  • Totally fine. Would benefit from a bit more lemon (not quite a 1/4oz probably, although I thought that was helpful).

Made this with Jameson IPA Cask, King's Ginger, and 0.4 oz date syrup. Probably a bit different but delicious.

Bolivar Sour

3⁄4 oz Light rum, Angostura
3⁄4 oz Bitters, Angostura
1 oz Lime juice
1 oz Orgeat (Macadamia)
1 Egg white
1 pn Lime (grated; or lime wheel)
Instructions

Dry shake, shake, double strain, white wine glass.

Notes

The link calls for a lime wheel garnish, but my Angostura app for iPhone calls for grated lime zest.

I was skeptical of the high dose of bitters but it's a winner! I did a reverse shake but but didn't seem to add anything.

The Chanticleer Cocktail

1 oz Gin
1 1⁄2 oz Dry vermouth
1⁄2 oz Triple sec
1 twst Orange peel (for garnish)
Instructions

Stir and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Add the garnish.

History

"Adapted from a pre-Prohibition era drink of the same name, the original recipe called for orange-flavored gin and the white of an egg. I reformulated the Chanticleer using triple sec for the orange flavor and dropping the egg white altogether. The word, chanticleer is French for rooster and at the old Waldorf-Astoria bar, the drink was served with 'a Cock'€™s Comb, if desired.'" --Regan

  • Made it the original way - Tanqueray Flor de Sevilla (close enough) and Noilly Prat, 1:1.
  • Like the Black Feather with Gin instead of Brandy.

Quite good, and heightened finely by a couple drops of oleo saccharum (should you have it on hand).

bkemp1984 commented on 12/08/2022:

Love it. Have also made it with Mattei Cap Corse blanc instead of dry vermouth, loved it.

1⁄2 oz Dry vermouth
2 t Triple sec

  • Tasty and delicious
  • Fantastically balanced and simple. Sweet, aromatic, floral and bright. I used Landy Connac VS, donlin rouge, martini dry, and cointreau,
  • Yeah this is a 5. Straight up, simple, grown up cocktail that has no pretensions and is hard to beat.
  • Related to the Black Feather and the Chanticleer as cocktails combining vermouth and triple sec. Also similar to Bombay Cocktail (No.2) with bitters instead of Absinthe.

This is also good with gin in place of brandy. I suppose that needs a new name.
