  • I really liked this one. Yes, like a Bee's Knees, but also reminiscent of a Corpse Reviver No. 2. Great hot weather sour.
  • Nice. Finishes like a throat lozenge (not in an objectionable way). — ★★★★

The EQ

1 1⁄2 oz Rye, Bulleit (Can sub high-proof bourbon and/or adjust to 1 oz for a lighter version)
2 t Fernet Branca (Adjust to taste)
1⁄2 oz Triple sec, Cointreau
1⁄2 oz Ginger liqueur, Canton
Instructions

Stir with ice; strain; rocks glass over a large cube.

Notes

Good as an aperitif due to high proof and bitter main profile, but also works as a late-night feet-up-by-the-fire libation. As the ice melts the triple sec and FB mellow to a coffee/caramel sweetness. Ginger packs the heat to battle winter chills and creates a tingly finish.

History

Created for a friend who needed (needed!) an easy big boy's version of Jack & Ginger.

  • Good cocktail. Complex, perhaps a bit too much. There is a lot going on at once in the drink.

  • 2 oz killik silver rum (i had no cachaca) 1 oz creme de cassis 1 oz luxardo limoncello 1/2 oz lemon juice :)
  • Made w/ homemade blackberry liqueur. Not bad in any way but also not particularly coherent. I'm not sure anything in this drink really goes with anything else.

Sukker Shack

1 oz Irish whiskey, Bushmill's
1 oz Aquavit, Gamle Ode Celebration
1⁄3 oz Orange juice
1⁄4 oz Maple syrup
2 ds Peychaud's Bitters
Instructions

Stir with ice; garnish with orange twist.

Notes

The Gamle Ode Celebration aquavit has a sweeter, smoother nose than other varieties. Dill and caraway with juniper and vanilla.

The maple syrup is saying hi from across the room at 1/4 oz; it's giving you a hearty hug at 1/2oz.

History

I had to finish the end of a bottle of maple syrup before I could open the next one, and, so, cocktail. I said "I feel kinda herby" and, so, aquavit.

Not too sweet at all with Combier kümmel, but your mileage may vary.
