Treasure Chest

1 1⁄2 oz Light rum (I used Denizen 5 year white)
3⁄4 oz Aperol
3⁄4 oz Lime juice
1⁄2 oz Orgeat
1⁄2 oz Passion fruit syrup
2 ds Bitters (I used 1821 Hibiscus bitters but there’s room to experiment here)
Instructions

Shake, strain into tiki glass filled with crushed ice.

History

Wanted to make a Quarantine Order or a Last Bird (yum) but didn’t have pineapple or cinnamon syrup. This came out of a couple failed experiments. Husband likes it so much that he picked the name.

  • Decent - but might be interesting to use a bolder rum to stand up to the sweetness of the syrups or increase it to 2oz or reduce syrups to .5 - .75 total. I also tried this recipe with Rye and it comes out equally good, my wife actually preferred the whiskey version. — ★★★★

Shawn C commented on 10/19/2024:

I am surprised a gin based drink is being listed as "southern" (although it has some similarity to the Ramos Fizz created in New Orleans.) Difford’s has essentially the same recipe listed as the “Celery Sour” with some differences in proportions. (Per Difford the original "celery sour" comes from a 1917 non-alcoholic cocktail in a book by a St. Louis bartender, so the gin is a later addition or the alcohol component was inadvertently omitted in the publication...I suspect the latter. It didn't include egg white.) I am inclined to listing this as an “altered recipe” of the “Celery Sour” with The Grey in Savannah as the place where it was created per the contributor, although it doesn’t show up on their current online cocktail menu. I did locate an old link to their menu showing a “Celery Sour” https://www.opentable.com/r/the-grey. There the egg white is not mentioned but it is under Vintage cocktails as "Gin, Lemon, Pineapple, Celery Bitters"

Krispy Mac

3⁄4 oz Applejack (bonded preferred)
3⁄4 oz Herbal liqueur, Green Chartreuse
3⁄4 oz Nocino (whiskey barrel finished preferred)
3⁄4 oz Lime juice
1 Lime (dehydrated wheel, garnish)
Instructions

Shake, strain into a DOF over a single cube/fresh ice. Garnish with a dehydrated lime wheel

Notes

Tart apple with spices from the Chartreuse and oak from the bourbon barrel finished nocino.

The barrel aging of the nocino is important. It may feel flat without that. The Watershed Nocino may not be widely available. If not you may try a couple dashes of barrel aged bitters to add that note into the drink.

History

Named after the custom, local apple variety that was made for Rouster's Apple House in Milford, OH. A suburb of Cincinnati. The orchard was in operation from 1939-2011.
