Did not have the rum or the Averna, but this riff was outstanding: cognac, equal parts Ramazzotti & Amer Boudreau (to sub for the Averna), lemon juice, mandarin orange simple syrup, Angostura bitters, orange twist.

  • Mezcal gets a little lost. Perhaps the drink doesn’t need both tequila & mezcal. I made it with two barspoons Fernet, which was plenty. — ★★★
  • I halved the Fernet but it still overpowered. Gonna keep reducing to get better balance... UPDATE: I like it best with 1 bsp Fernet Branca!
  • Whenever the Fernet-Branca exceeds 1/4 oz, it's all I can taste.
  • Flavors mesh well but fernet predominates.

Kindred Cocktails commented on 11/29/2017:

I tried this last night and rated it 3 stars (good, would make again). If you like Fernet in modest (not super subtle, but not hit-you-on-the-head amounts), you'll like this cocktail. I also subbed Amaro Noninio, but the sugar balance was off. Need to swap some Cynar for more Tequila or maybe dry vermouth.

noksagt commented on 12/01/2017:

Imbibe's image of this has a dark layer over the rest of a much lighter drink. Anyone know if PH&AC layers the fernet for service?

Also: nonino seems like it'd be a really weird sub to me in this one.

applejack commented on 3/18/2020:

I initially made this with Fernet Branca and a tequila blanco.  I thought this was bit unbalanced using those ingredients, but better when using an alternate, less menthol heavy fernet such as Fernet-Vallet (which made sense given the other Mexican ingredients) or Letherbee Fernet.  The type of tequila wasn't specified so I figured the default was a blanco; I thought the oak, vanilla & caramel notes of a quality repo or anejo rounded out the drink better.  So if you didn't like this as specified, I'd suggest maybe trying it with an alternate fernet and an aged tequila, which made for a nicely complex, bitter sipper.  I also thought a drink with powerful flavors such as this benefited from being served on a large rock or sphere instead of up.

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.
