Jules & Jim

2 1⁄2 oz Bourbon
1⁄2 oz Tea syrup (Moroccan mint tea, double strength, 1:1 with sugar)
1 twst Lime peel
1 sli Cucumber
1 pn Salt
2 dr Rose water
4 dr Bitters, Bitter End Moroccan Bitters
1 ds Bitters, Angostura
1 ds Absinthe
2 spg Mint (spearmint, one as garnish)
Instructions

Muddle, shake, strain into a julep cup over fresh ice, top with slapped mint sprig, serve with metal straw.

History

He word "julep" derives from the Persian "Golâb," or "rose water," and it is possible that the earliest juleps were flavored with rose instead of or in addition to mint. The combination of mint and rose made me think of Moroccan mint tea, the most refreshing drink on earth, as well as of The Violet Hour's fantastic Juliet & Romeo.

  • A marked improvement over a standard Mint Julep, imo, with the lime peel giving character and the botanicals giving a lingering herbal complexity. Peppermint + spearmint works. A bit dilute at equal parts bourbon:tea so bump

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.
