Feels like it needs a lemon twist, so I added a lemon twist.

Jalisco en Partes Iguales

1 oz Reposado Tequila
1 oz Aromatized wine, Cocchi Americano
1 oz Aperol
1 pn Salt
1 wdg Lime (as garnish)
Instructions

Stir; strain; rocks; garnish.

History

This drink was formerly posted on KC as the "Negroni Jalisco," but since it's what I like to call a Ship of Theseus of a drink (every part has been swapped out from the original), some might find the "Negroni" label inappropriate.

Pink Gin

2 oz Gin, Plymouth Navy Strength
4 ds Bitters, Angostura
Instructions

Add bitters to mixing glass and stir down with ice for 1 minute. Add gin and stir for at least another minute. Strain. Up. Lemon twist optional.

Notes

Dilution is key here to open up gin.

History

Tradition has it British navy officers drank pink gins 'in', with angostura, whereas the men took theirs 'out', with merely a swirl, due to relative scarcity and rationing of the bitters on board.

  • 10/30/18 - only 2 dashes with Plymouth gin. Good idea for testing out new bitters.
  • Barely a cocktail but definitely one of my very favorites. Use good gin.
  • Very nice stiff drink. I think I prefer it with 4-5 dashes "in" rather than just rinsing the glass, unless you have a really high quality gin you want to showcase.
  • Made with Beefeater 24. Super bitter: 5 dashes might have been 3 or 4 too many! (I notice Wondrich calls for 3 *drops*!) Edit: Use Plymouth Navy and 4 dashes and it gained a star.

This is not as sweet as you would think, looking at the ingredients. Reasonably well balanced and complex. Best had cold in a frozen glass. Your mileage will vary based on the rhubarb shrub. Other sweet shrubs would also work well.

The Federation

2 oz Añejo tequila
1⁄2 oz Crème de Cacao, Tempus Fugit
2 ds Bitters, Angostura
1 rinse Absinthe
1 twst Orange peel
Instructions

Rinse a rocks glass with absinthe. Add ice, tequila, creme de cacao, and bitters; stir. Garnish with an orange twist.

Notes

Per link, this is meant to be a Sazerac variation. Apart from the absinthe rinse, I find it rather different from a Sazerac, but still tasty. Nice use of creme de cacao.

Tasty, but the flavors come off a bit disparate for me. I want to try it with a mezcal rinse plus a dash of absinthe in the mix. Hell, swap the Angostura for Mole and we're approaching Oaxaca OF territory.

  • I made it with Cocchi di Torino and a mixture of aromatic and sassafras & sorghum bitters. Sensational drink.
  • I grew up in Chattanooga, so I know Coke.... I made it with Dolin Rouge . Great fi'in drink.

Far too sweet. Add 1oz gin and now we're talking.

Instructions

Muddle fruit and honey syrup, add remaining ingredients. Shake, fine strain, crushed ice goblet, wine or Collins glass. Garnish with mint and more fruit.

Alternatively, depending on the size of you fruit wedges, you could use about .75 oz lemon juice and 1.25 oz orange juice vs. muddling the fruit.
