HallA commented on 8/16/2022:

My recommendation is that unless you're using kahlua or one of the pretty sweet coffee liqueurs (I actually haven't had galliano ristretto so don't know where it sorts out) I would use the demerara syrup. I usually like things pretty dry so I super super lowballed it (like three drops instead of a bsp and also used scarlet ibis for the non blackstrap rum, which is quite dry) and it was a little unbalanced / too sour.

Jerk Store

1 oz Mezcal, Sombra
1 oz Pineapple rum, Plantation Stiggins' Fancy
1⁄2 oz Apricot liqueur, Rothman & Winter Orchard Apricot
1⁄2 oz Cinnamon syrup
1 oz Lemon juice
3⁄4 oz Egg white
8 dr Bitters, Bitter End Jamaican Jerk
Instructions

Notes

The Bitter End Jamaican Jerk bitters are pretty strong and spicy; a decent sub might be a dash of Fee Brother's Barrel Aged Bitters plus a few drops of Bittermens Hellfire Habanero Shrub bitters.

Beachcomber

3⁄4 oz Orange liqueur, Cointreau
3⁄4 oz Lime juice
1⁄4 oz Maraschino Liqueur, Luxardo
1⁄8 oz Simple syrup (optional)
Instructions

Shake, strain, up.

Notes

In Trader Vic's formulation, the Beachcomber is a blended drink with 2 ounces of rum. For this shaken-and-strained variation, the amount of spirit is dialed back a bit. If you choose to blend your Beachcombers over ice, try upping the rum to 2 ounces per serving

Death by Chocolate

1 1⁄2 oz Islands Scotch, Talisker (Storm)
1⁄2 oz Cynar 70
1⁄2 oz Amaro Meletti
1⁄2 oz Crème de Cacao, Tempus Fugit
3⁄4 oz Egg white
1 oz Stout (Chocolate stout, I use Young's Double Chocolate)
3 ds Bitters, Scrappy's Chocolate
1 ds Bitters, Bittermens Xocolatl Mole
Instructions

Dry shake all ingredients (make sure to keep a really tight seal when shaking due to the beer), shake with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail coupe. Optionally garnish with dark chocolate gratings or a pinch of dark cocoa powder

Notes

A good sub for the Talisker Storm is either Bowmore 12 Year or 1 oz Laphroaig 10 Year + .5 oz Monkey Shoulder (or other quality blend). If you want to amp up the peat, use all Laphroaig. Using standard Cynar will result in a slightly sweeter, less bitter drink.
