Savoury, complex and sweet notes. No kirsch on hand so i used a blend of eau de vie and grand marnier cherry. Green chatreuse. A must try.

  • I used Punt e Mes for sweet vermouth...might try to lighten the sweetness somehow. Maybe sub pear brandy for Maraschino ?

  • Used Whistle Pig 10 yr rye and Stirrings simple syrup. Not sure how to measure 1 dash of Pernod, I poured a VERY small amount in the glass as a rinse and poured out the rest. Rate 4.0 A small but hefty drink.
  • This is by far, my favorite cocktail...especially when I have a sore throat. It is like a cocktail and medicine at the same time :)
  • Love this. Had it recently in New Orleans where the drink was first invented.

Pocket Rocket

1⁄4 c Arugula
2 oz Vodka
3⁄4 oz Cynar
1⁄2 oz Elderflower liqueur, St. Germain
1 ds Celery bitters, Fee Brothers
1 twst Lemon peel
Instructions

Muddle a small handful of arugula in a mixing glass. Add the vodka, Cynar, St. Germain, dash of celery bitters, and ice. Stir, and double strain into a chilled coupe. Express a lemon twist, rim the cup with it, and float it as a garnish.

Notes

This is a work in progress. I love arugula, and instinct tells me its peppery notes should harmonize well with various liquors and amari. Although the Arugula Mojito got notice a year or two back, there were no cocktail recipes here using it. Experiments with mezcal came to naught, but the Cynar seems to complement the arugula well, and the ever trusty St. Germain mellows the bitterness. I am eager to see more recipes herein with arugula. No need to be kind - critiques are welcome!

  • I was expecting a hot grassy mess, but was pleasantly surprised by the subtle complexity of this. It may have helped that I used cucumber infused vodka which held it all together nicely.

Chin Up

2 sli Cucumber
2 oz Gin
1⁄2 oz Cynar
1⁄2 oz Dry vermouth
1 pn Salt
Instructions

Muddle a cucumber slice in mixing glass. Add liquids. Add ice, and stir well. Strain into chilled coupe. Float cucumber wheel on top as garnish.

Notes

Served to me by the passionate mixologist Chaim Dauermann at New York's Gin Palace just last night, and I thought it ought to be here. It's the same base ingredients as a Berlioni, but the different quantities and the addition of cucumber and, especially, salt, make for an utterly different experience.
