  • Went with bar spoon of Allspice Dram. Go skosh on lemon juice to allow mezcal and Allspice to come through.
  • Tasty, but would make again with 1/8 oz allspice dram, as it tends to bully the other flavors - i.e. I couldn't really distinguish the pear

  • Try the chocolate bitters next time.
  • Made with Pear Williams eau de vie and a mild mezcal instead of tequila. Seemed somewhat unbalanced and extremely pear forward.
  • Tried this as described first - excellent. Added a dash of Bitter Truth Xocolatl Mole bitters - even better! — ★★★★★
  • Looks unbalanced

  • Interesting. Didn't have the moroccan bitters and what I used was too sweet. Port / cynar combo is nice. Maybe more work to be done.

Instructions

Shake, strain over crushed ice, add straws, float (or sink) Sorel, float bitters, garnish with a pinch of cinnamon and a lime wheel.

Notes

A light, fruity Scottish malt (say Scapa or Glen Grant) makes a fine substitution for half of the rum. An Irish whiskey or light American malt (like St. George) works as well.

Mahogany Hall

1 oz Jamaican rum, Appleton
3⁄4 oz Sherry, Lustau East India Solera
1⁄2 oz Cynar
1 pn Nutmeg (as garnish)
Instructions

Stir, strain, rock, garnish.

Notes

By Jamaican rum I mean, in this case, any full-bodied, pot still rum in the 19th century style. Pusser's or El Dorado would work as well as Appleton. Smith & Cross would probably need to be heavily cut with something else.

Named for a house of pleasure in old New York.

  • Wow. I honestly looked at the ingredients said that will probably taste pretty bad. Made myself one and it is amazing. The pot-still style rum is necessary though!

Added .25 oz of Canton to brighten it up. Whiskey lingers on the pallet. Nice sipper.

My search only turns up a bordello in old Storyville in New Orleans and none in New York.
