Ten Crucial Days

1 oz Rye (Sagamore 83-proof, white label)
1 oz Applejack, Lairds 100 proof
1 oz Madeira, Blandy's (10-year Bual, "medium-rich")
1⁄4 oz Allspice Dram, Bitter Truth
Instructions

Stir ingredients over ice. Serve up in a chilled coupe.

Notes

"Colonial American" variation on the Manhattan, with the spirit base split between Maryland rye and 100-proof apple brandy, and bual madeira replacing Italian vermouth. Pimento Dram rounds it out, taking the place of bitters. Named in honor of the winter 1776-77 campaign of the American War for Independence.

Alpino

1 oz Rye, Ragtime
1 oz Old Tom Gin, Ransom
3⁄4 oz Braulio
1⁄2 oz Zirbenz Stone Pine Liqueur
1⁄4 oz Bianco Vermouth, Dolin
2 ds Bitters, Angostura
2 ds Bitters (Bennett Wild Hunt or other woodland/pine type)
1 twst Lemon
Instructions

Stir with ice, strain, coupe, twist.

Notes

Braulio and Zirbenz are key to this drink. But in lieu of Ragtime, another spicy rye would work. For the OT gin, I tried both Hayman's and Ransom but prefer the latter in this recipe. If you can't find Bennett Wild Hunt bitters, use Cocktail Punk Alpino, Hudson Standard Spruce Shoot, or pine bitters.

Minerva

1 2⁄3 oz Gin
2⁄3 oz Amontillado Sherry
1⁄3 oz RinQuinQuin a la Peche
1⁄2 oz Triple sec
1 ds Orange bitters
Instructions

Stir with ice in mixing glass, strain into chilled cocktail glass.

Notes

This cocktail is well-balanced with only slight sweetness, but not dry either. The mild peach of the RinQuinQuin plays off of the Amontillado's woody/nutty flavor. The recipe lists triple sec, but curacao or Cointreau might work as well. I prepared it with inexpensive DeKuyper triple sec and Regan's orange bitters.

History

This cocktail is on the website of the RinQuinQuin maker, Distilleries et Domaines de Provence. No other source information other than the ingredients and name are in their recipe.
