Fitzcarraldo

1 1⁄2 oz Pisco
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
1⁄4 oz Simple syrup (scant; Shellenberger calls for 3g)
Instructions

Shake, fine strain, up.

Notes

Shellenberger attempted to aromatize his Pisco by redistilling it with mistelle (unfermeted grape juice); perhaps a rinse of Pineau des Charentes, or a muddled grape or two, could produce a similar aroma.

Really good drink! I added 1/2oz of orange juice and didn't have vanilla syrup so I used cinnamon syrup and added a dash of vanilla.  Really good!

  • I subbed 1.75 Laphroaig 10 and .25 Laphroaig Quarter Cask. I shook this as it had lime. I liked it, then remembered I didn't float the Campari. Did that and then thought it was only so so (probably a 3). Skip the Campari!

  • Really good, but I made mine a bit different with Ketel One grapefruit/rose with a dash of rose water. Maybe I'll try the original using Grey Goose Poire since I can't get the Hangar One...

Pimm's Word

3⁄4 oz Gin
3⁄4 oz Lime juice (Rangpur, if possible)
Instructions

Shake, up, sour glass or coupe.

Notes

Rangpurs have a touch of bitterness, so if using regular lime, a dash of lime or orange bitters might be appropriate.

  • Seems to evoke tangerine, much in the same way the Jasmine evokes grapefruit.

Kind of a pisco sour with elderflower instead of simple syrup... me likey.


Seemed like it could use a little more sweetness, the .5 St Germain was not enough to balance the oz of citrus


La Perique

1 oz Rye (Rooibos-aromatized)
1⁄2 oz Lemon juice
1⁄2 oz Dry vermouth
Instructions

Shake, strain, up.

Notes

It obviously won't be the same as redistilling rye with rooibos, but infusing rooibos tea in rye works well here.

Practically a Blood and Sand with vermouth... scanty.


The Pipe

3⁄4 oz Rye (rooibos-aromatized)
3⁄4 oz Aquavit (caraway-forward)
3⁄4 oz Rosato Vermouth
3⁄4 oz Dry sherry
1⁄2 oz Demerara Rum, Lemon Hart 151 (or El Dorado 151, as float)
Instructions

Stir, strain, up, float.

Notes

1. It obviously won't be the same as redistilling rye with rooibos, but infusing rooibos tea in rye works well here. 2. I've used both Lillet Rosé and Cocchi Rosa as substitutes for rosé vermouth, to good results.

The Sanctuaria house cinnamon syrup features orange peel, vanilla, Pommeau, and brandy, so consider adding a bit of one or more of those for complexity.
