Dunlop Cocktail (12 Bottle Bar)

2 oz Virgin Islands Rum, Pusser's
1 oz Madeira, Broadbent 10 Year Malmsey
1 ds Bitters, Angostura
1 twst Lemon peel
Instructions

Stir, strain, coupe, twist.

Notes

Now that sherry is relatively well understood and publicized, more contemporary cocktail menus should experiment with Madeira, which comes in a similarly broad range of flavors and textures from the brightly acidic Sercial to the PX-like richness of a Malvasia/Malmsey. Unfortunately there's the matter of price...

History

The Dunlop, as listed in the Savoy, calls simply for rum, fortified wine, and Angostura. David Solmonson at 12 Bottle Bar made his with deep, flavorful Pusser's complemented by rich, coffee/toffee-flavored Malmsey, brightening with a lemon twist.

History

J.P. Caceres, a Washington D.C. based mixologist, developed this twist on the classic Manahattan cocktail by combining the smooth yet subtly spicy flavors of Basil Hayden's bourbon with sweet vermouth, Cynar artichoke liqueur and two kinds of bitters. Complex, with a long finish, this cocktail is the perfect way to enjoy the end of a warm summer night.

3⁄4 oz Scotch
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
1 ds Bitters
1 ds Orange bitters
1 dr Orange flower water
Instructions

Shake, strain.

Notes

The original was an exercise in simplicity, a sour made simply of Drambuie and lemon, with optional bitters and orange flower water. The new version is a Rusty Nail Sour with flowery bells and orange whistles.

Bevx commented on 8/20/2013:

Ha! I watched this exact episode just last night!... No Drambuie though, I'm gonna have to try the Cynar version.

"And I suppose that makes it better?"

Bevx commented on 8/20/2013:

Okay so, due to a dwindling Cynar supply, I went a different (if obvious) route and subbed Barenjager for the Drambuie. Good, but maybe a bit sweet this way. The OFW worked with the honey flavors very nicely, though. I may try adding a drop or 2 to my next Bee's Knees or Metamorphosis!

"It's a bad picture, Pam."

DrunkLab commented on 8/21/2013:

OFW + honey is a thing of beauty. I adjusted the ratios here somewhat after making another and also finding it too sweet.

Archer quote, wait, I... I had something for this.

This is really tasty, but to me it tastes mostly like a gingery whiskey sour. What I'm really missing is the tequila.

  • Used Laphroiag Lore as it's my favorite smoky scotch. Delicious, high level cocktail
  • As advertised. Bitter and sweet with a ton smoke. Gets better as it get watered down over time. Made w/ Laphroig Select. 3.5★ I'd like to try again w/ Gran Classico instead of Campari.
  • A good “smoky back room” kind of drink.
