1⁄2 oz Mezcal
1⁄2 oz Lime juice

Other kinds of chile syrup are also good here -- habanero especially. The more bitey the syrup is, the more play there is with the smoke.

Midnight Sun

1 oz Cuban rum, Havana Club 3
1 oz Galliano
1 oz White Crème de Cacao
1 1⁄2 oz Grapefruit juice
4 oz Soda water
1 oz Raspberry liqueur (Rubus Arcticus Liqueur)
1 twst Grapefruit peel
3 Raspberry (Rubus Arcticus berries)
Instructions

Shake rum, galliano, crème de Cacao and grapefruit juice with ice. Strain into an ice-filled collins glass. Top with soda water and float the rubus arcticus liqueur. Garnish with lemon peel and berries.

Notes

Rubus arcticus, the provinical plant of Norrbotten, Sweden, is also known as arctic raspberry. The liqueur is a simple concoction of sugar, vodka and rubus arcticus berries.

I guess Crème de Framboises could be used as a substitute.

Negroni Sbagliato

1 oz Sweet vermouth
1 oz Campari
1 oz Sparkling white wine
1 sli Orange (as garnish)
Instructions

Build vermouth and Campari with ice. Top with wine, stir, and garnish.

History

"Sbagliato" means "screwed up"--the idea being that the drink came to be when a bartender reached for a wine bottle instead of a gin bottle when making a Negroni.

  • Great with Carpano Antica and prosecco — ★★★★
  • Could lengthen with Topo Chico — ★★★★
  • Alternative recipes: https://www.falstaff.de/rd/c/negroni-sbagliato-highball/ https://www.diffordsguide.com/cocktails/recipe/2515/negroni-sbagliato Also see "The Life Negroni" (p. 267) with a 25/25/75 ratio.
  • Probably the best aperitif of all time IMO. Even better than an Americano. Excellent with 1.5 oz sweet vermouth, 1.5 oz Campari, about 3 oz dry prosecco, and an expressed orange peel or orange wheel.
  • Wonderful aperitivo. Not as sweet as mostly other options and has most things to love about a negroni but much lower alcohol.
  • Punt e Mes is nice in this.

Made with red grapefruit, imagine white would work better but still a decent drink. Citrus heavy.

Hi,

Which Bitter Truth bitters are you thinking about here? Thanks,  Zachary

Canoy commented on 5/31/2015:
