Club Garden

1 oz Scotch
1 oz Apple brandy
1⁄2 oz Ramazzotti
1⁄2 oz Apricot liqueur
1 ds Peychaud's Bitters
1 twst Orange peel (as garnish)
Instructions

Stir with ice, strain into a cocktail coupe, and garnish with an orange twist.

History

I became inspired by Eric Alperin's Skid Row with its Ramazzotti-apricot combination. I eventually landed on swapping out the Genever for Scotch for how well it works with Ramazzotti in the Black Scottish Cyclops and aged apple brandy for how it is complemented by apricot liqueur. Instead of naming it after a skid row of Boston, I named it after a seedy underworld operations during Prohibition and dubbed it the Club Garden after a famous speakeasy raided during Prohibition in 1932 across from the Boston Garden arena.

Very nice, and well balanced! I had to sub with Johnnie Walker Black (lower proof than the Cutty Sark Prohibition--which looks interesting) but this worked well. The apricot and apple are in good balance, with the Ramazzotti providing some red berry, root and baking spice notes to the body from the scotch.

Biff Malibu commented on 4/09/2024:

Scotch is a bit dominant; worth trying with 0.75 oz

Close but no Cynar

3⁄4 oz Herbal liqueur, Yellow Chartreuse
3⁄4 oz Light rum, Plantation 3 Star
1⁄2 oz Elderflower liqueur, St. Germain
1⁄2 oz Orgeat (I used one from brown sugar and pecans, sweetened with honey.)
3⁄4 oz Lime juice

History

A riff on the “Artichoke Hold” which replaces its key ingredient Cynar with Yellow Chartreuse and two dashes of grapefruit bitters.

Is there any word as to whether Creme Yvette will ever be available again? Or has it gone the way of Cordial Medoc?

Coco Cocoa Daiquiri

1 1⁄2 oz Coconut rum (Important to use an actual rum instead of a rum based liqueur)
1⁄2 oz Fernet Branca
1⁄2 oz Crème de Cacao, Tempus Fugit
1⁄2 oz Orgeat
1 oz Lime juice
Instructions

Shake and double strain into a chilled coup.

Notes

I designed this drink for a quality coconut rum, as opposed to coconut liqueur. The particular coconut rum I used, Koloa, is 80 proof and has both coconut and chocolate notes. I played up the chocolate with créme de cacao, and added fernet for a bitter counterpoint to the coconut and chocolate.

Haunting Hacienda

1 1⁄2 oz Blanco tequila
1⁄2 oz Campari
1 oz Lime juice
1⁄2 oz Blood orange (Liber & Co.)
3 dr Salt Solution (20%)
Instructions

In a cocktail shaker, combine all the ingredients
Shake with ice for 10-12 seconds
Strain into a glass over ice
Garnish with a wheel of blood orange and a sprig of mint

Notes

Blanco tequila's earthy agave notes are paired with Liber & Co.’s blood orange cordial and the bitter bite of Campari. Fresh lime juice brings acidity and balance, while a touch of salt brings it back to margarita territory, resulting in a familiar yet unique Halloween libation.
