Nice to have cocktails with Bercherovka, since it survived the flight back from Prague! This one works with Giffard Ginger instead of the apricot liqueur too. Thanks

One of those drinks that looked better on paper than it turned out to be.  In all fairness, it wasn't awful, but it was overly sweet and somewhat syrupy.  Furthermore, I don't the apricot liqueur works here - even at 1/4 of an ounce it's overly strong and really seems to stick out a bit.  It might be interesting to try this one again by subbing in a ginger liqueur instead.

Hijo de Cuba

2 oz Rum, Havana Club (Añejo 7 Años)
1⁄2 oz Pecan Liqueur, Praline
5 ds Bitters, Bittermens Boston Bittahs
3 ds Bitters, Angostura
Instructions

Shake on ice, strain in vessel of choice.

Notes

A little mild when still cold but as it comes back up to room temperature it opens up quite nicely.

  • Delightful. I used Rye instead of bourbon because I worried about it being too sweet. It was perfect with rye.

Identical to TJ Siegals(Milk&Honey) modern classic, the Gold Rush from 2001, except for the addition of orange bitters and the garnish.

Manly Pink Drink

2 oz Midwest Wheat White Whiskey, Koval
3⁄4 oz Dry vermouth, Ransom
1⁄4 oz Crème Yvette
1⁄2 oz Lemon juice
Instructions

Shake with ice; strain into a chilled coupe

Notes

*if you're unable to use Koval, another wheat or barley based white whiskey will work; avoid corn based whiskeys

History

Another brilliant cocktail from Britt Buckley at Buckley's Restaurant & Bar in Milwaukee. The interesting combination of white whiskey and Ransom's vermouth gives the drink a cereal-ie sweetness tempered by the heavy herbal blend. And the Yvette gives it a very, very subtle berry note, and just enough pinkness for name
