Hendrick's Mule (JMW's)

1 1⁄2 oz Gin, Hendrick's (be as heavy as you like)
1⁄2 oz Lime juice
6 oz Ginger beer, Gosling's
2 sli Cucumber
Instructions

Muddle 1 cucumber slice with the gin and lime, and strain into an ice filled copper mule mug. Top with ginger beer, and garnish with a new cucumber slice

Notes

The copper mule mug is not only for presentation, but it keeps the drink extra cold. You can use a 16 oz pint glass as well

History

A simple variation of the many gin twists (including Hendrick's own) of the Moscow Mule

  • Great feature for Hendriks - shines through without overpowering. Used 1/4 lime and 1/4 lemon, 2+ oz gin and dash of celery bitters cuz why not?
  • Tasty as you'd expect, but a little "thin." — ★★★

jensck commented on 1/13/2024:

My notes after making this a few times:

  • This drink needs a strong, zippy ginger syrup or it ends up a little flat. Liber & Co worked great
  • Clement Creole Schrubb's spices helped flesh out the drink better than the candied orange of Combier
  • The beet flavor is better balanced at 20ml instead of 25ml
  • A dash of Bitterman's Hellfire habanero shrub played nicely with the ginger to offset the beets

DB's Alpine Cup

1 oz Gin
1 oz Pimm's No. 1 Cup

A take on the classic Pimm's Cup.

Pierre Rodriguez

1 oz Tequila, Espolon Reposado
1⁄2 oz Suze
1⁄2 oz Orange liqueur, Royal Combier
1 oz Grapefruit juice
1 twst Grapefruit peel
Instructions

Add all the liquid to an ice-filled glass and stir for at least 1 minute to release the flavors. Strain into a coupe and garnish with the peel.

Notes

This one came to me as I was experimenting with Margarita variations. To me, grapefruit juice and tequila are a match the Imbibing gods meant to be. The addition of the Suze brings out the woodsiness to a heavenly level.

Tucker commented on 6/01/2014:

This is delicious for summer. Used Pierre Ferrand dry curacao. My wife wasn't planning on having a cocktail, but took one sip and then claimed the entire drink.

El Jefe commented on 9/08/2014:

I reconstructed this using El Buho mezcal and the level of 'woodsiness' went to another level. So, I went again without the Suze and upped the curucao to replace it and it was fantastic!

Shawn C commented on 11/08/2022:

A good way to employ Royal Combier's somewhat herbal orange essence, bridging the grapefruit and Suze. Meanwhile, the earthy gentian flavors of the Suze transform the tequila into a mezcal-like flavor. This drink is at its best when cold, the earthiness becomes somewhat muddy as it warms.

French Maid

1 1⁄2 oz Cognac, Hine

Notes

Meehan's take on Sam Ross' Maid cocktail format, normally just a spirit with lime, sugar, mint, and cucumber and named for the provenance of the spirit (e.g., Kentucky Maid for bourbon).

Craig E commented on 6/19/2014:

Made with a cheap brandy and homemade falernum and it was fantastic. I was trepidatious about shaking the carbonated ginger beer so I added it after the shake. (Does that go without saying, along with the double strain?) 5/5

Cara A commented on 9/14/2023:

Yes, add ginger beer after shaking. Double strain. Very pleasant!

Robbyfresh commented on 9/15/2023:

The recipe for the house ginger beer listed in the PDT book is not carbonated, hence it isn’t necessary to add separately

Moderated this slightly - changed Five Spice Syrup to simple syrup, with a note on how to make it to avoid extraneous new items and line breakage in the cocktail.

Paloma (South Of The Border)

2 oz Blanco tequila
2 oz Grapefruit juice
1⁄2 oz Lime juice
1⁄2 oz Elderflower liqueur, St. Germain
Instructions

Shake with ice, and strain into an ice filled rocks glass. Garnish with a lime or grapefruit wedge.

Notes

The original recipe called for .25 oz St. Germain and .25 ounce Simple Syrup. After a few tries, I doubled the St Germain and omitted the Simple Syrup entirely, as I felt the floral taste of the elderflower liqueur was too nuanced, and needed to be more forward.

  • Great tequila grapefruit drink. Kinda as you’d expect, if you’d expect this to be good. Refreshing.
  • margarita-ish, mild elderflower — ★★★★
  • Quite sour but very tasty
  • Nice and refreshing, get the bitterness from the grapefruit. Can't really taste the elderflower though
  • Would go well with a salt rim and a little spice. Maybe jalapeño — ★★★★★
  • Great tequila drink.

  • Same as Airbag — ★★★★★
  • Rich, nuanced, so much spiciness to pick apart. — ★★★★
  • Used Dolin SV, with a dash of Tuaca, as a lame sub for Antica, and couldn’t find the matches. Very “grounded” and complex flavors.
  • The Airbag
  • wow
  • Pepper, vanilla, chocolate, allspice, herbal depth, dunder, all beautifully integrated, smooth, and elegant. Wow.

bza commented on 5/19/2014:

This was pretty good, but I used a newly opened bottle of Carpano and I thought it overpowered everything else (which is no easy task).

How do you flame a cherry though?

DrunkLab commented on 5/19/2014:

Presumably hold a flame under the Laphroaig-soaked cherry. I've never bothered with the flame, just the Scotch. I didn't find this as Carpano-heavy as you did, but I can definitely see how the vanilla could overpower even the bruisers (arrack, agave, allspice) in this drink.

bza commented on 5/19/2014:

I guess if you put the cherry on a stick it will be ok. I took a maraschino cherry, misted the top with Ardbeg, and called it a day.

DrunkLab commented on 11/12/2014:

Name updated from "Airbag" to how it appears in the Death & Co book, a nod to Avery Glasser, who inspired the drink.

eSports Chaebol commented on 3/24/2017:

It looks like an insane mish-mash but it really works. The way all the flavors are there to be almost-cerebrally picked apart like aurally picking out particular parts of an orchestra reminds me a bit of another improbable cocktail I found here, El Nacional.
