Norman Conquest

1 oz Islands Scotch, Talisker
1 oz Calvados
1 oz Sweet vermouth, Carpano Antica Formula
1 t Simple syrup
3 dr Bitters, Angostura
1 twst Orange peel (as garnish)
Instructions

Stir, strain, up, twist.

Notes

Also sometimes made with bourbon rather than Scotch, bringing it closer to Sam Ross' Grandfather cocktail. Adam Manning recommends making it with Scotch, adding a dash of Peychaud's, and replacing the simple with a spoonful of Drambuie.

saltdodge commented on 12/10/2014:

So it's like a Vieux Carre for the North Atlantic (smoky/peaty more than spicy). Lovely. I used Lagavulin 16, because it's what I had, + Peychaud's. The Drambuie would replace the Benedictine so sounds intriguing, but I don't have any on hand.

1 ds Bitters, Angostura

Notes

Sam Ross describes this as a "specified Saratoga."

  • I think I’d prefer either a regular Manhattan, or a Manhattan made entirely with apple brandy. This was a trifle middling to my taste.
  • So good! I used 1/2 Cocchi vermouth di Torino and 1/2 Pavan for a bit of a lighter profile (my new favorite light liqueur). — ★★★★★
  • Used 2 dashes each of bitters.

Bijou (Dry Vermouth)

1 oz Gin
1 oz Dry vermouth
1 oz Herbal liqueur, Yellow Chartreuse
2 ds Orange bitters
1 twst Lemon peel (as garnish)
Instructions

Stir, strain, up, twist.

Notes

I've seen this variation in a few different places and am not sure where it originates. Most likely several people came up with it independently,as it's a Bijou with two simple substitutions (or a Bijou en route to Alaska, if you prefer).

  • Agreed. Clean is a good adjective here. A touch sweet perhaps.
  • Clean and tasty. I used Holi Gin - which is made with chai spices to give this a bit extra herbal flavor.

Travel Section

1 1⁄2 oz Bacanora
3⁄4 oz Lime juice
1⁄2 oz Ancho Reyes chile liqueur
1⁄2 oz Pineapple Gum Syrup
1 oz Egg white
1⁄4 oz Simple syrup
1 oz Coconut milk
1 ds Bitters, Bittermens 'Elemakule Tiki (flamed, as garnish)
Instructions

Add all but coconut milk and bitters to mixer and dry shake, add coconut milk and shake with ice, double strain into a Nick and Nora, garnish with flamed Tiki bitters.

Notes

The bitters are described as house tiki bitters and heavy on the allspice, so maybe a mix of tropical bitters and allspice dram would work best here. Cocktail name and description of the house bitters here: http://drinks.seriouseats.com/2013/04/first-look-all-of-the-cocktails-a…

  • Tasty cocktail for the autumn season. Found it just slightly more tart than I'd like it, will try with 1/2 oz lemon next time.
