White Tai ("Improved")

2⁄3 oz Martinique Rum, La Favorite Blanc
2⁄3 oz Demerara Rum, El Dorado
2⁄3 oz Jamaican rum, Wray & Nephew Overproof
1⁄2 oz Triple sec, Cointreau
1 t Maraschino Liqueur
6 dr Absinthe
1 pn Citric acid
1 twst Lemon peel (expressed and discarded)
Instructions

Stir without ice to dissolve acid, and then stir with ice, strain, and serve up. Twist and discard.

Notes

"Improved" refers to the presence of absinthe and Maraschino, and is not meant to suggest that the recipe is an improvement on Zachary Pearson's original. The almond and marzipan notes of the Maraschino combined with the perfume of the absinthe and the almond extract recall the orgeat, while citric acid and lemon oil stand for the original's citrus. The Demerara rum gives vanilla notes and deepens the complexity.

  • Made with a squeeze of lemon juice rather than the citric acid and a half tsp of orgeat. Good but needs a little further work.

Kindred Cocktails commented on 1/14/2015:

Curated to change "almond syrup extract" to "almond extract", which I think is what was meant, since only 1 drop is used.

DrunkLab commented on 1/14/2015:

Kindred autocorrects almond extract as well as almond milk (or "almond syrup milk" in KC lingo). It also 'corrects' Small Hand Foods to Hand Foods.

Kindred Cocktails commented on 1/14/2015:

I fixed "amond syrup milk" and "hand foods". I don't see almond extract in this recipe anymore, so I'm guessing it was fixed or re-formulated to not have it. If you enter new ingredients that Kindred Cocktails insists on "auto-correcting", it's part of its efforts to standardize what people enter. Just contact me and I'll enter the ingredients into the database manually. Cheers -Dan

  • Yes, I get s'mores too, Complex as expected, but actually not as mezcal-dominated as I'd feared.
  • Fire, smoke, funk, chocolate. Like a s'more roasted over a campfire. — ★★★★★

I'm definitely going to try this, but just curious if the name is a Young Marble Giants reference or a Pedro Costa reference?

DrunkLab commented on 7/31/2013:

Young Marble Giants all the way. YMG was actually the working title for this (connecting it to the Transatlantic Giant) but I ended up liking Colossal Youth better.

Nothing against Senhor Costa or his films, of course.

bza commented on 7/31/2013:

Nice. I approve either way, for sure.

  • Rich, velvety and deep in character. Didn't have the pineapple syrup, so just used pineapple juice - figured it was sweet enough.
  • Opaque dark brick red color. Tasty, a little grainy, maybe due to my orgeat. Cinnamon and clove, complex. — ★★★★

happyrobot commented on 7/24/2021:

Brilliant. Delicious. So many favorite things in one glass. I used Hampden 8YO and it worked great. The Orgeat and pineapple gum syrup added lots to the balance.

HallA commented on 11/11/2023:

Nice variation on a trinidad sour. The pineapple gum added a little though I don't think the drink would suffer that much about it. You're going to need something like S&C or high proof / lots of flavor to balance and even show up against the angostura.

Demerara Dry Float

2 1⁄2 oz Lime juice
1 t Lemon juice
1 1⁄2 oz Passion fruit syrup (see note)
1⁄4 oz Simple syrup
1 oz Demerara Rum
1⁄4 oz Maraschino Liqueur, Luxardo
1⁄4 oz Demerara Rum, Lemon Hart 151 (as float)
Instructions

Shake everything except the 151, strain into a double old fashioned over crushed ice, float 151.

Notes

The best way to make passionfruit syrup is to take frozen passionfruit pulp, thaw it, and mix that with an equal amount of 1:1 simple syrup.

Zachary Pearson commented on 7/28/2013:

It almost seems to me that the 151 and regular Demerara rum amounts should be reversed. I'd use the best Demerara rum you can find, as it's got to stand up to a huge amount of lime juice.

DrunkLab commented on 7/28/2013:

Because this recipe wasn't strange and scary enough as is, I'm going to try it with the full ounce of 151.
