Pennsylvanian

2 1⁄4 oz Calvados
1 1⁄2 oz Madeira
1 Egg white
1 twst Lime peel
Instructions

Shake, strain over ice in a highball, express and insert twist. Some garnish with nutmeg, though this is not considered traditional.

Notes

Troy Patterson, at the link, writes as though this cocktails is rather unpalatable. I haven't tried it, but I have to say that Calvados + Madeira sounds good to me. Maybe the egg white, without soda or much acid to balance it, adds an odd mouthfeel; this drink might benefit from soda or lemon (or simply omitting the egg and serving up).

  • One of those drinks that shouldn't work but does. I'ts not mindblowingly good but it's mindblowing that such a potent combination actually works.
  • Very nice drink with an interesting texture and taste. A very good drink but the Taste Bar (St. Louis) version is very different but markedly improved version.

Yummy. just used regular tequila, though I wouldve liked something smokier. I rimmed glass with sugar as I don't favor salt rims -- sure it's good with salt though! sugar was prob a bit much :)

drinkingandthinking commented on 1/27/2021:

Much too sour for me. I added a bit of Milagro Silver tequila to cut the lime a bit - pretty good

  • Excellent and interesting. It could definitely benefit with even a little more mustard!
  • Mostly tart and sweet but nice complexity. The mustard is not as weird as it sounds. — ★★★★

Wow, this is darn good. I kinda wish it was a little more mustardy, even.

applejack commented on 1/04/2020:

Didn't have any dijon mustard at the bar, but to me Amaro Sfumato Rabarbaro has always had a mustard note to it, so I tried .25 oz of that instead of the mustard and turbo.  Nice balance and interesting flavor, though the drink is a bit small with the 1 oz base.  I did it up in a coupe; not sure it would stand up to being served over crushed ice as the flavors (and proof) aren't overwhelmingly strong.  Perhaps with a short shake.

Notes

A flowery, gin-based spin on the Penicillin.
