  • I used the wrong cachaca for this, and my twist was meager. I think it'd be worth trying again.

Aul Man

2 oz Irish whiskey, Mitchell & Son Green Spot
1⁄4 oz Bitter Truth EXR
1⁄4 oz Lime juice
1 t Ginger-Honey Syrup
1 twst Lime peel (garnish)
2 ? Candied ginger (garnish)
Instructions

Shake, double-strain, straight up, chilled coupe, garnish

History

I dug the deeper flavor that Mitchell & Son has over other Irish whiskeys, so I wanted to build something that would let the whiskey be central. Although the build for this is simple, the EXR provides a nice herbal and vegetal base for the honey, ginger, and barrel notes to shine

  • I liked this a lot. Made it with plymouth navy strength and 1821 baltimore bitters. Strong, but still well balanced. Revised: upgraded rating to 5. I find myself making this frequently.
  • Chartreuse adds a nice complexity to this
  • subbed iki bitters
  • Real good martini variant
  • Herbacious.
  • Try
  • Nice martini variation. Boozy and herbal, but not overpowering. Strong drink.

  • I have also made a 'clear' version of this by blender muddling the rum and thai basil, letting it sit for a couple hours and then filtering through 2 coffee filters. — ★★★★
