This is sort of a Mediterranean tiki drink. The flavor combination is sensational, but it's a little sweeter than I was hoping. Next time I'm going to try it without the simple syrup. Thanks for a delicious drink!

  • Gran Classico hell yeah
  • Even sweeter than a normal Negro. Also doesn't feel *that* different than just a Negroni. The Gran Classico is a great sub for Campari but make this with London Dry.
  • Made over ice, rocks glass, bitter, sweet, spicy... Makes an outstanding fancy negroni variation — ★★★★★
  • a new favorite. Replaced Gran Classico with Avion d'Or, from the same producer

Verrrrrry interesting. Made with La Gritona tequila, Cocchi's Dopo Teatro, Amer dit Picon from Golden Moon, and homemade creme de cacao. Part of me thinks it's missing something....I almost want it to be a *bit* sweeter, which makes sense. The folks at Golden Moon told me they modeled their Amer after the original Amer Picon and is much less sweet than the current version. Either way, it's already very good.

Black Rock Chiller

1 oz Reposado Tequila
1 oz Branca Menta

Combine and stir without ice.

Notes

I'm taking a part to mean an ounce, making this drink the same size as Audrey Saunders' Goodnight, Irene, which this drink riffs on.

Doctor Cocktail

Notes

The recipe is equal parts Punsch and Bacardi rum, with a teaspoon each lemon and orange juice. I've taken this to mean 1 oz of each.

In his 1947 Bartender's Guide, "Trader" Vic Bergeron suggests 1.5 Punsch, .75 Jamaican rum, and 1 tsp each orange and lemon.

Half Windsor

3⁄4 oz Pimm's No. 1 Cup
3⁄4 oz Aromatized wine, Cocchi Americano
3⁄4 oz Aperol
1⁄2 oz Lemon juice
1⁄4 oz Mint syrup (mint tea syrup)
1 oz Soda water (or sparkling wine)
1 twst Grapefruit peel (As garnish)
Instructions

Shake, strain over ice and soda or sparkling wine, and, optionally, seasonal fruit and herbs (as an in-glass garnish). Garnish with a long thin strip of grapefruit peel tied as best you can manage into a tie—half windsor for extra credit. Serve with straw.

Notes

Mint tea syrup: make a 1:1 syrup of white sugar and regular strength Moroccan mint tea, and then steep a sprig's worth of mint leaves for 20 minutes and strain.

History

Sort of a Pimm's Cup crossed with a mint Arnold Palmer. Sip those last few drops of summer.

  • This one rocks! Used homemade mint syrup and Prosecco. Yum! — ★★★★★
  • Like a nice herbal iced tea with a bit of a kick. Kinda low ABV, and I'm not a fan of Pimm's, but this gives me a reason to keep some around.
  • Swapped out Pimm's No.1 with Averna and seemed alright!
