No. 67

1 oz Aperol
3⁄4 oz Mezcal, Del Maguey Vida
1⁄2 oz Fernet Branca
2 oz Ginger beer
2 ds Bitters, 5 by 5 Aged Citrus
1 twst Orange peel
Instructions

Shake liquor and bitters, strain into a chilled low-ball glass full of ice. Top off with ginger beer and garnish with a twist of orange

Notes

Make sure to use a wider peel to really bring out the orange oil flavor

History

I wanted to make a cooler style cocktail that had more depth than the usual bittersweet. The strong mesquite smokeyness of Mezcal--surprisingly--fit really well with the more traditional cooler components like Aperol and Fernet. Great top and bottom notes

LuK commented on 6/07/2013:

I like it, a bit rough on the edges. Fits well with 5 by 5 aged citrus bitters that make it more harmonious.

hypoxicboy commented on 6/19/2013:

I was pleasantly surprised by this! :) I was expecting a disaster (fernet and ginger beer seemed strange to me!) but I liked it a lot.

Cocktailian commented on 2/11/2014:

done and done--you were totally right with the bitters call

Zachary Pearson commented on 2/11/2014:

Curated this slightly - changed Aged Citrus Bitters, 5 by 5 to Bitters, 5 by 5 Aged Citrus, just to clean up the ingredient pile.

Thanks,

Zachary

  • 11/5/19: Very unique. Would be interesting to try it with an ounce of Carpano Antica vermouth.
  • Intense! Very smoky, sweet, and bitter. A rare drink where 1oz of GC feels its taking the back seat.
  • An interesting drink but the finish tastes unresolved to me.

Jacqueline

1 1⁄2 oz Gin, Hendrick's
1 oz Crème Yvette
1⁄2 oz Lemon juice
1 part Egg white
1⁄4 oz Syrup of roses
1 sli Cucumber
Instructions

In a metal mixing bowl or cocktail shaker add the egg white and rose syrup and--using a mini frother--aerate until you have soft peaks; set aside. Add gin, Crème Yvette, and lemon juice to a cocktail shaker filled with ice; shake until cold; strain and pour into a coupe glass. Gently spoon the rose meringue on top of the cocktail and garnish with a cucumber slice on the rim of the glass.

Notes

This is a very botanical/floral cocktail, and although there are other violette liqueurs on the market the fruit balancing flavors of the Crème Yvette prevent the drink from being too perfume-ie. *the meringue takes ~ a minute to set up, so if you're doing multiple cocktails you may want to get it ready ahead of time. **whip the meringue at room temperature

History

A good friend of mine was looking to replicate--in drink form--a very interesting summer rose syrup custard we had had years ago. This drink combines those great floral notes and creaminess with a wonderful evenness of sweet and tart.

  • Very good. I will dry shake this next time - didn't like the result with the frother. Also, if you have Lavender Bitters, great addition! — ★★★★
  • Gin- floral

Cocktailian commented on 6/29/2013:

a bartending friend of mine suggested using a iSi whipper instead of a frother, and adding a splash of crème Yvette to my foam mix to really bring out the floral notes. does anyone have one that'd be willing to try it out?

Spiced Apple Sour

1 1⁄2 oz Apple brandy, Lairds
1⁄2 oz Hiver Amer, Bittermens
1 ds Orange bitters, Regans' orange bitters
1 Egg white
1 t Simple syrup (or more to taste)
1 ds Nutmeg
Instructions

Mix all ingredients except nutmeg in a shaker. Dry shake to get the egg white going, add ice, and shake vigorously for a nice frothy mixture. Strain into chilled glass and garnish with some freshly grated nutmeg

Notes

The Bittermens Hiver Amer really seems to bring the apple out dramatically - it's like a big, spiced apple dessert.

Pangolindo commented on 12/27/2022:

Easy to batch and to make. I do not perceive grapefruit nor cinnamon in taste. But overall taste was very nice and balanced. If you are using cinnamon powder, make sure to simmer just a bit otherwise you gonna have a cinnamon slime, not a syrup, and impossible to filter. Better use sticks...
