I didn't have clear Curacao so I used my blue Curacao and the color is awesome. The liquid glows a greenish color that looks like a drink out of an H.P. Lovecraft book. Love the taste too. I'd genuinely suggest subbing the peychaud's bitters for absinthe (personal preference).

Dan commented on 9/05/2017:

A complex if worthy variation on what is often a crappy soda pop-forward cocktail. I used Becherovka for cinnamon and King's for ginger, plus used tonic. It was good enough to make again for guests.

Have always wanted to make a whacky drink like this with a load of ingredients, even went through the trouble of making my own syrups... and I was NOT disappointed!

I'm just a bit unsure as to what "(fat)" refers to?? I just used the amounts of lemon/lime juice stated.

 

"fat" here means a little more than, so be a little generous when you hit the 1/4 ounce mark. Thanks,  Zachary

I know this reply is a bit late but thanks for the clarification! :)

  • I had some leftover ginger from making anise-scented short ribs & built this recipe around it. Originally an aromatic cocktail, it needed some acid to balance the sweetness — hence the lemon juice.

  • NoiseMaker — Brandy, Licor 43, Dry sherry, Grapefruit juice, Balsamic Vinegar, Salt
  • Billy Bones — Spiced Rum, Scotch, Lemon juice, Ginger-Honey Syrup, Rosemary
  • Algonquin Round Table — Rye, Bianco Vermouth, Pineapple juice, Lime juice, Cinnamon syrup
  • Vampire Blues — Bourbon, Sherry, Bitters, Lemon juice, Simple syrup, Pumpkin butter, Cinnamon stick

Needs a bit of tweaking: start with reducing lemon juice to 0.5 oz, then Allspice Dram to 0.25 oz, if necessary.

Mexican Razor Blade

2 sli Cucumber
2 oz Tequila (or mezcal)
1 oz Lime juice
3⁄4 oz Simple syrup
1 sli Cucumber (as garnish)
1 pn Cayenne pepper (as garnish)
Instructions

Shake with 2 small cuke slices, strain, up, garnish with floating cuke slice with powdered chile sprinkled on top.

Notes

Piquín chile also suggested, and Greenbaum notes that agave or honey sweeteners work well as subs, and fresh chiles or strawberries can be thrown in.

Simple and refreshing! Next time I will probably use just a bit less lime, and muddle the cucumber so that its flavor is more evident.

  • Used 2 dashes Angostura Aromatic bitters and 2 dashes Reagans — ★★★★
  • I was skeptical with all that lemon but it balanced out well. Drambuie with dark rum also seemed unusual but again, it worked!

A couple of questions for you: is that a homemade chocolate extract, and If not, is there a brand you like? Can you provide a recipe or some guidelines for the stout reduction?  Thanks,  Zachary
