Old Man Zeke

1 oz Bourbon, Maker's Mark 46
1 oz Amaro Meletti
1⁄3 oz Grade A dark color and robust taste maple syrup, Trader Joe's Bourbon Barrel Aged
3 ds Bitters, Fee Brothers Whiskey Barrel Aged
1⁄4 oz Orange juice
3 oz Stout, Samuel Smith's Organic Chocolate Stout
Instructions

Combine the first five ingredients with ice, then shake until chilled. Add the chocolate stout, then combine by pouring the drink between the two halves of the shaker two or three times. Fine strain into a large chilled martini glass.

Notes

The spices of the amaro and bitters ride atop a wave of sweet cocoa. Drinks like Guinness. Kicks like a mule.

History

Named after my family's old dog and inspired by Trevor Callies' Baverniess, which combines whiskey, Averna and Guinness to intriguing effect. Thought I'd try some more potent flavors that I had on hand. Spiced, warming Meletti for the Averna, Barrel Aged Maple Syrup for the standard stuff, cinnamon-laced Fee Brothers Whiskey Barrel Aged bitters in place of Angostura, and the dangerously rich Samuel Smith's Chocolate Stout to finish.

Like our late mutt, the drink is big, strong, kinda sweet, and definitely won't help you get anything done with your day.

Curated this slightly - simplified the note on the Bourbon -  all OGD variants are high-rye, edited to "bonded".  Thanks,  Zachary

  • 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.

  • 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.
