  • Nice summer drink. I've also made this adding a few drops of black pepper tincture which compliments the drink nicely.

Curated this slightly: Pamplemousse Rose is a brand of grapefruit liqueur made by Combier.

Thanks,

Curated to restore dead website link with an active archive link. Also added Cinzano Extra Dry to database so that it could be correctly called in this recipe.

Source recipe calls for 3/4 oz Lustau Dry Amontillado, 3/4 oz Lustau Dry Oloroso.

DrunkLab commented on 10/19/2020:

That was Frederic's interpretation of the recipe, rather than the original as published.

yarm commented on 10/20/2020:

Everything on my blog that is in parenthesis is how I interpret the recipe whether by brand, volume, or modification. I split the two very similar styles (Amontillado & Oloroso) since I was probably killing off a bottle but it was 9 years ago. I didn't have a Fino or Manzanilla back then but it would be my go to now for this recipe especially since it would let the other ingredients shine more.

Sage and Chartreuse Smash

2 lf Sage (one as garnish)
1⁄2 Lime (cut into wedges)
1 T Honey
2 oz Herbal liqueur, Chartreuse
Instructions

Muddle all but the alcohol in an old fashioned glass. Add crushed ice, add alcohol, top up with more crushed ice and garnish with a second sage leaf.

Notes

Variation of Bon Appetit's chartreuse smash. I see no need for the gin, just double the chartreuse! I cut their honey down a bit (In fact, as I was in the middle of a move, I just used the maple syrup I had on hand and it was fine. Simple syrup would probably be enough).

  • I might try adding back some gin; doesn't seem like the sharpness it might lend would seem out of place. By the end this inched up to a 4. — ★★★★

This seems like a tiny tiny drink. it's basically 2 1/2 ounces?

Thanks,

Zachary

DrunkLab commented on 6/04/2014:

Is that so small? That's basically the size of a Caipirinha (2 oz booze + lime wedges + ~2 tbsp sugar).

Zachary Pearson commented on 6/05/2014:

Rafa,

It just seems like a small amount of drink compared to the ice.

Thanks,

Zachary

Hisurfadvisory commented on 9/03/2018:

Nice cocktail.  Pulled some fresh sage leaves from the garden and honey from our neighbor’s hive.  Make a honey syrup or it will solidify under the crushed ice.

  • Pretty good, I added a brandy cherry, just cuz.
  • Pretty good - Bourbon gets a bit lost under the Mezcal and Nonino. I added a lemon twist to try to pull it out a bit.
  • Substituted Meletti for Nonino and was excellent.
