy's).

Paper in Fire

3⁄4 oz Bourbon, Buffalo Trace
3⁄4 oz Suze
3⁄4 oz Ancho Reyes chile liqueur
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
1 bsp Honey syrup (1:1)
Instructions

Shake all ingredients, strain into a chilled coupe.

History

Entry submittal for Suze cocktail contest. Obviously inspired by the Paper Plane, one of my early cocktail crushes after having my first at The Violet Hour in 2008. Couldn't quite pull off the great balance of the original using just 4 equal parts of these ingredients, so I had to cheat and add a bit more sweetener. Named after the John Cougar Mellencamp 80's song "Paper in Fire"

4ndr3w commented on 5/07/2019:

I’ve been thinking about and working on iterations of this drink for months. It might be better with a 1/4 oz of mezcal instead of honey syrup? The smokey aspect of the mezcal seems to balance the bitter aspect of the Suze much better.

  • Dan's comments spot on. — ★★★★
  • I up the Cynar, back off a tad on the Green Chartreuse.

Dan commented on 9/20/2017:

An unusual cocktail in that it is fairly dry -- rather like an intense Martini. Quite slow drinking and contemplative. The Chartreuse dominated the Cynar, but then I prefer the latter to the former.

  • surprisingly smooth for as boozy as it is. Lemon rub on glass is a great compliment.
  • Branca is a bit too strong for my taste. Would go shy of 1/4 oz in the future. Strong.
