Wyoming Summer

2 oz Gin
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
1⁄2 oz Maraschino Liqueur
1⁄2 oz Chambord
Instructions

Combine with ice, shake, and strain.

Notes

Variation on an Aviation that uses Jackson Hole Still Works Absaroka gin, named after the Absaroka mountains in Wyoming and has a distinctive cinnamon and spice flavor and Chambord in place of creme de violet. I'm sure it would taste great with a more traditional gin as well. Actually made it for the first time during winter, and it was great.

Very good! Hovers right on the line of being sour, without going over.

Oh Yeh !!! I'm liking this one !!! It is the Aviation which first drew me into the world of Real Cocktails, so riffs on the Aviation instantly become personal favorites.

I didn’t have old Tom gin so I used London dry, and I misread the recipe and used dry vermouth instead of Bianca, but I actually really liked it. And the good news is it wasn’t too sweet. Also I stirred it. Don’t see why you would shake this one.

Montreux

2 oz Bourbon, Bulleit
3⁄4 oz Amaro, Pasubio
1⁄4 oz Amaro, Cappelletti Sfumato Rabarbaro
1 ds Orange bitters, Regans' orange bitters
Instructions

Add ingredients to mixing glass with ice, stir. Strain into Nick & Nora glass.

Notes

A fusion of the musty blueberry of Pasubio, and the smokey tart of the rabarbaro provides a balanced drink with a middle of the road bourbon. For me, this works.

History

I am digging Pasubio. Combining its earthy/musty blueberry with the smokey
Sfumato Rabarbaro makes sense in measured ratios. The name is a reference to Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water" referring to a hotel fire in Montreux, Switzerland that inspired the song.

Flanders' Planter's Punch

3 oz Light rum
1 1⁄2 oz Bourbon
1⁄2 oz Cassis
1 1⁄6 oz Simple syrup (1:1)
1 1⁄6 oz Lemon juice
2⁄3 oz Lime juice
3 oz Club soda
Instructions

Pre-batching the simple syrup, lemon, and lime juice as a homemade sweet and sour mix is recommended (two parts 1:1 syrup, two parts lemon, one part lime). Build over ice in a pint glass and stir.

Notes

As this recipe includes a whopping five ounces of liquor and is firmly in the Long Island Iced Tea category of highball strength, you may halve the recipe and/or dilute with more club soda. It is quite flavorful, and can easily be “watered down” without losing too much character.

History

Though I’ve seen a few tries to recreate the more famous cocktail in Simpsons lore — the “Flaming Homer” / “Flaming Moe” — I have attempted to reverse-engineer a different drink from the long-running show, “Flanders’ Planter’s Punch” from the Season 2 episode “The War of the Simpsons.” Though his attitude toward alcohol (specifically blackberry schnapps) grew more conservative through the course of the series, in this early episode Ned Flanders mixes up a highly potent cocktail that got Homer so drunk it would threaten his marriage.

In that particular episode, there’s a bit more to go on in terms of ingredients than with the Flaming Homer/Moe. After Homer complains that he tastes no alcohol in the drink, Ned informs him that the drink actually contains “three shots of rum, a jigger of bourbon, and just a little dab-a-roo of crème de cassis for flavor.” Assuming a shot here is one ounce, this would be 3 oz rum, 1½ oz bourbon, and let’s call a “dab-a-roo” ½ oz crème de cassis. Planter’s Punch is also a fairly specific category, so the drink would likely include a citrus element plus dilution with water or seltzer. As the scene takes place in the Simpsons’ home c. 1991, the citrus is likely in the form of bottled sweet and sour mix. Making your own sour mix with fresh ingredients can be easily done by combining two parts 1:1 simple syrup, two parts lemon juice, and one part lime juice.

The final recipe I pieced together is 3 oz white rum (Plantation 3-Star), 1½ oz bourbon whiskey (Wild Turkey 101), ½ oz crème de cassis (Gabriel Boudier), plus 3 oz homemade sour mix and 3 oz club soda. This recipe seems to satisfy the two requirements of the drink based on information from the episode. It is, A.) delicious, and B.) far stronger than it tastes. What started out as a weird homage to a thirty-year-old cartoon may now be destined for my regular cocktail rotation.

Jamaican Beer

1 oz Dark rum, Appleton V/X
1⁄2 oz Rhum Agricole, Barbancourt 8
1 oz Whipped cream (see note)
1 pn Allspice (as garnish)
Instructions

Stir in the glass the first two ingredient with a big rock of ice. Then drop the cream very slow in the glass, to make like a nice white foam on the top of the drink (as a deconstructed White Russian...) Drop a pinch of allspice.

Notes

To make the whipped cream: In a bowl, whip some coconut cream, sugar (1 or 2 teaspoon for 1 oz of cream, see notes), and small/thin zests of lime (a hour before making the cocktail).

Pastry-like cocktail.
It's supposed to taste as sweet as an Old-Fashioned.
