  • I think I’d prefer either a regular Manhattan, or a Manhattan made entirely with apple brandy. This was a trifle middling to my taste.
  • So good! I used 1/2 Cocchi vermouth di Torino and 1/2 Pavan for a bit of a lighter profile (my new favorite light liqueur). — ★★★★★
  • Used 2 dashes each of bitters.

Bijou (Dry Vermouth)

1 oz Gin
1 oz Dry vermouth
1 oz Herbal liqueur, Yellow Chartreuse
2 ds Orange bitters
1 twst Lemon peel (as garnish)
Instructions

Stir, strain, up, twist.

Notes

I've seen this variation in a few different places and am not sure where it originates. Most likely several people came up with it independently,as it's a Bijou with two simple substitutions (or a Bijou en route to Alaska, if you prefer).

  • Agreed. Clean is a good adjective here. A touch sweet perhaps.
  • Clean and tasty. I used Holi Gin - which is made with chai spices to give this a bit extra herbal flavor.

Travel Section

1 1⁄2 oz Bacanora
3⁄4 oz Lime juice
1⁄2 oz Ancho Reyes chile liqueur
1⁄2 oz Pineapple Gum Syrup
1 oz Egg white
1⁄4 oz Simple syrup
1 oz Coconut milk
1 ds Bitters, Bittermens 'Elemakule Tiki (flamed, as garnish)
Instructions

Add all but coconut milk and bitters to mixer and dry shake, add coconut milk and shake with ice, double strain into a Nick and Nora, garnish with flamed Tiki bitters.

Notes

The bitters are described as house tiki bitters and heavy on the allspice, so maybe a mix of tropical bitters and allspice dram would work best here. Cocktail name and description of the house bitters here: http://drinks.seriouseats.com/2013/04/first-look-all-of-the-cocktails-a…
