  • I feel like bourbon this would be a 4. The rye just kind of clashed.
  • Better with 2oz rye, 1/2, Campari, 1/4 Curaçao and Ramazzoti, not quite as sweet. Might also be good with a dry, oaky bourbo
  • A quite spicy Boulevardier alternative.

Made as pictured but with broken ice. Very good. I like the way the Ramazzotti sweet spice finishes and subdues the Campari.

  • Great utilization of Smith & Cross. The allspice dram gets a bit lost, I might up it to a half ounce and drop the demerara to .75 oz.

Oaxacan Bijou

1 1⁄2 oz Mezcal, Del Maguey Vida
1 oz Herbal liqueur, Yellow Chartreuse
1 oz Sweet vermouth, Carpano Antica Formula
2 ds Orange bitters, Angostura Orange
1 twst Lemon peel
Instructions

Stir, strain, up. Garnish with lemon twist

Notes

Ingredient amounts increased to typical US standard pours. May be a tad sweet for some, so consider dropping the Yellow Chartreuse to .75 oz (matching the Imbibe ratios for the classic gin Bijou). Also interesting with .75 oz Green Chartreuse, though I prefer the Yellow.

  • No yellow so 3/4 of Green Chartreuse. Zignum Anejo as base. Nice one, peat not dominating but present.
  • Balanced cocktail with hint of peat. I also gave a spray of Laphroaig 10yr.
  • def a little sweet but delicious.

A nice Mezcal drink with the right amount of peat. Not too sweet, as one person suggested. Myself, I recommend using 1oz of yellow chartreuse; using only 3/4oz may result in a stronger peat taste (a guess on my part). I used 3 dashes of orange bitters (2 ds of Regans' and 1of Angustora) with a nice result. With this drink, I also used an ample amount of lemon zest, which mixed well with the other ingredients. I rated the "Oaxacan Bijou" at 4.0; I almost went to 4.5--I obviously liked the drink!

flickerdart commented on 7/29/2020:

The most prominent taste is prune! If you enjoy that, give this cocktail a spin.

lesliec commented on 7/30/2020:

For a still more southerly variant, try Pisco in place of the mezcal. Call the result a Piscou if you must.

Oude Bloodhound

1 1⁄2 oz Oude genever, Bols
1 1⁄2 oz Sweet vermouth, Carpano Antica Formula
3⁄4 oz Strawberry shrub (See note)
1 twst Lemon peel (as garnish)
Instructions

Stir with ice and strain into a chilled Nick & Nora glass. Squeeze a small amount of lemon oil over the top of the glass and garnish with a lemon twist.

Notes

To make the strawberry shrub, mash up 12 oz of strawberries and mix in a sealable glass jar with 5 oz of sugar. Leave it in the refrigerator overnight. The next day, strain the liquid into a sterilized glass jar and mix in 1 oz of white balsamic vinegar. Store in the refrigerator. Let it settle for a day before using.

History

This cocktail is based on an old recipe called the Blood Hound, originally published by Tom Bullock in his book The Ideal Bartender in 1917. Bullock's recipe used Old Tom gin and fresh strawberries. In 1930, Harry Craddock published his own variation of the Bloodhound in the Savoy Cocktail Book which used dry gin, fresh strawberries and sweet and dry vermouth. This is my own variation on the Bloodhound using barrel aged genever and a white balsamic strawberry shrub.
