Pee Bee & Jay

1 1⁄2 oz Peanut butter whiskey, Skrewball
1 oz Aromatized wine, Lillet Rouge
1⁄2 oz Chambord
Instructions

Add all ingredients to mixing glass and stir with ice. Serve up, in chilled coupe.

Notes

Yes, sweet, it’s supposed to be. But not cloyingly so. Tried sweet vermouth first, but the Lillet is a better partner.

Gens du Monde

1 oz Bourbon, Booker's
1 oz Maurin Quina
1 oz Amaro Nonino
2 ds Bitters, Angostura
2 ds Bitters, Angostura Orange
2 ds Bitters, Bittermens Xocolatl Mole
Instructions

Stir with ice, strain into snifter glass

Notes

I used Wild Turkey Rare Breed Bourbon (I didn't have Booker's.) This is a great combination of Maurin Quina and Nonino. They work harmoniously with the bourbon (not unlike my "Devil's Gondolier" which uses Select Aperitivo with Maurin Quina, and no bitters) While I generally don't favor/use Angostura's Orange Bitters unless called out, in this case the latter helps provide a tang that accentuates the Nonino in this recipe--the overall bitters package is a force multiplier here.

Day Old Bread

1 1⁄2 oz Rye
1⁄2 oz Aquavit
1⁄2 oz Bénédictine
1⁄2 oz Cynar
2 ds Bitters, Angostura
1 rinse Absinthe
Instructions

Stir with ice and strain into a coupe rinsed with absinthe.

History

I was inspired to riff on Maks Pazuniak's 100 Year Old Cigar, and I swapped the dark rum accented by smoky Islay Scotch for a 3:1 rye whiskey to aquavit combination that I have used in drinks like Mockingbird, Wish Me Luck and was still fresh on my mind from having the Mergers & Acquisitions two weeks prior. I dubbed the drink Day Old Bread due to the rye and caraway notes.

  • I liked the Rye compliment to the Caraway in the Aquavit. I used my house-made Aquavit.
  • Boozy and mature though slightly on the sweet side. Made with a BFC and absinthe spray in addition to light rinse. — ★★★★★
