Made for Tipple Tuesday #5 challenge on Reddit: Two-ingredient cocktails.
I have always known this as the M&M. Difford's Guide attributes it to an Amaro Montenegro ambassador in 2015 who introduced it to Employee's Only where it took off.

Long stir; strain; up.
Invented for reddit.com's Tipple Tuesday #5 challenge: two ingredient cocktails.
Build in a shaker, add pinch of toasted yeast, shake well and double strain.
To make the Umeboshi syrup, Blend 6 umeboshi into simple syrup then fine strain.
Similar to a plum/ginger sour but I love the added umami and saltiness of the umeboshi and yeast.
I'm super excited about replicating this but I think I'm missing a volume for syrup in the umeboshi syrup. I'm assuming that don't want six umeboshi into ¾oz of syrup but maybe I'm being unimaginative.
Combine everything with ice and shake. Strain into an appropriate tiki mug or pearl diver glass filled with crushed ice. Probably needs a garnish, but I haven't found something yet. Maybe a slice of frozen banana?
Dry shake ingredients, shake with ice, double strain into coupe. Garnish with 3 drops of Pine Bitters. Enjoy!
Aviation gin also plays well with this cocktail. The pine syrup is a star here, and the bitters are a must.
I haven't toyed with CC EDV Douglas Fir....yet. The bitters and simple are just awesome. I highly recommend them both if you haven't tried them. No sweetness is needed. It's been described by many as a "dessert cocktail" or "grapefruit creamsicle". Extremely popular and sought after.
Stir, strain into old fashioned glass with a large cube or sphere. Garnish with a few spritzes of crème de violette from an atomizer.
White Negroni riff inspired by my girlfriend's chocolate lavender truffle.
Stir, strain into an old fashioned glass with a large cube or sphere. Garnish with either a large orange swatch, pineapple fronds or a dehydrated pineapple ring.
For the pineapple infused gin, combine a roughly chopped ripe pineapple with a 750ml bottle of Beefeater either for (a) 24-48 hours in a non-reactive container, or (b) 2 hours at 135 degrees via sous vide. Also works well with Plantation Stiggin's Fancy Pineapple Rum.
Curated; changed 'rum' to 'gin' in notes to match ingredient list

Still obsessed with grappa and love the original version which taste famous
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...
