This is the same cocktail as the Green Philter.

Zachary Pearson commented on 5/28/2020:

Mako - good catch. Since the Fifth Stage greatly predates the Green Philter, I'm going to merge them both into the Fifth Stage. Thanks,  Zachary

The Phil Collins

2 oz Bourbon
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
3⁄4 oz Grenadine (See Notes)
2 oz Soda water
Instructions

Shake all ingredients (except soda) with ice. Strain over ice into a highball glass. Fill with soda water, garnish with lemon peel.

Notes

Grenadine: 2 cups pomegranate (I used POM, but I understand juicing with a lever juicer works as well). 1.5 ounce sugar. 2 ounces pomegranate molasses. 1 tablespoon orange blossom water. Shake well until sugar dissolves (I run the bottle under hot water to help).

One Pommeau Before I Kill

1 1⁄4 oz Calvados
1 1⁄4 oz Pommeau de Normandie
1⁄2 oz Manzanilla sherry
1 twst Lemon peel
Instructions

Stir, strain, up, twist.

Notes

Pommeau de Normandie is an aperitif made of one part young Calvados to two parts apple must (juice), aged in oak. It is sweet and complex, with flavors of apple, butterscotch, and oak, similar in both concept and profile to grape brandy-based aperitifs like pineau and floc de Gascogne. Nice stuff.

Joni,

Can you estimate how much a "splash" is? How spirit forward is this? Does the bourbon show in the drink?

Thanks,

Zachary

JoniBonie commented on 9/22/2013:

For the lemon lime 1/4 oz, I used a capful of pom juice and top off with ginger ale. I muddle the orange wedge with the lime and pom juice with some ice in the large shaker tin, add the spirits and shake, then por the whole thing in a cup, whatever room is left is filled with ginger ale. It has a bourbon flavor but its kinda sweet too. If you want the bourbon to show more just smash the ingredients lightly and you can even leave out the pom juice. I was trying to make it fruity and approachable. I certainly taste bourbon, but I'm not a huge bourbon fan so maybe that is it...I love this drink tho!!! The Gran marnier version is delicious too, I like it even though its a little tougher!

The Eyrie

3⁄4 oz Dry vermouth
1⁄4 oz Herbal liqueur, Green Chartreuse
1 ds Grapefruit bitters

Notes

I like to make a West Coast / Cascadian Dry Martini with 1 3/4 oz St. George Terroir, 1/4 oz Douglas Fir, grapefruit bitters, and some combination of Vya dry and a more standard dry vermouth to taste. (I call it a Cascadian.) This is a slight elaboration on that.

Either very bland or very bitter depending on the ratio of club soda. Could use a sweetener.

This is sort of a Mediterranean tiki drink. The flavor combination is sensational, but it's a little sweeter than I was hoping. Next time I'm going to try it without the simple syrup. Thanks for a delicious drink!
