The Perseverance Cocktail

2 oz Rye, Wild Turkey
1⁄2 oz Ramazzotti
1⁄2 oz Aromatized wine, Dubonnet Rouge
1⁄2 oz Sweet vermouth
2 ds Orange bitters, Regans' orange bitters
Instructions

Combine all ingredients over ice and stir. Strain over a large ice cube in a rocks glass.

Notes

Wild Turkey 101 gives nice spice that helps balance the bitterness of the Ramazzotti and sweetness of the Doubonnet. The orange bitters add a nice level of complexity. NOTE: Try filling balloons with water and freezing them to produce spheres/tear drops of ice...perfect for rocks glasses and very little dilution.

History

I'm currently in the middle of graduate school mid-term exams and was inspired by the history of the Boulevardier Cocktail; if the legacy of the classic American cocktail can survive Prohibition, I can survive these exams...and enjoy a tasty drink along the way!

Curated this. Rewrote this - it originally had more booze than dairy (2 oz brandy to 1.5 oz milk). I found a recipe from a Brennan's cookbook, and updated the drink to reflect what is probably a more traditional version of things. Thanks,  Zachary

Good. Benefits from more dilution than I would have guessed, given the relatively low ABV.

2 t Sugar (demerara)
1 oz Apple brandy
7 oz Coffee
3 oz Cream
1 cube Sugar cube
1 pn Cinnamon
1 twst Orange peel

Preheat the mug, add the sugar and the brandy.

Fill the mug with coffee, leaving room for cream. Give it a quick stir and make sure the sugar is dissolved.

Dan commented on 4/12/2012:

Wow, that sounds like a nice cocktail. I finally finished my bottle of Bianco. I wonder if Bonal Gentiane-Quina could be substituted? I love JM Blanc. I need to find another bottle.

Dan,

Bonal isn't substitutable for any vermouth - it's more like Cocchi Americano + Oloroso sherry.

Thanks,

Zach

bza commented on 4/12/2012:

Hmm, that might be on the sweeter side, but I think as a separate drink it could work. Or maybe half bonal/half dry vermouth? Bianco is great for a handful of drinks (especially Eyeore's Requiem) but not as versatile as regular sweet/dry vermouths.

They have JM Blanc at liquor world in Porter. It's the best white rhum agricole for cocktails, I think, as it's assertive but not INSANE like some of the others I've had, like the Duquesne bottle I have that is awesome but completely overpowers any other ingredients.

Dan commented on 12/21/2012:

Still no bianco, so I made this with dry vermout h. Very nice and not, to my taste, too dry. I'm not sure about the persimmon, but it's a fruity drink with no strong fruit ingredient.

bza commented on 12/22/2012:

This is one of the few drinks I've made up that I go back to on a regular basis - basically whenever I have a bottle of bianco open. I'll have to try it with dry vermouth - actually, dry vermouth and rhum agricole makes a lot of sense to me, although that's a dry starting point for any cocktail.

  • Used Pedro Ximenez sherry. Worked.
  • I Split the base with Appleton Reserve and El Dorado 3yr. Excellent, but extremely rich. Great candidate for experimenting with rums. I want to try 1/2 oz of the base of something high proof like wray or rum fire.
  • also listed a 2:1:1 ratio & differing rums (unaged rhum agricole)
  • The sherry makes this drink. It's well-balanced and the campari mellows out in very nice ways.
