Golden Bear

3⁄4 oz Honey syrup
2 oz Gin
2 1⁄2 oz Pineapple juice
1⁄2 oz Bénédictine
2 oz Club soda
1 wdg Lemon (or slice, as garnish)
Instructions

Shake over ice. Strain into a collins glass filled with cracked ice and top with club soda. Garnish with a lemon *wedge* or *slice*.

A citrusy gin works best. We like Four Peels from Watershed Distillery or Malfy (original).

Other herbal liqueur (Chartreuse?) may also work.

They Can't Kill Us All

1 1⁄4 oz Añejo rum (Equiano rum)
1⁄2 oz Bourbon
1⁄4 oz Crème de Banane, Tempus Fugit
3⁄4 oz Yuzu juice
3⁄4 oz Gomme syrup (UBE syrup - see note)
1 1⁄2 oz Milk (kefir)
Instructions

This one takes some work...but it's well worth it!
Combine first five ingredients in a container.
Heat the kefir on the stovetop or in the microwave. Bring it to a simmer, but do not boil. Simmering will cause the kefir to curdle, which is good.
Add the warm kefir to the container with the cocktail, and let sit for at least 30 minutes. The acid from the citrus juice and sherry will cause the kefir to curdle further. The longer the mixture is allowed to sit, the better the final clarity will be.
Strain cocktail through a coffee filter; the filtered cocktail should be clear, with a yellowish hue. For a clearer drink, filter it again through the curds, using the same filter. This can be repeated as desired.
Add ube syrup, and stir to incorporate.
To serve, pour the cocktail into a rocks glass, over a large ice cube and stir to chill.

Notes

Ube Syrup
Combine one part sugar to one part water into a pot and bring to a simmer on the stove. Once the sugar has dissolved, add one drop of ube extract and stir. Add another drop if you want a darker, richer ube flavor and a deeper purple color.

History

This is a simplified version of the drink made at Allegory (Eaton Hotel, Washington, DC)

  • Clean, clear, sweet. Pretty orange pink color. Perhaps a little Pepto Bismol in the nose!? Herbaceous ingredients rhyme pretty well.

Putin's Demise

2 oz Vodka (American, such as Wheatley)
3⁄4 oz Aromatized wine, Lillet Blanc
1⁄2 oz Averna
1⁄4 oz Cassis
2 ds Bitters, Angostura (as garnish)
Instructions

Stir all ingredients except bitters with ice and strain into a chilled coupe. Top with two dashes of Angostura.

History

We were trying to make Death's Door to get rid of almost spent bottles of gin and Averna. Instead, we picked up the American vodka by accident and realized there was no turning back. Without gin, the drink needed some bitters and Angostura was a perfect match.
