Belle Epoque

3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
3⁄4 oz Strawberry syrup (strawberry-basil-tomato syrup)
1⁄2 oz Egg white
Instructions

Shake, dry shake, strain, serve in a Nick & Nora glass. Garnish with a whole strawberry, sliced so it rests on the rim.

Notes

Strawberry-basil-tomato syrup: make an oleo saccharum by steeping fresh chopped strawberries and basil in sugar overnight, and then add fresh tomato juice (an equal amount by weight to the sugar) to the mix, stir, and strain off the solids. Depending on the acidity of your tomato juice you may want to adjust the balancd of the drink.

  • Works equally well with Punt e Mes.
  • Can try with Campari too
  • As usual, I prefer Rittenhouse Rye and Leopold Maraschino & this is how I made and rated. But original ingredients are listed. Noted as an authentic recipe, though it came from someone else's guess as to ratios.

A bit too sweet for me. If I make it again I might sub Campari for the Aperol or Punt e Mes for the Antica.


Agree it’s a bit too sweet. Previous commenter had some good ideas re: subs.


Big rye fan here, but I'm thinking 2 oz might allow the other ingredients to shine through.

"If I make it again I might sub Campari for the Aperol or Punt e Mes for the Antica."

Punt e Mes in the equation is pretty much Eastern Standard's Prospect Park which is a mighty fine drink.
