  • 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 As a note, we typically frown on X Martinis and they usually stay unpublished.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

Dan commented on 5/02/2016:

Ugh. 

Zachary Pearson commented on 5/02/2016:

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.

Strong on the cinnamon from the Becherovka. Use bitters that are without cinnamon. Made with apricot because peach tends toward Jolly Rancher. Fits the name very well.

bza commented on 4/29/2016:

Maybe I have old Becherovka, but I felt the cinnamon needed the extra kick which is why I went with Fee's. I agree about the apricot, but I'm trying to finish a bottle of peach liqueur someone gave me and this is the best use I've found for it. I'll experiment with bitters this weekend and report back.

Violet Fizz

1 1⁄2 oz Gin
1 oz Lemon juice
1⁄2 oz Crème de Violette
1⁄2 t Sugar
3 oz Soda water (to top)
Instructions

Shake first four ingredients with ice. Strain over ice in a Collins or stove pipe glass. Top with soda.

History

There seem to be two main branches of this cocktail floating around - one that originates with Baker that's a Ramos minus OFW and add a pony of violette. The other is more like this - streamlined and simpler.
