Great name, even though I love both.

As do I. I have a whole list of potential drink names that are just phrases I find annoying or overly common. Stay tuned for "Social Liberal Fiscal Conservative" and "Short On The Sides Long On Top."

  • Very unexpected and unique drink. When you first sip, its all sweet and fruity, and then the gin and sage together come in to add a bitter finish that is really refreshing, and makes you go back in for more.
  • Very good - 4.5. Enjoyed the sage.

  • Made with GC instead of YC. Considered a modern classic for a reason. The Cynar Flip is better. 3.5★
  • The tequila is unexpected in this setting but it makes for an interesting and worthwhile cocktail.

  • Surprisingly dry and complex. Weird effect because I accidently used the wrong bottle of bitters lavender so I should probably try this one again.

Curated this: removed history to avoid copyright. As a note, we typically frown on X Martinis and they usually stay unpublished. But given the creator of the drink and the efforts underway at the time to simplify and innovate the lackluster cocktail scene, I feel it's an important part of pre-Renaissance cocktail history. Thanks,  Zachary

Horatio: O day and night, but this espresso martini is wondrous strange! 

Hamlet: And therefore as a stranger give it welcome. There are more things in London bars, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

Famous Last Words

2 oz Rhum Agricole, Rhum JM Blanc (infused with browned butter and almonds)
1⁄2 oz Simple syrup (charred pineapple syrup. See note.)
3 ds Bitters, Bittermens 'Elemakule Tiki
Instructions

Stir, strain, DOF. No garnish.

Notes

To infuse rhum, melt 1 stick of butter per bottle of rhum in a pan over medium heat, stirring occasionally. When the butter browns, add it to the rhum. Allow to cool to room temperature. Toast and chop blanched almonds and add to infusion. Store in refrigerator 48 hours, stirring several times a day, then strain. Reintroduce almonds to continue to infuse. Taste daily to check flavor levels.

To make charred pineapple syrup, char pineapple on grill, then force through a strainer. Add syrup.
