  • Far too much green chatreuse. Tried halving it and even then it might be slightly too chatreuse heavy (and I love chatreuse!)

cswasey commented on 7/26/2013:

Not bad. Comes over as a little heavy on Chartreuse for me, but maybe that's the point. Blends well with the botanical in the gin, but it's definitely a herbal-heavy drink. The grapefruit and simple syrup add that touch of sweetness that round it out nicely though. Would have it again, but maybe bring the chartreuse down to 3/4 of an ounce and add a bit more grapefruit juice.

  • An interesting rye sour.
  • Solid sour with an interesting finish but not super interesting. — ★★★
  • Good whiskey based sour, Apricot colored.
  • Note that source for the drink has 1/2oz each of Lime and Benedictine. Article also gives alternative name as "Quick Recovery"

Stalwart Cocktail

2 oz Rye, Wild Turkey 101
3⁄4 oz Maraschino Liqueur, Luxardo
3 ds Peychaud's Bitters
3 dr Bitters, Bittercube Cherry Bark Vanilla
1 Brandied cherry (as garnish)
Instructions

Combine all ingredients in mixing glass, add ice and stir, strain over ice in double rocks glass, garnish with home-made brandied cherry.

Notes

Cherry is predominant nose, rye leads in the taste, followed by dry and dark cherry. The vanilla of the bitters ties everything together.

History

My modification of The Steadfast cocktail, which I encountered on the "Crepes of Wrath" website and is credited to Food Network star Ted Allen. I felt that the original bourbon-based recipe would be too sweet and decided to replace it with a spicy rye and reduce the maraschino. I approve!

  • Dropped the Maraschino to 1/2 oz, and bumped the cherry bark bitters to 6 drops. That balanced out the sweet/spicy notes more to my liking, was like a cherry old fashioned.
  • Doesn't really come together - the spiciness of the Rye with the spiciness of the Bittercube bitters seems a bit in conflict, and somehow this underscores the funkiness of the large amount of Maraschino.

Very tasty! No brandied cherries, so I used a splash of homemade cherry brandy (from Serious Eats), which adds a little extra sweetness, but is very enjoyable.

Lancaster County

2 1⁄2 oz Bourbon, Elijah Craig
1⁄2 oz Peach liqueur
2 bsp Maple syrup
3 dr Bitters, Urban Moonshine Maple Bitters
2 ds Bitters, Fee Brothers Black Walnut
Instructions

Combine all ingredients, add ice, stir until chilled, strain into double rocks glass with large ice.

Notes

A tasty balance of sweet and spicy flavors; nose is of maple, first taste is sweet-spicy bourbon with peach undertones. Nutty finish provided by walnut bitters.

History

Lancaster county PA, also known as Pennsylvania Dutch Country, has a unique climate that is perfect for both peaches and maple syrup. Much further north or south and the climate becomes unfavorable for one or the other; who's up for a slice of bourbon-maple-peach cobbler!

  • Sweet but delicious
  • I didn't have peach schnapps so I used Crème de Pamplemousse Rose. Nice drink, a little sweet, but enjoyable. I look forward to making with the peach schnapps.

I got the maple bitters just for this. Sweet and delightful. Thanks for sharing!

Zachary Pearson commented on 2/18/2015:

Curated this slightly - peach schnapps liqueur is redundant. Changed to peach liqueur. Thanks, Zachary
