  • The Peychauds make this pretty but add little taste given the Galliano. I like the idea of this as a 2 ingredient 1:1 cocktail.

Nice drink but this is really nothing like a sazarac. 

Affinity (blanc)

1 oz Speyside Scotch, Glenfarclas 105 (or other high proof Scotch)
1 oz Bianco Vermouth, Dolin
1 oz Dry vermouth, Dolin
2 ds Orange bitters
1 twst Lemon peel (expressed and discarded)
Instructions

Stir, strain, up, twist.

Notes

A high proof Scotch will achieve the best balance. Based on the ratios from the Savoy's Affinity.

The Sherbet Fountain

2 oz Rye
1⁄4 oz Absinthe
1⁄2 oz Ginger syrup
1⁄2 oz Lemon juice
1 ds Cranberry bitters, Fee Brothers Cranberry
1 part Sugar (Sherbet powder for rim)
Instructions

Shake all ingredients over ice, double strain in sherbet powder rimmed tulip glass.

Notes

*Sherbet Powder: 1 tsp citric acid, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp lemon powder, 1/3 cup icing sugar.

History

Sherbet Fountain is a fizzy, tart, and sweet powder my British mother let me eat when I was a kid that came with a stick of black licorice which was meant to be dipped into the powder and licked off. (Sort of a more sophisticated Fun Dip). This is my homage to that candy.

Canteiro

1 oz Madeira (Finest Medium Rich)
1 oz Haitian Rum, Barbancourt 8
3⁄4 oz Madeira (Rainwater)
1⁄2 oz Cherry Liqueur, Cherry Heering
1⁄4 oz Simple syrup (piloncillo syrup, see note)
1 bsp Bitters, Bittermens New Orleans Coffee (about 2 droppers)
1 twst Orange peel (as garnish)
1 sli Chili pepper (fresh, like a Cayenne - as garnish)
Instructions

Stir, strain, garnish. For the garnish, cut a swath of orange peel, slit it down the middle and fit a thin strip of chile into the slit. It should just give a bare heat to the drink.

Notes

I'm using Henriques and Henriques for the Madeira. For the piloncillo syrup, melt a cone of piloncillo sugar in sufficient water and simmer until dissolved. Cool slightly and strain into a squeeze bottle. Preserve with a bit of vodka.

  • I added a line of black walnut bitters. I don't understand the low rating. New top favorite!
  • Odd but interesting combination. The fernet takes it in an interesting and somewhat surprising direction but is a little overpowering. Looks like swampwater.

It's a nice drink and I'll make it again, but the quantities are odd. Halve it and you end up with (nearly) two proper drinks.

  • Fun, sweet, and funky. Good rosemary flavour.
  • simple yet sophisticated and incredibly delicious
  • Delightful. Would probably like more if hit had a bit more complexity /depth to flavors.
  • Given the ingredients, it'd be hard to go wrong with this one.

Notes

*rangpur lime

History

A simple gin and tonic twist with an Indian flair--made in preparation for my holiday trip to Mumbai. The Rangpur Gin and limes have a stronger flavor from the peel, and the bitters and curaçao also pull the drink more towards the bitter
