Fox Hunt

1 1⁄2 oz Pimm's No. 1 Cup
1⁄2 oz Gin, Beefeater
1⁄4 oz Simple syrup (Fat)
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
2 ds Peychaud's Bitters
1 rinse Cynar
Instructions

Build in shaker. Go a little fat on the simple but not a half ounce. Rinse chilled, stemmed glass with Cynar, leaving a bit at the bottom (more can be fun but I like to leave this one accessible). Shake well but not too much as Pimm's doesn't have the proof. Strain and garnish with a few more drops Peychaud's.

Curated this. There were two versions of this drink, and we're obviously going to correct my version to Kyle's. I've merged them. Thanks,  Zachary

1⁄4 oz Genepy, Dolin Genepy des Alpes
1 ds Bitters, Angostura
Instructions

Build In Mixing Glass, Add Large Ice Cubes, Stir, and Strain into a Chilled, Stemmed Glass.

Infuse 6 grams of Chamomile into 1 bottle of Noilly Pratt Ambre for 10 minutes. Not really a sweet vermouth, but works perfect in this instance.

2 1⁄5 oz Apple cider (spiced)

3 oz Sparkling white wine

  • Smoky but sherry dominates. Also a bit sweet.
  • Mostly because of the sherry.
  • Sophisticated and well balanced.

Sounds tasty, Rafa. There must be potential for a series of Poe-based drinks. The Tell-Tale (Lemon) H(e)art, perhaps?

DrunkLab commented on 4/25/2014:

Good idea, Leslie, and a perfect project for one with the skills of a man such as yourself. May I suggest grenadine, or another bloody colorant, for your Tell-Tale Hart? Suggestions for the series: Arthur Gordon Pimm's, Morella (with kirsch or Maraschino), Kingdom by the Sea (King's Ginger, maritime Scotch).

acell310 commented on 5/28/2015:

Nice and balanced. I included the elderflower and used fee brothers bitters.

Shawn C commented on 12/10/2024:

Nice cocktail with complex flavors. The source reference doesn't specify the Irish whiskey. Is Redbreast the actual original call, or was this the KC member's preferred choice? I made this with Martini & Rossi Ambrato since Noilly Prat Ambre doesn't appear to be available in the U.S. at this time...on my wishlist for for my next import buy.

1 oz Genever

2 Kumquat

Muddle kumquats in liqueur. Stir to combine and fine strain over packed ice in a julep cup, topping with Champagne, more ice, and a slapped mint sprig. Serve with straw.

History

A recent episode of Inside Amy Schumer mentioned an elderflower and kumquat julep, and I thought that sounded tasty.
