The "History" field says it was created by Kal Moore but the "Created by" field says it was created by Mike Gordon. What's up?

Aviation__1952 commented on 1/31/2020:

mako,

The original idea & recipe was passed along to me by Mike Gordon.  I wrote it down, walked over to The Gresham, and Kal Moore put it all together for the very first time.

HallA commented on 5/29/2022:

Solid three. I think this would be inferior with rum rather than cachaca or with cheap grenadine.

Spare Parts

1 1⁄2 oz Bourbon (or rye)
1⁄2 oz Lemon juice
1⁄2 oz Simple syrup
1⁄2 oz Rhubarb liqueur, Art in the Age
Instructions

Shake all components with ice and strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice.

Notes

To make the IPA syrup: combine 12 oz IPA (Delicious IPA by Stone used) with 1 teaspoon orange flower water and 12 oz sugar on the stove and bring to a simmer for 5 minutes

History

Looking for a cocktail to use for craft beer week, tried an IPA simple syrup and played with it.

I like it.  Not sure about the instruction to discard the peel - certainly with Rittenhouse 100 as the rye there's no need to be delicate!

  • This drink is exactly what it sounds like. in other words totally delicious. Despite the Navy strength gin I would not describe as super strong. So glad I tried this.
  • Delicious, good intro to Negroni — ★★★★★
  • Ok. Used Green Hat Navy Strength and Anitca Formula Vermouth. Served up....maybe better on the rocks?
  • Made with Ransom Old Tom as base, Cappelletti instead of Campari, and agave as sweetener (ran out of SS and too lazy at the moment to make more). Delicious.

  • Really lovely flavor, licorice from the absinthe and mint are nice on the nose. Did without the butterfly pea powder, but that would have brought it to the level.

  • Yes, probably can skip the simple. Mocha-like finish is the best part of this. A lemon twist would be in order here.

Dan commented on 5/12/2016:

The simple in this makes no sense to me. In a regular Toronto it is used because there is relatively little sugar in Fernet. But Cynar has lots of sugar. Might be better without added syrup.

Craig E commented on 5/27/2016:

I thought the same when I saw the recipe (though it's worth noting that the quantity of simple is cut down here). If I get around to some A/B testing I'll report back!

(This also seems like something I'd stir rather than shake.)
