  • Made without simple syrup. Delicious.
  • pretty tasty! Easy, tasty Summer on the porch drink ... maybe in a highball with a blast of seltzer — ★★★★
  • Red berry flavors. The gentle bitterness of the Aperol and the bass note of the blackstrap rum serve well to contribute gravitas.

Made without simple syrup. Delicious.

The Deliverance

1 oz Bourbon, Bulleit (cedar infused)
1 oz Calvados
1⁄2 oz Fernet Branca
1⁄2 oz Maple syrup
Instructions

Stir. Strain into a double old fashioned over ice. Garnish with thin red apple slice.

Notes

The Infusion is very quick and simple. Per 750ml bottle of Bourbon (I use Bulleit at home, and Four Roses at work, both work well) add a SMALL fistful of food grade cedar chips. Any store that sells barbeque chips should have cedar (about $5 for a big bag). Throw it all in a mason jar for 3-4 hours, agitating occasionally, and then strain it back into the bottle. The more chips you use the shorter the infusion time, but you're going to lose a lot more bourbon to the chips. You should lose about an ounce per bottle. And don't let it sit for more than four hours, cause it can get extremely bitter.

Sorry Zachary, I haven't checked back in a bit.

You can just toss the chips out after, or throw them in a batch of rich simple and simmer it for 15min. Then your left with an intense cedar syrup, which I've been using a lot.
Cheers!

I did not have cedar chips handy, and used a basic rye instead. Used a little less Fernet and maple (1 part of each to 3 parts each of the rye and Calvados). Delicious. Will try with cedar infused bourbon in future.

This isn't by chance 2 drinks, is it? If it's one, that's like a 7 1/2 ounce drink.

Thanks,

Zachary

Roro commented on 10/06/2012:

The amount of Aperol and Cocchi Americano should have been 1 Tablespoon each, not 1 ounce. This could be two drinks or one long one.

Salanth commented on 10/20/2013:

I'm with you in thinking that this is more like 2 drinks, with the 4 oz. of 40% liquor in it.

Kindred Cocktails commented on 6/13/2016:

Curated from 1 to 2 drinks as it seems plenty big enough for two. Also fixed capitalization and tweaked up instructions to conform to style guidelines.

Aphrodite and Eros

1 Egg white
1 1⁄2 oz Reposado Tequila
3⁄4 oz Aperol
1⁄2 oz Falernum, Velvet Falernum
3⁄4 oz Grapefruit juice
1⁄2 t Cinnamon syrup
2 Cardamom (green pod)
Instructions

Muddle cardamom (a mortar & pestle work great for this), then add remaining ingredients. Dry shake. Add ice and shake vigorously. Double strain into coctail glass.

Delightful! I didn't have the cardamom to muddle so I gave it two drops of cadamom bitters.

shadowkirby commented on 1/04/2022:

Was expecting a fairly interesting and complex drink but the flavours felt a bit muddied. I suspect it may be due to my using of red grapefruit instead of white...

  • Blends well with green chartreuseat the front. Not too boozy. A touch on the sweet side, would bring the agave back to 1/4 next time.
  • Very balanced, nice work Stew! I used Pisco Puro from Cuneo, Leopold Bros. Maraschino, Jimador Silver. I added a spray of rosemary/wild honey from Alice and the Magician.

  • Nice tension between the ingredients. Just when you think the orgeat is making it too sweet, the Cynar pulls you the other way. 4.5 if I could.

This is fascinating!  The bourbon blends so well with the cassis.  A great discovery, Stew.

Q.B. Cooler

1 oz Jamaican rum (gold)
1 oz Puerto Rican Rum (white)
1⁄2 oz Demerara Rum
1 oz Club soda
1 oz Orange juice
1⁄2 oz Lime juice
1⁄2 oz Honey syrup (see notes)
1⁄4 oz Falernum
1⁄2 t Ginger syrup
2 ds Bitters, Angostura
4 oz Crushed ice
Instructions

In a blender, add everything and blend on high for 5 seconds. Pour unstrained into a double old fashioned glass.

Notes

Honey Syrup is 1:1 honey:hot water, stirred until dissolved. To make ginger syrup, cut 2 inches of peeled ginger root into coins. In a saucepan, add the ginger, 1 cup of white sugar and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil, simmer for 2 minutes, then remove from the heat and cover. Steep for 2 hours, then strain.

History

The "Q.B." is for "Quiet Birdmen", a drinking organization for pilots founded in 1921 which included Charles Lindbergh and a few astronauts among its members. The Bum also says that this drink was the inspiration for Trader Vic's Mai Tai (though I can't see the similarities, honestly).
