Moderated slightly for style and to consolidate ginger snap liqueur into ginger liqueur. I presumed that the pinch of nutmeg was the garnish, and was not in the shaker.

Fig Bee's Knees

1 oz Honey syrup (Fig infused, see note)
1⁄2 oz Lime juice
2 ds Bitters, Fee Brothers Black Walnut
Instructions

Shake with ice. Strain into chilled martini glass. Garnish with a sprig of rosemary.

Notes

Cook fresh figs with 1 cup water and 1 cup honey. Simmer & remove from heat as soon as boiling begins. Push through strainer and refrigerate.

History

Renamed from Fig Martini, since it isn't, well, a Martini. It resembles a Bee's Knees, but with fig and lime in lieu of lemon.

Dan commented on 12/21/2012:

Sounds very good, and a reason to finally get some Fee Black Walnut Bitters. Republished as a Fig Bee's Knees, since it is not a Martini-style cocktail. The original poster is welcome to rename it so long as the name conforms to any well-established drinks referenced in the name.

Prospect Park

1 1⁄2 oz Rye
1 1⁄2 oz Aperol
1⁄4 oz Maraschino Liqueur, Luxardo
1⁄4 oz Simple syrup
1⁄2 oz Sweet vermouth, Carpano Punt e Mes
1 Maraschino cherry (as garnish)
Instructions

Stir, strain, straight up, cocktail, garnish

Notes

Apparently Eastern Standard uses 1/2 oz of a 1:1 mixture of Maraschino and simple.

History

Riff on a Red Hook by adding Aperol. Prospect Park, like Red Hook, is in Brooklyn, NY. Both drinks start from a Manhattan.

Wow, was this really not on here before? A Boston classic!

Dan commented on 12/20/2012:

I just went to try this tonight and -- THE HUMANITY -- out of Punt e Mes. How I could let this happen, I do not know. Zach is going to strip me of my rank in the Federation of Amari Sluts.

Dan commented on 12/21/2012:

If you can't spell Nonino, you aren't allowed to drink it. Go directly to Jägermeister; do not pass Go.

Hmm... I'm imagining a bar where you have to spell your drink in order to get served. As much as I abhor mangled English, I do not go there often. ;)

Great cocktail! I enjoyed one of these last weekend at the Eastern Standard.

When I asked for the recipe, I was told they cut the Luxardo Maraschino Liquor with a 1:1 simple syrup for this cocktail. Sure enough, when I mixed this up at home according to the ratios here, I found the drink was overpowered with the Maraschino flavor!

Thoughts, anyone?

Dan commented on 5/29/2013:

I believe it. Recipe adjusted as per your info. Thanks!

Following a discussion about why you can't make Manhattan variants with Scotch, I made this with Monkey Shoulder and recommend the result. Maybe a little sweeter than with rye, and almost certainly needs a new name. Tartan Hook?

yarm commented on 5/13/2024:

When I got the recipe years ago, they never mentioned cutting it. And I just got a copy of their bar bible, and it is a 1/2 oz Maraschino and no simple syrup. I've made it at work plenty with 1/2 oz Maraschino and it tastes just like I remember it.

bza commented on 5/20/2024:

Yeah my friend got the recipe for this in the 00s directly from Tommy and there was no simple, it's definitely .5 maraschino.

  • Made with homemade coffee liqueur. Consider using less than 1/4 oz so as not to overpower the drink.
  • Made with La Garrocha and Kahlua. Fascinating tingly taste. Like a more interesting old fashioned.

My coffee liqueur is from House Spirits, and I used a lemon twist since that is what I had. I like how the sherry comes through, and it pairs really well with the coffee and spicy herbal flavors from the other ingredients.

I like this as written and also with more tequila than the liqueurs. Tonight I did 1/4 oz of kirschwasser instead of maraschino, it def. worked.

  • Followed 1 oz gin 1/2 Suze. Balanced.
  • Made with mezcal. 3.5 stars if I could
  • Increased gin to 1 oz, reduced Suze to 0.5 oz, added salt to coupe rim, garnish with lavender sprig. — ★★★★
  • Not bad; nice flavor change
  • Made with Amère Sauvage (reduced to 1/2oz with gin boosted to 1oz). Even so reduced, the bitter woodiness was hardcore.
  • It's hard to not read this next to the Last Word: Suze is more bitter, but less complex and herbal, than Chartreuse. The lemon is also simpler than lime. The result is that the maraschino comes through too forcefully IMHO.
  • Excellent, though I think it works best with a little more gin and a bit less Suze.
  • I wanted to just use of the last drops of Suze we had, so went with 1 of everything except 3/4 on the Maraschino, and that made for the perfect balance.
