History

Curator's note: The history of this very non-standard Kentucky Mule is unclear. The submission from 2014 includes an image of the menu from the Lumberyard, so presumably it was served there. The name has been changed to reflect that.

  • Pretty good martini variant
  • Made with Dolin Genepy Boissiere, and Beefeater. A slightly sweet, slightly odd Martini variation.

You forgot the marijuana.

DrunkLab commented on 2/11/2014:

I've always found both Branca products to have a definite pot(still?) funk.

That said:

Jamaican rum, Smith & Cross (marijuana-infused; primo only—no stems, no seeds; Colorado and Washington states only)

Garnish with grated nug.

  • Very nice. Used Courvoisier & Rittenhouse Rye. I appreciate the chocolatey notes - this could easily be a dessert cocktail, or sub for an espresso martini at brunch. I increased proportions by ~ 1/3 to fill a coupe.
  • A bit too chocolatey. Next time only 1 dash bitters
  • Not as dark and thick as I anticipated. Somehow both metallic and chocolatey. Coffee finish.

Do you stutter when you say "Pedro"?

My wife and I thank you for passing this along! 5 star.

flickerdart commented on 7/21/2021:

I also quite enjoy this with an Armagnac - the extra fruit flavor plays well with the raisin of the sherry.

flickerdart commented on 4/02/2025:

If you prefer a drier drink, this goes incredibly well with rye instead of scotch and a medium sherry (I used oloroso), although the reduced sugar loses a bit of that rich mouthfeel.

  • Great Boulevardier riff
  • Very nice. Reduced the maraschino a touch.
  • Starts out a bit too sweet, but has a nice subtle bitter finish.
  • Pretty balanced. I used Buffalo Trace.
  • Surprisingly tasty, and not too sweet. I made this with Knob Creek bourbon and Lazzaroni maraschino.
  • Tad less maraschino
