Final Straw

2⁄3 oz Bénédictine
2⁄3 oz Herbal liqueur, Yellow Chartreuse
2⁄3 oz Lemon juice
Instructions

Shake over ice and double-strain into a chilled Nick & Nora glass or coupette.

Notes

Original recipe calls for Chartreuse M.O.F. (Cuvée des Meilleurs Ouvriers de France Sommeliers), but G. Regan subs Yellow Chartreuse. I was out of the Laphroaig and subbed Compass Box Peat Monster, and it worked well.

  • The sweetness of the Benedictine tames the smokiness. Very unique flavors. One of my favorites.
  • nice boozy play on The Last Word, perfect for the fall.
  • Sweet and sour but also earthy and smoky. Like lemonade that had been buried underground for a while.

Mexican Cloud

1 1⁄2 oz Tequila, Milagro (select barrel Blanco tequila)
1 ? Herbal liqueur, Green Chartreuse (mist, as garnish)
Instructions

Stir, strain into a coupe, add a layer of foam, flame Chartreuse mist on top.

Notes

To make the foam layer, add 4 egg whites, 6 oz St. Germain, 3 oz lemon juice and 2 oz water to an ISI whipper. Charge twice and dispense. This makes much more than you'll need for one drink, but smaller volumes are difficult in an ISI.

  • Made with Combier instead of Massenez and Sipsmith instead of Junipero. The drink was cloying and tasted like more like cough syrup than perhaps any other cocktail I've had.

Curated from Pear liqueur (which would be sweetened) to Pear eau de vie, which is unaged clear distilled unsweetened fermented pear juice. That's what is pictured in the photo. Unfortunately, pear "brandy" is ambiguous these days because it is often used to describe pear liqueur -- and usually of awful quality. It's best to avoid the confusion and not call it brandy.

  • added 2 bs ancho syrup
  • Delicious and complex. Bitter, smoke, spicy. Would have many times over
  • Very bitter, sweet, Mezcal. Hard to discern the cynar, maraschino, and mole bitters.
  • That's a lot of ingredients. The ancho reyes and maraschino is mostly lost in here.
  • Don't stir too much

This was refreshing, flavorful and strong! I made 2 drinks worth, and shook it with ice in a large mason jar.
Myer's dark rum, Plantation 5 year in place of light, homemade grenadine in place of the passion fruit, and homemade Falernum were the notables. Garnished with lime wedges and fresh mint and basil from our garden.
Absolutely delicious, will make again!
