Bijou des Alpes

1 1⁄2 oz Gin
1 oz Cardamaro
1 oz Genepy, Dolin Genepy des Alpes
2 ds Orange bitters, Regans' orange bitters
Instructions

Stir, strain, coupe.

Notes

I used Death's Door Gin, but feel free to experiment, as different gins will bring out different notes in the Cardamaro and Genepy, as will different bitters.

History

A variation of a bijou with Genepy substituted for Chartreuse and the wine-based Cardamaro subbed for the sweet vermouth.

laerm commented on 3/22/2020:

Too whiskey-sour-like with these ratios. I swapped the bourbon and Swedish punsch and added a spoon of aquavit and found it more interesting.

Papa's vermouth cocktail

1⁄4 oz Maraschino Liqueur
4 ds Grapefruit bitters
3 ds Orange bitters
2 twst Lemon peel (Garnish with one)
Instructions

Shake all ingredients except lemon wedges with ice, strain in small wine glass. Spritz both lemon twists on top and garnish with one.

Variation on the fancy vermouth cocktail as in Imbibe! The grapefruit bitters with the maraschino give it hints of the Hemingway daiquiri.
