  • 8/1/23: Made with Liber and Co classic gum syrup instead of cinnamon syrup. The recipe sounded too sweet as written but it was not. Drink was okay. Not as good as a Jägerita. Might be interested to try a Mai Tai riff with Fernet in place of rum.

  • Quite a fascinating drink. Branca Menta and Orange Flower water play well together, none overpowers. I am quite positive an Irish whiskey as a base would work just as well. 4.5*
  • Extremely good, honey + branca menta is amazing.

The Listening Room

1 1⁄2 oz Apple brandy (Such as Laird's Bonded)
1⁄2 oz Cardamaro
1⁄2 oz Sweet vermouth, Carpano Punt e Mes
1⁄2 oz Amontillado Sherry
1⁄4 oz Apricot liqueur
1 twst Orange peel (As garnish)
1 Cherry (As garnish)
Instructions

Stir with ice, strain into a cocktail coupe, and garnish with an orange twist-cherry flag.

History

After coming across Ran Duan's Father's Advice, I became inspired to riff on it. Instead of a tropical angle, I took it in an apple-apricot direction akin the Saucy Sue and Tulip. For a name, the apple component reminded me of the art work of Rene Magritte, but since Matt Schrage had already used the name Son of Man, I went with the Listening Room.

Kilted Flower

2 oz Scotch
3⁄8 oz CioCiaro (Sub Amer Picon, Torani Amer, or Bigallet China China)
3⁄8 oz Amaro, Cappelletti Sfumato Rabarbaro (Sub Zucca or other Rabarbaro)
1⁄8 oz Demerara syrup
2 ds Bitters, Bittermens Xocolatl Mole (Sub chocolate bitters)
1 twst Orange peel (As garnish)
Instructions

Stir with ice, strain into an old fashioned glass with a large ice cube, and garnish with an orange twist.

Notes

A little smoke in the Scotch department doesn't hurt. I used Cutty Sark Prohibition, but a mix of blended with a little smoky Scotch (perhaps 1/4 oz) could work too. Will prosper without it though.

History

After having the African Flower and the Maravilla, I decided to make a hybrid of them. I combined the amaro from each of them and dropped the crème de cacao, and for a spirit, I figured that somewhere between Bourbon and mezcal was Scotch. Scotch was also on my mind for it was Bobby Burns night besides it working rather well with Amaro Sfumato, and for a name, the Kilted Flower came to mind.
