Half Windsor

3⁄4 oz Pimm's No. 1 Cup
3⁄4 oz Aromatized wine, Cocchi Americano
3⁄4 oz Aperol
1⁄2 oz Lemon juice
1⁄4 oz Mint syrup (mint tea syrup)
1 oz Soda water (or sparkling wine)
1 twst Grapefruit peel (As garnish)
Instructions

Shake, strain over ice and soda or sparkling wine, and, optionally, seasonal fruit and herbs (as an in-glass garnish). Garnish with a long thin strip of grapefruit peel tied as best you can manage into a tie—half windsor for extra credit. Serve with straw.

Notes

Mint tea syrup: make a 1:1 syrup of white sugar and regular strength Moroccan mint tea, and then steep a sprig's worth of mint leaves for 20 minutes and strain.

History

Sort of a Pimm's Cup crossed with a mint Arnold Palmer. Sip those last few drops of summer.

  • This one rocks! Used homemade mint syrup and Prosecco. Yum! — ★★★★★
  • Like a nice herbal iced tea with a bit of a kick. Kinda low ABV, and I'm not a fan of Pimm's, but this gives me a reason to keep some around.
  • Swapped out Pimm's No.1 with Averna and seemed alright!

Finally, a worthwhile use for Crème Yvette.

Cowboy Coffee

2 1⁄2 oz Whiskey, Stranahan's Colorado Whiskey
1⁄2 oz Demerara syrup (1:1)
2 ds Bitters, Angostura
2 Coffee bean (dark roast)
1 twst Lemon peel (as garnish)
Instructions

Crush coffee beans and shake with other ingredients. Fine strain into a Champagne flute. Express peel and garnish with twist and a third coffee bean.

Notes

Stranahan's has a sui generis profile, being distilled purely from malted barley (like single malt Scotch) and then aged in charred new oak barrels for two years (like bourbon). The closest approximation might be a Scotch aged in "virgin" (new) oak, of which there are a couple; otherwise a bourbon or rye would be closer in character than a standard ex-bourbon barrel Scotch or Irish.

  • Used Jim Beam. Perhaps better with tastier bourbon. Could be more interesting with rye - I think the spiciness of the rye would work better.
