3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
1⁄4 oz Rich simple syrup 2:1

Notes

Can go a little longer on the syrup to play up the bitter notes or a little shorter to play up the sour. Swap for a lemon twist for more citrus and less floral notes.

Plátano Imitación

1 oz Mezcal, Del Maguey Vida
1 oz Añejo rum (pref. Uruapan Charanda Anejo)
1⁄2 oz Aperol
1⁄2 oz Sweet vermouth, Carpano Antica Formula
1⁄4 oz Oleo-saccharum (Banana)
1 ds Bitters, Angostura
1 ds Bitters, Fee Brothers Black Walnut
Instructions

Stir all ingredients over ice and strain into chilled Nick and Nora glass.

Notes

To make the banana oleo-saccharum, I cut the peels from two bright yellow bananas into 1/2" pieces and placed them in a small mason jar with 5 tsp granulated white sugar. The jar was sealed tight and left for 24 hours at room temperature before straining the resulting liquid through a coffee filter.

History

Attempting to recreate a wonderful cocktail from a recent outing to a local imbibery. The original featured tobacco bitters and madeira. Without those ingredients at home, I replaced the tobacco bitters with a dash each of Angostura and black walnut bitters, and the madeira with a half measure of Carpano Antica. Proportions of the original were unknown, but 2:1:1/4 felt right for this split-base, Manhattan/Boulevardier offshoot.

History

This cocktail was borne out of scarcity. I had a bunch of bottles with dregs in them, but I wanted a negroni. Turns out, splitting the elements made for a very interesting drink. I didn't split the base and I'm glad because the funk of the S&C stood up well to what was going on with the sweets. FWIW, it seemed to improve with a little time to sit. Or maybe that was just my mood.

History

Muzetta's Waltz is my La Boheme themed riff on The Bohemian cocktail, which I believe was created in the early 2000s.

  • Muzetta's Waltz is enjoyed best when listening to La Boheme or any of Puccini's classic operas! Technically, it doesn't have to be Puccini or even an opera at all, this drink just sips like a fine aria - it's music to your ears.
