The Hell Out of d'Auge

1 oz Cynar
1⁄2 oz Calvados
1 pn Salt
1 pn Coffee
Instructions

Stir, strain over one large rock, garnishing with salt and powdered coffee on the ice cube such that it enters the drink as it dilutes (a la Little Giuseppe/Little Valiant).

Notes

A weird one, not for everyone. Acidic cider and cherry flavors balance dark sweetness and bitterness.

  • Very interesting, grape/cherry/bitter chocolate flavors. With Tattersall Sour Cherry, grapefruit comes through more strongly. — ★★★★

Dan commented on 2/09/2016:

Not sure the absinthe adds a complementary flavor. I would try omitting it next time.


The complexity of the flavours only come out with the absinthe so I wouldn't omit it but I would go light on the rinse or use something a little rounder in taste like absinthe rouge.

Dan commented on 7/10/2016:

I found it too sweet with you 1/4 oz lemon juice, so I bumped it to 1/2 oz and added two dashes lemon bitters. I also made it with a mild single malt. A pleasant cocktail.


Lemon bitters sounds like a good call. I was thinking a little bitterness would enhance the Drambuie-heavy finish, but the best option on my shelf was Fee's orange which I thought would alter the flavor too much.

  • Used .5oz rich demerara syrup--was eminently drinkable. Chartreuse doing the heavy lifting but cognac provides a nice depth to the base — ★★★★
  • Tried 0.5 simple since I'm careful w/too sweet. This is very good. It starts out like a sidecar, then mellows out w/the chartreuse sneaking in the back. Fantastic cognac drink. (👍)
  • Yummy!! Perhaps a tad too sweet. May drop simple to 1/2 oz.

Refernce to another drink of the same name notes- “The Bourbon anchors the cocktail, the Amaro Diesus adds aroma and Angostura bitters gives it complexity.” But can't locate the recipe or Marie Celeste’s Carlos Madriz.

  • Very good option with ingredients you probably have.
  • Yummy Bright. Perfect grapefruit
  • didn't have the right bitters, used a grapefruit twist and dash of peychaud's instead.. a little tart, would try again with a tiny bit of syrup maybe
  • Used Sage (Art in the Age), Leopold Bros Maraschino, St. Germain. Bitters help brighten this drink. Refreshing. Shake/Strain/Coupe. Have also added chile lime seasoning for an interesting kick. — ★★★★
  • Made with Glendalough autumn gin and my grapefruit bitters and very nice!
  • Used Conniption Gin, Dashfire Grapefruit Bitters. Very refreshing.
