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.

Curated this slightly - changed the volume of Champagne to fit into a flute instead of "one glass", which can be vague.

Thanks,

Zachary

Shawn C commented on 4/25/2025:

Interesting that the link does not list the creator. There is a recent version of the cocktail attributed to James Cottingham. The only notable difference is the addition of 1.5 oz of pink grapefruit juice. https://chilledmagazine.com/cocktails/the-bang-bang/ I assume he is the original creator, but do not know if he updated the recipe or if the grapefruit juice was omitted in whatever the original source was.

Uno, Dos, Cuarenta y Tres

1 1⁄4 oz Light rum
1⁄2 oz Spiced Rum, Sailor Jerry
1⁄2 oz Jamaican rum, Smith & Cross
1⁄2 oz Licor 43
1⁄2 oz Lime juice (heavy)
5 dr Bolivar Bitters, Bittercube
Instructions

Shake, strain, chilled coupe

Notes

Sailor Jerry MUST be the spiced rum used in this drink--the vanilla and cherry undertones play off the Licor 43 and the island spice of the bitters

History

A nice, heady, twist on a daiquiri
