Xocolatl Talisman

1 1⁄2 oz Blended Scotch, Dewar's
1⁄2 oz Drambuie
3⁄4 oz Agave syrup
1 oz Espresso (a freshly brewed shot)
1 pn Cayenne pepper
2 ds Bitters, Bittermens Xocolatl Mole
3 Coffee bean (garnish)
Instructions

Half fill shaker with ice, and add all ingredients.
Shake well, for 20-30 seconds
Strain into a chilled coupe glass
Garnish with espresso beans, floated in the center of the glass.

Notes

The first time I made the drink, I used 15 yo Glenfarclas (was all I had at the time). Enjoyed the drink, but felt guilty, so I picked up a $30 bottle of Dewar's.

  • Too sweet, needs less agave syrup, or skip it altogether
  • I added the bitters. The results I got were different than the bespoke post article - my drink looked more like a guiness with a nice creamy head - and was like having a latte. — ★★★★

Better Sunday Afternoon

1 1⁄2 oz Gin, The Botanist (or Tanqueray Bloomsbury (Some may prefer 1 oz))
1 1⁄2 oz Aromatized wine, Cocchi Americano (Some may prefer 1 oz)
1⁄2 oz Salers Gentiane
1 oz Gran Classico
1 twst Lemon peel (as garnish)
Instructions

Combine ingredients, stir with ice, strain, then pour into chilled Old Fashioned glass. Express lemon zest on glass rim and on drink's suface, the drop lemon peel into drink.

Notes

Somewhat bitter due to both the Gran Classico and the gin, but the Cocchi Americano and Salers give a pleasant sweetness to the drink. Using less gin will lessen the bitterness, and using less Cocchi Americano will lessen the sweetness. The lemon zest gives a tartness that adds even more flavor and depth to the drink. Mix, stir, strain, and enjoy!

Citrusey Fords Gin works nicely here. Rate 4.5 easily.

Similar to the Negroni d'Or, which is our "house cocktail." The lemon is a nice and necessary touch, don't skip

Melody

1 3⁄8 oz Pussanga
1 oz Sweet vermouth
2 t Amaro
2 t Jägermeister
1 ds Peychaud's Bitters
Instructions

Gently stir over ice and strain into a rocks glass.
Garnish with an orange zest and flaming sprig of rosemary just before served. Enjoy!

Notes

Pussanga is a bittersweet liqueur made with pomegranate, ginger, chiles and pussanga roots.

It tastes authentic and more complexity, just like a perfect lady. The aroma of rosemary and orange are just fantastic.

History

This drink is all about to express my childhood, born in the musicians family and growing up everyday with part of the melody. Even every tone is sometimes so deep, but it really contributes to the rhythms of my life and gives my family the more strength to come over any difficulties in our life. That makes the word “Impossible” become “I’m Possible”!
Within this reason so I try to figure out once again by using my own melody from my childhood to create a new feat in this lifetime. Cheers,

Zachary Pearson commented on 5/18/2017:

Curated this a lot. Assuming this is meant to cite the link and be made according to the recipe and not some weird riff on that drink, I did the following: removed the cognac, both the 3/4 oz (which should be Giffard Pamplemousse) and the 12 drops (which should be Bittermens Orchard Street Celery Shrub). Added the club soda top. Added Creator and place and date.  Thanks,  Zachary

PHI-FLIP

1 Egg yolk
1 bsp Sugar
7⁄8 oz Yogurt liqueur, Bols
1 1⁄2 oz Genever, Bols
1⁄2 oz White port
2 ds Peychaud's Bitters
Instructions

First, add the eggyork with barspoon of caster sugar into the shaker and hand-whisked.
Then add the rest ingredients with ice and shake vigorously.
Strain into a chilled sour / cocktail glass and grated tonka bean over the drink. Enjoy!

Notes

Fresh notes and complexity yet with endearing sweet creaminess.

History

This is a beautiful twist on the Classic "Flip" that I've ever made and hopefully it could be accepted as the new classic for decades of time!
This drink is based on modern trend of Bols Yoghurt liqueur as well as the coming back of Bols Genever.
Well, let’s give a trick to guess between the Cow & Cock which one is important for our life. Then I am sure you will realize when having breakfast with an omelette and glass of milk because they are V.I.P for me, very important portion for my life…ahahaha
This drink was made to shine up the spirits as well as the personality of the person behind the drink.
Why??? Because…No Food, No Drink!!!

Used Rittenhouse and Lairds bonded, and just muddled some rosemary in place of the tincture. Very tasty.
