I think this cocktail may have been Suzanne Taliericio's entry to the 2008 Averna Cocktail Contest. She is in the picture here of the finalists.

Fatigue Variation No. 1

1 oz Jamaican rum, Smith & Cross
1 oz Orange bitters, Regans' orange bitters
1 oz Maraschino Liqueur
Instructions

Shake, strain, up.

Notes

I'm not certain that this is an equal parts drink, but that would fit the Fatigue theme and its purpose: "The team explained that this was meant to be a combination so unique, that it would be novel even to the trained palate of a bartender."

Pangolindo commented on 1/02/2021:

I thought it was so original that i needed to try despite ranking.

I made a test with 1/4 each on rock. And thought it has potential. It reminded to me some kind of a Brooklyn... Or a Swee' pea from Craig E of kindred.

I've made this, stired in OFD with ice:

1 oz aged jamaican rum,  (>60%), 1 oz knob creek rye,  (>60%), 1/4 bittermens orange citrate, 3/4 maraschino liqueur (Cartron), 1/2 orange wine, 1/3 dolin white, 2 dashes ango. Good stir.

You need strong rum and rye , and luxardo. My maraschino is a bit  too soft to counter the aroma of orange bitters.

The result is quiet good. 4 stars according to me.  You should try for sure.

Thanks to Rafa for posting it.

Notes

Toby Maloney: "This drink was created by a bartender for bartenders at the end of shift. It tastes very different after you have straw tasted 150 citrus drinks and 100 brown and stirred. You have serious palate fatigue, thus the name, and you need something with HUGE flavors. Trust me this is really tasty at 2:30am on a Friday night. "

  • Didn’t sufficiently annihilate palate before imbibing.
  • Turns out an ounce of Angostura is the way to tame an ounce of Maraschino. It's certainly bold and interesting!

  • A bittersweet Amaro like Nonino or Montenegro works well. — ★★★★★
  • tasty!!! — ★★★★★
  • A bit sweet, but a very nice sipper. Agree with others that I would try again with a mild gin like Plymouth or half-and-half. Used Noillly-Prat and Massenez Poire Williams.
  • maybe split gin between ransom and another

svenbass commented on 2/11/2018:

I'll try this next with Plymouth gin ...the Old Tom approached my limit of sweet for this style of cocktail.  It will also be a fun one to experiment with my amari collection. Over all, this one is a contemporary classic in my book.

 

Ajvan commented on 11/22/2019:

A bittersweet amaro like Nonino or Montenegro makes this less sweet and bit more balanced. 

Shawn C commented on 11/04/2022:

Used Hayman's Old Tom Gin, which worked well with Dolin and Meletti in terms of resultant sweetness. Flavorful and engaging mix of floral (violet, juniper, saffron), baking spices (cinnamon and clove), along with some wine grape and pear. Yet it manages to balance with bitterness through the finish.

Shawn C commented on 5/14/2023:

The name should probably be modified to show this as the Byrrh Cocktail (1936 Artistry of Mixing Drinks) or similar. Kirchwasser is an unusual choice for cocktails with this name. The older Savoy version is equal parts Canadian Club Whisky, Byrrh, and French Vermouth. Another 1936 version in Gran Manuel de Cocktails uses equal parts scotch, Byrrh, and Cinzano sweet vermouth. It doesn't appear that this had coalesced into any single recipe by 1936. I haven't researched further to find earlier drinks or other variants with the same name.
