Deeply Sherry containing, nice evolution, sherry nutty / raisin-ey notes throughout. That's usually a three for me, individual mileage may vary.

  • A bit sweet, but I had to make my own lighter spiced rum with 4-1-1 Barbancourt 8, velvet falernum and allspice dram.
  • This tastes *so* much like a berry-flavored Orange Julius. It's great!

Zachary Pearson commented on 5/27/2014:

Curated this a bit: removed "fresh squeezed" from the OJ. Changed "Kraken Spiced Rum" to "Kraken", which is a brand of spiced rum. Removed extraneous note that was causing line breakage, clarified the twist as garnish.

Thanks,

Zachary

this is a handsome looking cocktail. I added a small amount of egg whites and that really added to the visual appeal.

Now Voyager

1 oz Jamaican rum
1 oz Rhum Agricole
1 oz Bonal Gentiane Quina
2 ds Bitters, Bittermens Xocolatl Mole
1 twst Lemon peel (expressed and discarded)
Instructions

Stir, strain, up.

Notes

A bittered Pompadour playing off Bonal's similarity to Pineau des Charentes and affinity for Jamaican rum, named for a Bette Davis film where she sports that hairstyle. Sort of a Patois crossed with a Mai Tai as well.

Meh...sorry to be a downer but this didn't work for me.  I used Depaz rhum agricole, Appleton 12, Bonal, and Bitterman's Xocolatl Mole and it just felt like a bad mix.  Maybe a different run would have helped - perhaps something stronger like Smith & Cross.  IN the end it just seemed like a good idea, with some ingredients I love that nonetheless came across as somehow being "off."  Certainly not undrinkable, but not something I'd make again, or recommend.

Appellation Cooler

2 oz Muscadet wine (or other dry white wine)
1 oz Aromatized wine, Cocchi Americano

1 t Apricot liqueur

Instructions

Build in a wineglass over ice and stir; garnish with thin, seedless slices of cucumber.

Notes

Basil-infused bianco: add 20 basil leaves to a full size bottle of Dolin Blanc (or 10 to a 375), let steep for 24 hours, strain and refrigerate.

  • Loads of raspberry seeds. Should strain them out.

Nothing special but enjoyable - I don't mind the seeds and flesh of raspberries, but a bit of lime on top helps. A grown up Shirley Temple?

Strange Mercy

1 oz Genever, Bols
1 oz Gin, St. George Terroir
1⁄2 oz Tea syrup (jasmine green tea 1:1 with sugar)
1 ds Peychaud's Bitters
1 ds Orange bitters
1 twst Lemon peel (expressed and discarded)
Instructions

Stir, strain, up or rock, twist.

Notes

These two spirits work extremely well together, and even if you don't have the tea syrup (which is cheap, quick, and easy to make) I recommend trying them out together with different sweeteners: Bénédictine, Drambuie, honey, Maraschino, simple, whatever you have around.
