Tough as Nails

1 1⁄2 oz Blended Scotch, Johnnie Walker (Black)
3⁄4 oz Drambuie
3⁄4 oz Amaro (Ferro China Bisleri)
1⁄4 oz Herbal liqueur, Jeppson's Malort
1 twst Orange peel
Instructions

Stir with ice, strain into double old-fashioned glass with a large rock. Express orange peel and use as garnish.

Notes

The Johnnie Walker Black provides just enough peat to hold the character together without overpowering anything. The Malort bitter finish is surprisingly tame (up the quantity if you want more bite at the end) but nicely balances the Drambuie's honey mid-sip. The components all fit together, greatly exceeding my expectations on the first try. The iron flavor is there, but mellow. The base amaro essence of the Ferro China Bisleri is actually quite good separate from the iron citrate.

History

I had the concept of making a Rusty Nail riff using Ferro China to provide actual iron flavor, while using Jeppson Malort as a bittering agent to balance the honey of Drambuie.

Very similar to the Avion De Papel cocktail with a few ingredient swaps.. adds a sweeter finish

Georgetown Tuxedo

2 oz Light rum (White rum, not Jamaican or Agricole)
3⁄4 oz Dry vermouth
1⁄4 oz Falernum
1⁄8 oz Maraschino Liqueur
1 ds Absinthe
1 twst Orange peel (As garnish)
Instructions

Stir with ice, strain into a cocktail glass, and garnish with an orange twist.

Notes

My dash of absinthe was 12 drops.

History

At work, I had a guest request a Martinez, and I commented that it was one of my favorite Martini variations although I do like the Tuxedo No. 2 a lot. As she gained trust in me, she gave it a go and later declared that it was her new favorite gin drink. After work, I thought about what else could get the Tuxedo No. 2's "Improved treatment" of Maraschino and absinthe, and I wanted to keep the dry vermouth element. I then honed in on the rum-based Georgetown Club from Charles H. Baker Jr.'s South American Gentleman's Companion that I fancied so much that I put on the menu at Loyal Nine. I mashed up the Georgetown Club with the Improved element of the Tuxedo No. 2 from The Savoy Cocktail Book, and dubbed this the Georgetown Tuxedo. I already knew that falernum and Maraschino could play well together from the Crafty & Elusive Elk. While I made this with a beautiful white rum, I could not help but think that a little funk from a touch of rhum agricole or Jamaican white rum here might take the drink to the next level; at Loyal Nine, I served the Georgetown Club with a quarter ounce of rhum agricole.

Home Drum

1 3⁄4 oz Cognac
1⁄4 oz Islay Scotch, Laphroaig (Or other smoky whisky)
1⁄2 oz Cynar
1⁄2 oz Falernum
1 ds Bitters, Angostura
1 rinse Absinthe
Instructions

Stir with ice and strain into an old fashioned glass rinsed with absinthe.

History

I became inspired by the Cynar-falernum combination in the Brooks, and my mind went to the Cognac Corn'n'Oil that Richard Seale described during a talk here in Boston for a base. Next, I mimicked the proportions of Maks Pazuniak's 100 Year Old Cigar as well as its smoky Scotch and absinthe accents. For a name, I kept the Corn'n'Oil heritage and dubbed this after the Bajan saying of "Home drum beats first" meaning that before taking on another's problems, look after your own family first.
