Manly Pink Drink

2 oz Midwest Wheat White Whiskey, Koval
3⁄4 oz Dry vermouth, Ransom
1⁄4 oz Crème Yvette
1⁄2 oz Lemon juice
Instructions

Shake with ice; strain into a chilled coupe

Notes

*if you're unable to use Koval, another wheat or barley based white whiskey will work; avoid corn based whiskeys

History

Another brilliant cocktail from Britt Buckley at Buckley's Restaurant & Bar in Milwaukee. The interesting combination of white whiskey and Ransom's vermouth gives the drink a cereal-ie sweetness tempered by the heavy herbal blend. And the Yvette gives it a very, very subtle berry note, and just enough pinkness for name

  • REALLY like it w/ an oz of apple brandy - changed the whole cocktail.
  • 1/7/16: This was pretty tasty (made with lemon peel, didn't have grapefruit), but really the dominant flavor was the Fernet, as expected.
  • Amaro on amaro on amaro. Save this one for after dinner. 3.5★
  • Nice! The Fernet really balances the sweet of the Cynar and accentuates the sweetness of the Campari (it's in there if you look past the bitter). The salt is particularly noticeable in the finish. It's also a lovely color.
  • More accessible than the ingredient list would suggest. But you still have to like Fernet.

Decent, but the flavors didn't really blend together when made as described. Adding about 30ml of apple brandy brought it together pretty nicely though.

This is nice. I looked at it and thought 'Water? Why not just rely on the dilution as the ice melts?' but it's really good, well-balanced, as written.

Harvey Weissbanger

1 oz Vodka, Stolichnaya
1⁄2 oz Galliano
1⁄2 oz Dry vermouth, Dolin
3 oz Weissbier, Dennison's (Keep Separate)
1 oz Orange juice
1⁄2 oz Lemon juice
1⁄2 oz Clove Syrup (Homemade)
1 Egg white
1 ds Bitters, Angostura
1 twst Orange peel (as garnish)
Instructions

In a Collins glass, add the 2.5-3oz of Weissbier. Separately, in a mixing glass, add all remaining ingredients.

Dry Shake, then add ice and shake again.

Strain into a fresh glass and allow the egg white to separate completely. Then slowly combine the mixture into the Collins with the beer. This allows you to control how much of the frothy head you get over top.

Orange Zest/Garnish. Enjoy.

Notes

Dennison's Weissbier from Toronto, ON, Canada works the best.

History

I used to make Harvey Wallbangers for my Grandfather, Harvey. I'm fairly certain he only liked them because of the name.

The name came to me before the cocktail, but after a few Google searches, it turned out, I wasn't the first bartender to take a crack at this, but all the recipes I found weren't up to snuff.

Banana's, Cloves & Coriander are the primary notes on the nose for Weissbier. So, the Clove Syrup acts as the bridge between the two and blending the Lemon & Vanilla from the Galliano sort of creates a complicated substitute for the Banana.

L'Amour de L'Or

1 1⁄2 oz Ginger liqueur, Domaine de Canton
1 oz Bourbon, Maker's Mark 46
1⁄2 oz Lemon juice
3 oz Champagne (Blanc de Blancs)
1 twst Lemon peel
Instructions

Shake Canton, bourbon and lemon juice with ice; pour into chilled coupe glass. Add champagne, and garnish with a twist.

Notes

I used a Blanc de Blancs champagne because a sparkling chardonnay will have stronger apple and lemon notes.

I replaced the original brandied cherry garnish with a twist of lemon--I felt the flavor and appearance was more appropriate with the addition of champagne

History

A fizz take on Domaine de Canton's "The Gold Rush"--itself basically an altered cold version of a Hot Toddy. I did, however, change the bourbon to Maker's 46, because its stronger vanilla and oak flavors prevented the muting of whiskey notes when combined with champagne

Shawn C commented on 12/13/2022:

Just what I was looking for, I had some blackberries that were begging to be muddled and was thinking about something with rye. This is sort of a riff on the Boulevardier base, using Aveze with the berries/Marschino/lemon juice taking it beyond. A wide cast of flavors alternate for attention from the sip through mid palate, while the Aveze provides the uniting center and bitterness that transitions gently into the finish.

The original's by Sam Ross, Milk & Honey NYC, 2005. The recipe in his Bartender's Choice app also omits the sugar lump and is actually dryer than the version here:

2 oz aged rum
1 barspoon honey syrup
2 barspoons sweet vermouth
2 dashes Angostura
