Kilted Flower

2 oz Scotch
3⁄8 oz CioCiaro (Sub Amer Picon, Torani Amer, or Bigallet China China)
3⁄8 oz Amaro, Cappelletti Sfumato Rabarbaro (Sub Zucca or other Rabarbaro)
1⁄8 oz Demerara syrup
2 ds Bitters, Bittermens Xocolatl Mole (Sub chocolate bitters)
1 twst Orange peel (As garnish)
Instructions

Stir with ice, strain into an old fashioned glass with a large ice cube, and garnish with an orange twist.

Notes

A little smoke in the Scotch department doesn't hurt. I used Cutty Sark Prohibition, but a mix of blended with a little smoky Scotch (perhaps 1/4 oz) could work too. Will prosper without it though.

History

After having the African Flower and the Maravilla, I decided to make a hybrid of them. I combined the amaro from each of them and dropped the crème de cacao, and for a spirit, I figured that somewhere between Bourbon and mezcal was Scotch. Scotch was also on my mind for it was Bobby Burns night besides it working rather well with Amaro Sfumato, and for a name, the Kilted Flower came to mind.

Puebla Centurion

1 1⁄2 oz Blanco tequila (Patron Silver)
1 oz Centerbe (Faccia Brutto)
1⁄2 oz Ancho Reyes chile liqueur
1⁄2 oz Bianco Vermouth, Dolin
Instructions

Stir ingredients with ice, strain into chilled Nick & Nora or coupe. (No garnish planned, although a lime zest or herb sprig could be good options.)

Notes

Patron's gentle agave provides the background tying the Centerbe and Ancho Reyes together. Savory dried ancho flavor and heat complement the vegetal cooking herbs of the Centerbe, while the blanc vermouth provides mild sweetness.

The result is a clear light yellow/green cocktail.

History

The name is a nod to the chile liqueur's origin in historic Puebla de Zaragoza, the latter's martial victory there over the French (represented by the blanc vermouth), and the Italian tradition of Centerbe, "100 herb" liqueur.

  • This drink probably needs curated. I made as written and it was a 2. I remade adding .75oz lemon juice and topped with a drizzle of balsamic reduction and I'd give that a 4 - and it was quite pretty. — ★★★
