Shawn C commented on 5/03/2024:

I tried this first with your request for addressing the sweetness. I nibbled at this in two ways: I tried Coruba Jamaican rum since Smith & Cross is so sweet (I love it, but it is very sweet). I swapped the Carpano Antica out for Punt e Mes to provide more bitter character (even though the Punt e Mes might contain more actual sugar.) I targeted the same alcohol content and bourbon mashbill using the 80 proof Coruba and Wild Turkey 101 bourbon. The result was very good, semi-sweet, but with alcohol heat (79 proof before ice dilution), bitter balance, and abundant herbal and flavor notes. It didn't last long in the glass...

Strawberry Road

1 1⁄2 oz Bourbon
3⁄4 oz Campari
1⁄2 oz Dry vermouth
1 Strawberry
3 ds Bitters, Angostura Orange
1 Orange peel (as garnish)
Instructions

Slice strawberry into quarters. Place in shaker. Combine liquids. Muddle. Shake until chilled. Strain into double old-fashioned glass over one large cube. Express orange zest on surface of drink. Drop zest into glass.

Notes

We used Maker’s Mark. A stronger, less sweet bourbon might be better.

History

The inspiration for this drink was the Boulevardier recipe in Brad Thomas Parsons’s AMARO.

This version seems to walk the line between a variation and a new concoction. We leave that decision to others.

Devil's Own Mistress

1 1⁄2 oz Overproof rum, Plantation O.F.T.D.
3⁄4 oz Sweet vermouth
1⁄4 oz Bénédictine
1⁄4 oz Fernet Branca
1⁄4 oz Crème de Banane
6 dr Absinthe
Instructions

Stir with ice and strain into an old fashioned glass with a large cube.

History

One night, I uncovered a note that I had made on my phone with a riff on the Away Colors that I had thought up. To the rum, Fernet, and banana combination, I added in Benedictine and Punt e Mes and took the rum into overdrive with Planteray's OFTD. The combination did not work as well as planned, but switching the aromatized wine to regular sweet vermouth helped a lot as did adding in a few drops of absinthe to brighten the balance. Since I was already in my phone's notepad, I went to a list of drink names that I had turned up in my reading, and I found the Devil's Own Mistress from Stephanie Schorow's The Combat Zone book that was listed as a nickname for one of the performers, Amy Walker.

1 twst Lemon (garnish)
Instructions

The components work well together providing a balanced and complex flavor. Probably my favorite Mellow Corn cocktail so far. (I used Dolin Blanc for the vermouth.)

Year of creation and origin are not established in the link. Clapham is a district in London with an array of cocktail bars, so presumably this originated there.
