Baumé Squad

2 oz Bourbon, Angel's Envy
1⁄2 oz Lemon juice
1⁄4 oz Orange juice
1⁄4 oz Grenadine
1 ds Bitters, Angostura
1 oz Red wine (as float)
1 twst Orange peel (flamed, as garnish)
Instructions

Stir everything but red wine and twist over ice. Strain into a coupe. Float red wine, flame twist over top and discard.

Notes

This is a revision of the Brix Layer - a 12 oz cocktail I had recently at a local Portland restaurant. Their idea was to cross an Old Fashioned with a New York Sour. This is more like a Ward Eight crossed with a New York Sour.

  • Went with 0.25 oz cinnamon syrup replacing demerara syrup.
  • Feels busy and a little unbalanced. [ Used Angostura. ]
  • Made with my lime bitters and dash of grd allspice. Nice and sour-would be a good sunmer drink
  • Easy going.

Brandy Port Sangaree

2 oz Brandy (This doesn't have to be amazing)
1 T Ruby Port
1 T Orange liqueur, Grand Marnier
1 pn Nutmeg (optional, as garnish)
Instructions

Pour over ice in a mixing glass //

Serve in a small wineglass //

garnish with nutmeg (optional)

Notes

This is a serious but surprisingly drinkable cocktail that responds well to variation. Grand Marnier works well with ruby port, but Cointreau or just triple sec and tawny port also make a great combination.

You can also serve neat, which has become known as 'the winter drink' among our circle.

Very interesting drink - made with my own plum gin rather than sloe, so your mileage may vary. I dropped the grenadine in (about half a barspoon) after pouring to give a nice sunrise effect.

  • A little like tomato sauce - maybe a touch too sweet. Added some hot sauce and pepper and that helped.
  • Would be good with mescal and a celery salt rim
  • Delicious use for your leftover grape tomatoes. Quite savory
  • Liquore St Antonio instead of green chartreuse, maple sub for cane syrp. Smoked salted cherry tomato garnish. Not as vegetal, but excellent smoky flavor
  • Tasty. Benefitted from a few drops of saline. Essentially a more sophisticated Bloody Mary. — ★★★★

DrunkLab commented on 3/07/2013:

Cane syrup and fresh cane juice have a vegetal note that resembles, to my palate, green tomatoes, so the pairing of muddled tomatoes and cane syrup here strikes me as inspired. Going to have to make this.

Zachary Pearson commented on 3/07/2013:

Given these ingredients, I'm thinking that "cane syrup" means the French stuff - gold color, cooked down sugar cane juice, like for 'ti punch instead of Steen's.

DrunkLab commented on 3/07/2013:

Yeah, I usually assume the French style is what's meant by "cane syrup" unless otherwise specified. Steen's and Lyle's Golden Syrup have their uses, but tend to overwhelm drinks that aren't designed with them in mind. The French style, meanwhile, adds sweetness and body and tropical-vegetal background notes without disrupting the balance of a drink or crowding out the other flavors. My go-to is the luscious Petite Canne; the more common Clement syrup tastes strongly of the vanilla and clove with which it's spiced and is thus better suited to baking and to Tiki mixes.

Your comment makes me want to try a "'ti punch" with white whiskey and Steen's.

History

Why was this cocktail born in my head? Firstly,it’s because classical daiquiri is one of my favorites. I’m sure that all the optimum in cocktails can be found in the classical ones, and daiquiri ingredients in particular are most suitable to start a new cocktail creation. A number of biggest cities around the world have their own daiquiri varieties, such as Moscow, Tokyo, Sydney, Rio…. So what about the Lithuanian version? You can ask what of the ingredients are truly Lithuanian but the central point is Bacardi itself!

Cleaned this up a little - removed "fresh" from the lime juice - we assume juices are fresh squeezed.

History

After having a couple of Vowel cocktails the conversation was about childhood memories of caraway-flavored lemonade, Nimbu Paani (lemon water), drunk in India. We created a drink to reflect that & the white guy deemed the Indian name appropriate, but only if corrupted to something thoroughly screwed up...
