  • Nice Negroni riff, although I liked the second one better when I used Aperol
  • Meh. Curacao doesn't really have strong enough flavor to play with the others and is mostly a sweetener. May try again with more smoky mezcal (used montelobos)
  • 4 for me -- too bitter for Robin
  • Quite bitter

There's not a lot of "there" there. I doubled the peach bitters and hit it with an equal amount of Peychaud's.

HallA commented on 8/17/2022:

Very nicely balanced last word variant. Used honey syrup rather than honey. The combination of the botanicals from the yellow chartreuse and then maraschino is a really nice, complex evolution.

Patriarch

2 1⁄4 oz Rye, Rittenhouse
1⁄2 oz Maraschino Liqueur, Luxardo
1⁄3 oz English Bishop (see note)
1 ds Bitters, Angostura
1 ds Orange bitters
1 twst Orange peel (as garnish)
Instructions

Stir over ice and strain into a chilled coupe. Add the garnish.

Notes

To make English Bishop: Stud an orange with about 40 cloves and bake at 400 degrees F until golden brown. Quarter the orange and place in a saucepan with 750 ml of ruby port. Simmer for 20 minutes and then add about a cup of sugar. Cool and bottle.

1 bsp Grade B maple syrup, Deep Mountain
3 ds Bitters, Fee Brothers Black Walnut
Instructions

Add Maple syrup, Allspice Dram and Bitters in old fashioned glass. Swirl until blended. Add large cube of ice and pour over Chai Infused bourbon. Garnish with Orange twist.

The bourbon is 2 bags of chai tea infused with 24 oz of makers mark for 1 hour.
This drink is spicy, yet the black walnut gives it a solid backbone.
