2 t Mezcal (Float)
1 ds Bitters, Bittermens Xocolatl Mole

Stir, strain, big rock. Squeeze lemon and drop in.

Notes

Pretty good without the Mezcal; magic with it.
Using Averna rather than Ramazzotti makes this a Run, Run, As Fast As You Can.

  • Ye tot try
  • Made with Nocino from Skip Rock. If you love carrot juice and bourbon, you'll like this one. I think I might like this one better with rye.

Cliffie commented on 2/21/2020:

This recipe is very different from the one in the Saveur article you linked to (1.5 bourbon, .75 carrot juice, .5 lemon juice, .5 walnut liqueur, .5 demerara syrup, 1 pinch salt). Might have to try both to see which I prefer...

drinkingandthinking commented on 2/26/2021:

I found this poorly balanced with too much lemon and carrot lost - 2 stars. However, upped the carrot and nocino a bit and it was better, like a 3 star. I think with more tweaking this could be amazing. Carrot juice is hard...

  • A nice drink, but too sweet, probably for most people. I suggest reducing the Antica Formula to 1/2 oz and/or adding Campari..
  • Added 1/10 OZish of A of P - better. 1/4 oz AP may have been too much.
  • Very nice. Seems a bit sweet at first but has a nice bitter finish.

Port of Call (Tom Macy)

1 oz Gin, Fords
1 oz Ruby Port, Sandeman
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
1⁄2 oz Cinnamon syrup
1 t Cranberry preserves
1 ds Bitters, Bitter Truth Jerry Thomas’ Own Decanter
1 spg Mint (as garnish)
Instructions

Shake, double strain over crushed ice, garnish with mint sprig and raspberry.

Notes

So I've found two very similar recipes for this, with the main differences being that one calls for Gordon's gin and no bitters and the other calling for bitters, Fords Gin, and and simply "1/2 freshly ground cinnamon bark" rather than 1/2 oz cinnamon bark syrup. Here's the best of both.

  • Bitters optional. It's one of my favorite holiday drinks, absolutely beautiful w/ garnish, and a guaranteed crowd pleaser. I recommend using the delicious "Sarabeth's Cranberry Relish" for the preserves. — ★★★★★

  • Made it with an olive, and a skinny quarter ounce maraschino. The bitters give it a pink cast. A pretty nice martini riff, likable.
