October's Still Green

1 1⁄2 oz Pear eau de vie
1⁄2 oz Lime juice
1⁄4 oz Simple syrup
1 t Herbal liqueur, Green Chartreuse
1 spg Rosemary
Instructions

Muddle rosemary leaves in a shaker tin with Chartreuse, lime juice and simple syrup. Add eau de vie, shake with ice. Double strain in a cocktail glass. Garnish with a parsley sprig.

Notes

Can't add last ingredient - parsley sprig. Muddle it along with rosemary sprig. These herbs work well together. But without parsley it's OK though.

History

This seems like a very odd take on the El Diablo; the recipe is almost identical except for creme de Violette instead of creme de cassis. (The other big difference being that the El Diablo is amazing IMO, and this is, well... not.) Those two ingredients even look similar, both having a deep purple color. Is it possible that the creme de Violette was an error?

Monkey's Older Brother

1 oz Blended Scotch, Monkey Shoulder
1 oz Cognac, Hennessy
2 bsp Simple syrup
1 bsp Allspice Dram
1 ds Bitters, Bittermens New Orleans Coffee
1 ds Bitters, Bittermens Xocolatl Mole
1 sli Orange peel
Instructions

Stir with ice, coupe, garnish with orange zest

Notes

Sub anything else, but the Monkey Shoulder is a must. The Bitter Truth Aromatic Bitters work well if the coffee is not to hand.

History

The name came first. Gian won a Monkey Shoulder competition and we started playing with words.

Rafa, I think that's only a Sazerac in the way that you could use a Dali watch to tell time. Thanks, Zachary

DrunkLab commented on 1/26/2015:

Ha. I agree, but I don't like to rename other people's drinks as a rule, however inaccurate that name is. And this is a delicious drink regardless, though I don't know that it's better than Yamazaki straight.

  • A weirdly large group of ingredients and a big drink. The result is complex and surprisingly herbal and bitter. The E and B are a stretch.
  • More interesting than a martini.

Thyme Cocktail

1 1⁄2 oz Pear eau de vie
1⁄2 oz Cinnamon syrup
1⁄4 oz Lemon juice
3 spg Thyme
Instructions

Muddle thyme leaves in a shaker tin with lemon juice and syrup. Add eau de vie, shake with ice. Double strain in a cocktail glass. Garnish with a pear slice and thyme sprig.

Notes

Tested with homemade cinnamon-infused simple syrup, not too sweet (equal parts of sugar and water). Add more juice if a syrup is very sweet.
Use fresh thyme only.
Plain vodka will work here too but with less effect.

1 t Gunpowder Rum, Smoke 'n Oakum's
1 t Maraschino Liqueur
1 t Bénédictine
1 twst Orange peel
Instructions

Stir, strain, coupe, twist

Notes

Gunpowder Rum is hard to fake, but in the quantity required for this drink you'd probably get away with Smith & Cross. The Hawthorn Lounge prepares batches of the four minor ingredients to make them easier to handle.
