1 oz Jamaican rum, Smith & Cross
1⁄2 oz Amaretto
1 t Averna
2 ds Bénédictine

Notes

This coffee concoction leans fruity without being particularly sweet, and can pull out nut and fruit tones from a pourover or mellow a bitter brew.

Krispy Mac

3⁄4 oz Applejack (bonded preferred)
3⁄4 oz Herbal liqueur, Green Chartreuse
3⁄4 oz Nocino (whiskey barrel finished preferred)
3⁄4 oz Lime juice
1 Lime (dehydrated wheel, garnish)
Instructions

Shake, strain into a DOF over a single cube/fresh ice. Garnish with a dehydrated lime wheel

Notes

Tart apple with spices from the Chartreuse and oak from the bourbon barrel finished nocino.

The barrel aging of the nocino is important. It may feel flat without that. The Watershed Nocino may not be widely available. If not you may try a couple dashes of barrel aged bitters to add that note into the drink.

History

Named after the custom, local apple variety that was made for Rouster's Apple House in Milford, OH. A suburb of Cincinnati. The orchard was in operation from 1939-2011.

  • As much as I love Negronis and all their variations, it’s shocking how good this and other non-spirited Negronis can be.

Liar's Tea

1 oz Cuban rum, Havana Club 3 (a very mellow light rum, anyway)
1 oz Bianco Vermouth, Dolin
1⁄2 oz Oleo-saccharum (lemon zest oleo saccharum)
1⁄2 oz Lime juice
2 oz Water (Berlin (Germany) tap water, for reference)
2 ds Bitters, Angostura
1 ds Grapefruit bitters, Bitter Truth Grapefruit
Instructions

Shake with ice, strain over fresh ice, serve.

Notes

Bizarrely similar taste to iced tea, with some more spice beyond the tip of the tongue. Dangerously quaffable if made as a batch.

In place of oleo saccharum I suppose some combination of syrup and Limoncello might serve.

History

After trying a Mizuwari I felt like having another drink with water in the list of ingredients, so I spontaneously assembled a kind of punch (thinking of the El Presidente while pouring the white vermouth) and was surprised by how much it tasted like iced tea.

Martinez Bianco

2 oz Bianco Vermouth, Dolin
1 oz Gin, Beefeater
1⁄2 oz Bergamot liqueur, Italicus
2 ds Orange bitters, Regans' orange bitters
Instructions

Add all ingredients to a mixing glass, add lots of ice, stir until cold, serve up in a Nick & Nora or a coupe with an olive or two.

Notes

A classic aperitivo. Found on the InShaker site. The taste will change with different brands of vermouth and gin - it’d be great with a dry vermouth, too. Only the Italicus is sacrosanct. Reducing the gin would put this well into low-ABV territory.

subspot commented on 1/03/2025:

Solid simple cocktail, used Tanq 10 for the gin, would recommend three Donostia lemon paste stuffed olives in addition to the lemon peel.
