Add all of the ingredients to a glass, add ice, and stir to chill. Garnish with an orange twist.
Rinse glass with sambuca. Stir contents over ice and strain over large cube with an orange peel.
Mix well with ice, strain into rocks glass filled with either a large cube or crushed ice, garnish with orange slice or thyme sprig or olive.
A classic Italian low-ABV aperitivo quaff with nearly infinite variations.
Imbibe implies that this is an old cocktail, the grandfather of the Negroni.
Shake with ice, strain over fresh ice, serve.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Whip shake with pebble ice. Dump into Collins glass. Add pebble ice and straw. Absinthe spray and mint garnish
Stir, serve up with a lemon zest twist
Solid simple cocktail, used Tanq 10 for the gin, would recommend three Donostia lemon paste stuffed olives in addition to the lemon peel.
Shake with ice, strain into a double old fashioned glass full of ice, and garnish with an orange slice accented with 7 drop Fee's Old Fashioned Bitters (Fee's Whiskey Barrel-Aged).
Found on Frederic’s Cocktail blog, also at imbibe.
Frederic’s notes: Cure: New Orleans Drinks and How to Mix ’Em and spotted Berlin in the 70s. The recipe was attributed to bartender Billy Dollard who was inspired by Cure bartender Maks Pazuniak who was tinkering with a recipe that he was calling New York in the Seventies
Shake & strain in chilled cocktail glass. Lemon twist.
Simple and fresh digestive after dinner.
Gin Poli Marconi 46 is a good choice.
Drink born trying to make limoncello less banal.
Stir, express and discard lemon peel, serve up
I have substituded tawny port for the madeira along with dry sherry for the sherry with good results.
