Spur of the Moment

3⁄4 oz Blanco tequila, El Jimador
3⁄4 oz Mezcal, Sombra
3⁄4 oz Aromatized wine, Cocchi Americano
3⁄4 oz Dry vermouth, Dolin
2 ds Lemon bitters, Bitter Truth
Instructions

Stir, strain, one big rock, lime wheel garnish.

Notes

Jess did this as part of a consulting gig. It's great; boozy and balanced, but as citrussy and refreshing as can be, given that it's nothing but liquor and wine. Fino sherry in place of the dry vermouth is a nice variation.

  • Used Manzanilla sherry in place of the vermouth but felt it got lost at the listed proportions, so bumped it up to a full ounce. 4 stars with that adjustment.
  • Great with an Amontillado subbed for the Fino.

Midnight Sun

1 oz Cuban rum, Havana Club 3
1 oz Galliano
1 oz White Crème de Cacao
1 1⁄2 oz Grapefruit juice
4 oz Soda water
1 oz Raspberry liqueur (Rubus Arcticus Liqueur)
1 twst Grapefruit peel
3 Raspberry (Rubus Arcticus berries)
Instructions

Shake rum, galliano, crème de Cacao and grapefruit juice with ice. Strain into an ice-filled collins glass. Top with soda water and float the rubus arcticus liqueur. Garnish with lemon peel and berries.

Notes

Rubus arcticus, the provinical plant of Norrbotten, Sweden, is also known as arctic raspberry. The liqueur is a simple concoction of sugar, vodka and rubus arcticus berries.

I guess Crème de Framboises could be used as a substitute.

  • Great with Carpano Antica and prosecco — ★★★★
  • Could lengthen with Topo Chico — ★★★★
  • Alternative recipes: https://www.falstaff.de/rd/c/negroni-sbagliato-highball/ https://www.diffordsguide.com/cocktails/recipe/2515/negroni-sbagliato Also see "The Life Negroni" (p. 267) with a 25/25/75 ratio.
  • Probably the best aperitif of all time IMO. Even better than an Americano. Excellent with 1.5 oz sweet vermouth, 1.5 oz Campari, about 3 oz dry prosecco, and an expressed orange peel or orange wheel.
  • Wonderful aperitivo. Not as sweet as mostly other options and has most things to love about a negroni but much lower alcohol.
  • Punt e Mes is nice in this.
