1 1⁄2 oz Irish whiskey, Jameson Black Barrel
1⁄2 oz Irish whiskey, Connemara (or other peated whisk(e)y)
1 oz Cardamaro
3⁄4 oz Lime juice
3⁄4 oz Ginger-Honey Syrup
1⁄2 t Tamarind chutney
3 ds Bitters, Dr Adam Elmegirab's Orinoco Bitters
1 1⁄2 oz Vanilla Soda water
1 pn Nutmeg (as garnish)
Instructions

Shake, strain over one large ice cube in a mustache cup* or highball, top with vanilla cream soda, garnish.

Notes

A mustache cup was used by 19th Century sporting men to keep their tipples out of their mustaches. For more on the sporting class, see Wondrich's Imbibe!

History

This will probably remain the only drink on KindredCocktails to specify tamarind chutney.

History

There are several drinks going by "Bacardí Cocktail" attested to in old books; the most famous is a Daiquirí reddened by grenadine, and the oldest I know of is a stirred drink of Bacardí, sweet vermouth, and pineapple syrup. Here's a mashup.

  • 4.5 if I could. Agree with easy on the bitters
  • Not too heavy on the bitters.

Made with previous suggestion (light on the bitters = 1 dash… still overpowers the delicate nature of the Stiggins’ Fancy. Next time I make this I’ll use a dropper.) Overall I was expecting this to be sweeter but the small amount of lime really sharpens the drink up - quite dry. I’m not one to alter an old recipe but, personally, I’d kick the Maraschino up 50% and (don’t hate!) swap the Biano Vermouth with one of my favorites: Cocchi Storico di Torino. I actually like the dry aspect but it’s an odd flavor profile when expecting a bit more sweetness. And that wonderful pineapple rum (I do not normally enjoy rum but I can’t not have Stiggins’ stocked to sip on here and there. It’s a fantastic expression!)

Made this as written and the Benedictine was overpowering, but another couple ounces of champagne balanced it excellently.
