Shibuya

2 oz Awamori, Yaesen taruchozo (43% ABV Awamori)
1 oz Mirin Liqueur, Kankyu Shuzo (Kankyu Shuzo hon mirin mukashi ikomi)
2 ds Bitters, Japanese bitters umami (Umami bitters)
Instructions

Combine, stir 30 sec, pour slowly.

Notes

An umami A-bomb! A very Japanese Manhattan (thus the name) subbing bourbon with Awamori, vermouth with a mirin liqueur and Angostura with Umami bitters. Very balanced, surprisingly mellow & harmonious.

History

I apologize for the rarity of the ingredients. I just chanced upon them, came up with the idea and was thoroughly wowed, so had to offer this up for anyone who may have access to these ingredients. You HAVE to use a high ABV awamori here. Angostura bitters are a good substitute for the umami bitters BUT, if you're making this and have the other ingredients, then probably you won't need this sub. enjoy!

Devil's Staircase

1 1⁄2 oz Apple brandy (Such as Laird's Bonded)
1⁄2 oz Mezcal
3⁄4 oz Averna
1⁄4 oz Curaçao (Such as Pierre Ferrand Dry)
1 ds Bitters, Angostura
1 ds Peychaud's Bitters
Instructions

Stir with ice and strain into an old fashioned glass.

History

After making the Crooklyn from the Franklin Mortgage & Investment Co. and noting that it was rather similar to Cure's Black & Bluegrass, I decided to put my own spin on the 3:1 Averna to curaçao with Angostura and Peychaud's Bitters Black Manhattan template. Here, I utilized an apple brandy and mezcal split, and I dubbed it the Devil's Staircase after an IPA on tap at Widowmaker Brewing when I went there several months ago (and made a note of the name).

Maple Morning

2 oz Dark rum
1 oz Lime juice
3⁄4 oz Grade A amber color and rich taste maple syrup
1 ds Orange bitters
1 twst Lemon peel (as garnish)
Instructions

Shake ingredients with ice
Pour into a old fashioned glass with ice
Recipe suggested lemon peel garnish, but I used lime since it was used in the recipe

Notes

I used Flor da Caña, as that is the rum I had.
I was nervous about the heavy dose of maple syrup, but the result was well balanced and not overly sweet.

The Powder Alarm

1 oz Rum, Smith & Cross
1 oz Coffee (Cold brew concentrate)
1⁄2 oz Overproof rum, Plantation O.F.T.D.
1⁄2 oz Madeira, Blandy's (Bual 10-year "medium rich")
6 oz Porter beer (Bell's, Tadcaster, or Left Hand rec'd)
Instructions

Drop everything but the beer into a pint glass, stein, or the muzzle your club-butt fowling piece. Pour in the ale with vigor. One quick stir, then enjoy.

Notes

I used Bell’s porter and Trader Joe’s French Roast coffee concentrate. I get distinct cinnamon notes from this. Feel free to adjust the coffee upward as much as necessary. If you can handle it, the drink can, too.

History

“Rattle Skull” variation commemorating the September 1, 1774 Massachusetts militia muster that amounted to a practice-run for the first battles of the American Revolution the following April. Drink up, and keep your powder dry.

  • Nice! Be careful not to add too much creme de cacao, or it will be too sweet. I might even double the cardamon and rose water trace amounts, because they are a little too subtle to taste.
  • Use 18::21 Earl Grey bitters rather than infusion.
