Shake all but allspice tincture. Strain into an ice filled tiki mug, and garnish with allspice tincture.

Notes

We made a Big Watt Beverage Co.'s "Circuit Bender" coldpress coffee syrup--1 part concentrate, 1 part dilution, 1 part raw sugar

1⁄2 oz Lime juice

Instructions

Muddle rosemary leaves in a shaker tin with Chartreuse, lime juice and simple syrup. Add eau de vie, shake with ice. Double strain in a cocktail glass. Garnish with a parsley sprig.

Notes

Can't add last ingredient - parsley sprig. Muddle it along with rosemary sprig. These herbs work well together. But without parsley it's OK though.

jensck commented on 5/08/2016:

This seems like a very odd take on the El Diablo; the recipe is almost identical except for creme de Violette instead of creme de cassis. (The other big difference being that the El Diablo is amazing IMO, and this is, well... not.) Those two ingredients even look similar, both having a deep purple color. Is it possible that the creme de Violette was an error?


Monkey's Older Brother

1 oz Blended Scotch, Monkey Shoulder
1 oz Cognac, Hennessy
1 ds Bitters, Bittermens New Orleans Coffee
Instructions

Stir with ice, coupe, garnish with orange zest

Notes

Sub anything else, but the Monkey Shoulder is a must. The Bitter Truth Aromatic Bitters work well if the coffee is not to hand.

History

The name came first. Gian won a Monkey Shoulder competition and we started playing with words.

Rafa, I think that's only a Sazerac in the way that you could use a Dali watch to tell time. Thanks, Zachary


Ha. I agree, but I don't like to rename other people's drinks as a rule, however inaccurate that name is. And this is a delicious drink regardless, though I don't know that it's better than Yamazaki straight.

  • A weirdly large group of ingredients and a big drink. The result is complex and surprisingly herbal and bitter. The E and B are a stretch.
  • More interesting than a martini.
