Porn Star Martini (lightly modernized)

1 1⁄2 oz Vodka (vanilla-infused)
1 1⁄2 oz Passion fruit puree (lightly sweetened)
2 oz Sparkling white wine (in sidecar)
Instructions

Shake, strain, up, serve with a sidecar of sparkling wine.

Notes

Actually a quite good drink, especially with the acid of the sparkling wine chaser to cut through the sweetness of passion fruit syrup. The original calls for plain vodka with vanilla and passion fruit liqueurs in addition to passion fruit puree. I recommend infusing a few vanilla stalks instead.

Buffalo Tail

2 oz Dark rum
1 oz Lime juice
1⁄2 oz Orgeat
1⁄2 oz Allspice Dram
3 ds Bitters, Fee Brothers Black Walnut
Instructions

Mix all in a Shaker and shake vigorously. Serve over ice in your favorite glass to put ice in.

Notes

Ingredients and name are from Denson in DC. The cocktail conceptions were good, but the bartender that might must have been a sub or something, as the proportions on two different cocktails were all wrong. This one, as served, tasted overwhelmingly of allspice dram. Obviously no proportions were given on the menu, so the proportions are mine, and I enjoyed my preparation far more than that served to me, but I was aiming for something I enjoyed, not something that was originally served to me. I used Gosling's Black Seal, Liber & Co. Orgeat, and St. Elizabeth's for the pimento dram.

History

A variant on the Lion's Tail.

Eggnog, Morgenthaler

2 Whole egg (Large)
3 oz Sugar (Superfine, not powdered)
1 t Nutmeg (freshly-grated)
2 oz Brandy
2 oz Spiced Rum, Sailor Jerry
6 oz Milk (Whole)
4 oz Heavy cream
Instructions

Beat eggs in blender for one minute on medium speed. Slowly add sugar and blend for one additional minute. With blender still running, add nutmeg, brandy, rum, milk and cream until combined. Chill thoroughly to allow flavors to combine and serve in chilled wine glasses or champagne coupes, grating additional nutmeg on top immediately before serving.

Notes

Morgenthaler quotes a higher ratio of sugar than I prefer. Start with 1/2 or 2/3 and add more to taste.

Shawn C commented on 6/19/2024:

Curation note: Came across this one while trying to sort maple syrup listings. I am marking this one for proper attribution later. This drink is essentially a direct copy (including the name) of one from 2015 https://www.davidlebovitz.com/cranberry-shrub-and-cranberry-shrub-cockt… where the author (David Lebovitz) suggested jazzing it up with orange liqueur. The bourbon was not specified, and the author mentioned using pumpkin spice bitters, but left the choice of bitters up to the maker.

This is an amazing cocktail, the spec I found had you leave the garnish aside but regal shake with the grapefruit twist in the tin. Lovely balance, shows off mezcal and tequila beautifully. Very easy to drink.

EtherPole commented on 11/29/2023:

I made it with 1:1 Teqila:Mezcal, with 4 dashes of Angostura, regal shake. It's fantastic

papaq86 commented on 8/25/2024:

Admittedly did a lemon twist instead of grapefruit because you work with what you got. Incredible drink. I feel like the honey brings the mezcal back to a sticky sweet, roasted agave profile. Magic.
