  • This was yummy! I used half maple syrup and half orgeat instead of the demerara syrup

koalahamlet commented on 2/19/2017:

I was looking for something to do with Stiggin's pineapple rum, and I'm very happy to have found this.

I also *just* happened to have some leftover demerara syrup from a previous cocktail session. 



I used st.george agricole, which gave this cocktail a funkier nose than probably intended, but it was a point of interest instead of a point against it. 

Overall, Stiggin's lends itself very well to this cocktail as it brightens the entire palette.

I'd thought a 1/2 oz of allspice was a bit excessive, but it worked well. Next time I'll try a little less allspice and see if the drink remains as tasty.

Susurrus

2 oz Calvados, Boulard (VSOP)
1⁄2 oz Lemon juice
1⁄2 oz Simple syrup

2 oz Hard cider (dry)
Instructions

Shake the first four ingredients with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail flute or coupe OR build in an ice-filled old fashioned glass and stir briefly to combine.

Top with hard cider. Garnish with a thin apple slice.

Notes

It's straightforward apple pie in a French 75 jacket. Dash of ginger or allspice dram would probably work nicely.

The Reverb Crash

4 oz White grapefruit juice
1 1⁄2 oz Passion fruit syrup
3⁄4 oz Lime juice
3⁄4 bsp Orgeat
1 oz Light rum (Cuban)
1 oz Dark rum (Jamaican)
Instructions

Put in a shaker with half a cup of crushed ice, shake well and put in a Tiki mug - I guess a 14-16 Oz one , add crushed Ice to fill. Garnish with, eh- I dunno - half a grapefruit, ok, no - with a mint sprig.

Notes

You can use more Orgeat if you want - it depends how strong the taste of the syrup is. The idea is to just feel a bit of it. I used Monin brand which is very strong.

  • Good drink, used Foro because I didn’t have ramazatti and a little less angostura
  • Superbly named, nicely spiced, stiff but smooth.
  • Big, boozy, and bitter.

I first made this one subbing Carpano Antica for the Punt e Mes. After trying it with Punt e Mes, I think I like it better with the Antica. Anyway...

yarm commented on 9/27/2021:

Definitely before 2015. Sother made this for me at a pop-up event in Boston in 2014: https://cocktailvirgin.blogspot.com/2014/11/pumpernickel.html

Slightly different there (Bourbon, 3/4 oz Put e Mes, only 2 dash Angostura) when he made it for me. In Sother's book it is the one listed here with rye and 7 dashes etc. but with Amaro Abano instead of Ramazzotti. It's not uncommon for Amor y Amaro drinks to change the amaro identity over time.
