  • Love the way this balances - with the sweet and vegetal of the vermouth and the bite and citrus of the grapefruit. More than the sum of its parts.
  • Had to use pink grapefruit. A showcase for the vermouth's flavors.

Thinking this might be a touch low-proof, I tried:

1 1/2 oz Carpano Antica

3/8 oz Aperol

3/8 oz Campari

3/8 oz Maraschino

3/4 to 1 oz lime juice

salted rim, big rock

Delicious.

 

DrunkLab commented on 5/07/2021:

I believe this was created by John Gertsen and served by him at No. 9 Park. Compare his Motoguzzi: equal parts Booker's and Punt e Mes stirred and served on a rock.

yarm commented on 5/07/2021:

It's credited in a 2007 article on DrinkBoston to Scott Holiday at Chez Henri in Cambridge, MA, for combining grapefruit and Punt e Mes. Followed by John Gertsen at No. 9 Park in Boston for adding the salt component and the name. John and Scott were previous co-workers at Salamander in Cambridge, MA, and have stayed in close contact through the years by sharing recipes and ideas. For example, many of Scott's creations found their way into Drink's bar book; in 2008, Scott helped to open up Rendezvous in Cambridge and John opened up Drink in Boston. Both dropped out of the Boston bar scene in 2014 with Scott taking a job selling wine and John moving to San Francisco to work at ABV.

  • Used Sazerac and I think it turned out a bit mild. I like the ingredients so I will try again with another rye. — ★★★
  • One of Jess' classics. The Campari/Grand Ma/ginger, prebatched in a cheater, is a clutch modifier.

Smooth Landin'

1 oz Limoncello
1 oz Gin
1⁄4 oz Crème de Violette
2 oz Tonic water
Instructions

Pour ingredients into a double old fashioned glass with ice.

Notes

Garnish with a Luxardo cherry if you want to invoke the missing Maraschino liqueur (didn't have any on hand when this was conceived, and it's already a little on the sweet side without it). I just top off the glass with tonic water, but the form needed a quantity. Try with Fever Tree Elderflower tonic and Aviation gin, it's good!

History

Created in honor of my friend Landin who gifted me with some homemade limoncello. Be sure to toast to his name when you drink it, or I can't be held responsible for you're wellbeing.

I had this back when my bar hosted a Franklin pop-up in NYC. This is so much more delicious than it has any right to be. What looks like a hodgepodge of ingredients on paper comes together into rich deliciousness on the tongue. Recommended.
