Zombie Count

1 oz Gin
1 oz Sweet vermouth
1 oz Campari
1 oz Grapefruit juice
1⁄2 oz Cinnamon syrup
1⁄2 oz Grenadine
1⁄2 oz Lime juice
1 ds Absinthe (12 drops is what I used)
1 ds Bitters, Angostura
1 spg Mint (As garnish)
Instructions

Whip shake, pour into a Zombie glass or Tiki mug, fill with crushed ice, and garnish with mint sprigs.

History

For Negroni Week 2020, I wondered if I could make an interesting mashup with the 1919 legend and a classic Tiki drink. The one that I selected was the 1934 Zombie. To the Zombie recipe, I upped the grapefruit and cinnamon quotient for both pair rather elegantly with Campari. Moreover, I dropped the falernum for there were already enough spiced and herbal elements added to the mix. I also amped up the grenadine considerably for it has frequently been paired with Campari in modern Tiki drinks (one book referred to the flavor duo as "bittersweet"). For a name, it came down to Zombie Count and Count Zombie as a nod to Count Camillo Negroni, and the former won out.

Fiji Mermaid

1 oz Bourbon (I used a softer one -- Four Roses)
1 oz Rum (I used Barbancourt 8)
1⁄2 oz Passion fruit syrup
1⁄2 oz Grenadine
1⁄2 oz Lemon juice
1 ds Bitters, Angostura
10 dr Absinthe
1 twst Lemon peel (As garnish; cut into the shape of fish/mermaid tail if possible)
1 pn Nutmeg (Freshly grated as garnish)
Instructions

Shake with ice, strain into a double old fashioned glass, and fill with crushed ice. Garnish with a lemon peel mermaid's tail and freshly grated nutmeg, and add straws.

History

For a drink of the day at Loyal Nine, I decided to mashup two Tiki classics: the Bourbon-based Port Light with some aspects of the rum-based Test Pilot. For a name, I decided upon the Fiji Mermaid which was a staple of sideshows with the head and torso of a monkey sewn onto the back end of a fish. The original was purchased from Japanese sailors in the South Pacific by an American sea captain in 1822, and it was later exhibited by P.T. Barnum in 1842. Although this specimen was most likely lost in a fire, due to its popularity, others were generated to continue the mythos.

It's a Rad, Rad, Rad, Rad World

1 1⁄2 oz Gin (radish-infused; see Notes)
3⁄4 oz Bénédictine
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
1 twst Lemon peel (as garnish)
3 sli Radish (seasoned and fried, plus greens, as garnish)
Instructions

Shake; strain; up. After expressing the twist, fold it into a pouch and clip it to the glass so that it can hold a radish leaf and some fried radish chips.

Notes

For the infused gin: wash and trim 3-4 round red radishes and grate them on a box grater. Combine with 3/4 c. gin and let sit for a couple of hours. Strain.

For the radish chips: slice a radish into thin slices. Dry and place in an air fryer, give a generous spray with oil, and sprinkle salt, pepper, and garlic powder atop. Fry at 370°F for 10 minutes or so, until darkened and crispy (stir and check as needed).

  • Ellen Sagun — Gin, Bénédictine, Orange Curaçao, Lemon juice, Lemon peel

Nicely balanced, simple (infusion is easy to prepare), w/sensible ratios. The radish comes through as an earthy/slightly peppery note, supported by the juniper of the gin and the modest herbal character of Benedicitine. The lemon flavor/acidity is well matched to the sweetness of the liqueur. Overall flavor is most prominent at the swallow. A solid 4+ out of 5 in terms of flavor.

This has some potential as a base recipe to experiment with a mix of other herbals such as yellow Chartreuse, Strega, and Izarra Jaune. Note that I did not make the radish chips for the garnish (which nevertheless looks like a great idea & presentation.)
