Genever? I Hardly Know 'Er!

2 oz Genever
3⁄4 oz Drambuie
1 ds Bitters, Boker's
1 ds Lavender bitters
1 twst Lemon peel
3 Clove (for studding lemon peel)
4 oz Tea (hot, herbal)
Instructions

Build in a london dock glass or mug, topping with the hot tea; rooibos and chamomile work well.

Notes

Without the tea or cloves and with the Drambuie cut back to 1/2 oz, served on a rock, I call this Winter Is Coming.

History

Winter came, y'all.

Rob Marais commented on 1/21/2014:

Quite nice, actually. Especially while listening to vintage cuts by Jim Reeves, Patsy Cline or Chet Atkins. The "Nashville Sound" genre was often referred to locally in Nashville as "Countrypolitan". Frankly, though, I'd stick with the lemon in this.

DrunkLab commented on 1/21/2014:

I agree, I just listed lime in this recipe recipe as Wondrich hadn't indicated otherwise. Patsy Cline a must, though I also enjoy the more contemporary take on the Nashville Sound linked in the notes.

Zachary Pearson commented on 1/21/2014:

If you've never heard Hem - they were a big deal a few years back - it's lovely dreamy Countrypolitan.

Thanks,

Zachary

  • To reduce the bitterness, I reduced the Fernet Branca to 0.80 oz and increased the Rittenhouse to 1.25 oz. Still too bitter. Added another 1 oz Rittenhouse and 1 dash bitters. Better but rate 2.0 Suggest 0.33 to 0.50 oz Fernet Branca.
  • I love how the Fernet Branca and yellow Charteuse play together!

Not bad - I used Cruzan black strap, Worthy Park and Appleton. Might be better without the super dark substitute and with the overproof.

  • Nice drink. The orange blossom makes the drink. Too small, though! Up everything ¾ instead of ½.
  • Quite sweet (honey-ish of course). Honey, orange, and tobacco. Needs juicy twists. A good after-dinner drink.
