  • Added maraschino liqueur and tweaked proportions a bit. Used Havana and Hide bitters. Quite tasty. Need to try again and record exact recipe.

Singapore Punch (Shelter)

1 1⁄2 oz Gin, Plymouth
3⁄4 oz Lime juice
1⁄2 oz Aperol
1⁄4 oz Bénédictine
Instructions

Shake, strain over ice and soda in a Collins, garnish with a cherry and orange flag.

Notes

My take on the Singapore/Raffles Sling, staying somewhat true to the (probable) original recipe of gin/cherry/Bénédictine/lime/water while introducing the fruitiness and effervescence that guests expect from the drink (and keeping the pour cost down via reduced Benny/Heering). Taking its cue from the Eclipse's Heering/Aperol combo, this is still not one of my favorite drinks--I think it could benefit from a barrel-aged bass note or a bright top one--but it's flavorful, approachable, refreshing, and not the slop of syrups and juices that most Singapores are. Most importantly from a service point of view, it's the right color.

  • The fernet is overpowering. That's not really a *bad* thing per se but it drink comes across as a little one-note. Might want to dial it back?

Satan's Whiskers (Satan's Whiskers)

Instructions

Shake (including orange slice), strain, up, twist.

Notes

An update on the "classic" Satan's Whiskers from the eponymous London bar, augmenting the orange juice with lemon for what M. Frog of Tartines to Tikis characterizes as a fresh and lively drink that avoids the common cocktail ailment of death by orange.

  • Somewhat complicated prep but the payoff justifies it. I used PFDC instead of Grand Marnier. Well balanced with just enough bitterness.

Ron-Yki-On Guess

2 oz Rum (Roasted ginger infused)
1⁄2 oz Lime juice
1⁄2 oz Agave syrup
Instructions

Shake and strain all but the bitters - float this on top. To shortcut the ginger infused rum, I did a rapid infusion with an ISI cream whipper and fresh ginger

Notes

Please correct if you know better, especially if you are Greg.

Original calls for ginger infused rum; as a shortcut I did a rapid infusion of fresh ginger in an ISI cream whipper. Original has cardamom-sugar rim instead of the bitters.
