Well-balanced sweetness, which I was somewhat surprised with and thought would be too sweet. Tastes about what you would expect it to.

Delmarva Cocktail #2

2 oz Rye
1⁄2 oz Dry vermouth
1⁄2 oz Lemon juice
1⁄2 oz White Crème de Cacao
1 lf Mint (as garnish)
Instructions

Shake and strain into a chilled cocktail glass; garnish with a single mint leaf.

Notes

A close relative of the Twentieth Century, the Delmarva #2 takes a nice base of rye, tempers it slightly with dry vermouth, then tosses in an equal pairing of lemon juice and creme de cacao. As with the Twentieth Century, the taste is surprising, the mix a near-perfect balance that keeps any one ingredient from being dominant, or from being drowned out by the other flavors. Delmarva #1? Apparently, it is the creme de menthe instead of cacao version.

History

The name is short for “DElaware, MARyland, VirginiA. The drink comes from Gary Regan’s Joy of Mixology, and is derived from a mix Regan credits to Ted “Dr. Cocktail” Haigh (who hails from the Delmarva region–hence the connection and the name.

Before Midnight

2 oz Gin
1⁄2 oz Lemon juice
1⁄2 oz Crème Yvette
1⁄2 oz Crème de Cacao, Tempus Fugit
1 Egg white
Instructions

Dry shake, shake with ice, double strain, cocktail glass.

Notes

I made my first version with Green Hat gin, a local gin made in Washington, DC. I'm looking forward to experimenting with other brands. I can't imagine one could go wrong with Beefeater, here.

Half an ounce is a lot of crème de cacao, so I highly recommend using something that's pretty tasty, like Tempus Fugit's version. I have only tried one other brand of crème de cacao (Dekuyper) and the experience scarred me for life. Tempus Fugit's version is wonderful.

History

This was my attempt to come up with some uses for the two bottles of crème yvette I own. Most classic crème yvette cocktails reference the color blue in their name, since crème yvette used to have artificial coloring that made it similar in hue to crème de violette: aviation, eagle's dream, blue moon, submarine kiss, &c. The revived crème yvette doesn't use artificial coloring (not a decision I agree with), and I'll be damned if I'm going to serve someone a pink aviation.

  • This turned out better than I expected. Not too sweet (I tried to follow the template of other gin sours, like the eagle's dream), but the chocolate and berry flavors really sing together.

Tucker commented on 1/31/2018:

Made a very similar cocktail over the holidays with some leftover lingonberry jam. Used lemon juice rather than lime as think works better with the aquavit and lingonberry. Final version was 1 1/2 oz aquavit (Linie), 1/2 oz Cointreau, 3/4 oz lemon juice and 1 heaping tsp of the lingonberry jam.

Zachary Pearson commented on 1/28/2018:

Quick question - is curcuma better known in the US as turmeric? Or is it something else completely? Thanks,  Zachary

noksagt commented on 1/28/2018:

Yes; culinary turmeric in both the US and France is Curcuma longa and the French refer to it as "curcuma".
