I made this with Becherovka for cinnamon syrup and Licor 43 for vanilla syrup. I doubled the Becherovka to help the cinnamon come through. It was a nice tiki cocktail, although using St Elizabeth Alspice Dram, I felt the allspice dominated. I'd cut it by at least half.

This is a Don the Beachcomber original from ca. 1937, not a Jeff Berry drink as listed here. We do have Berry to thank for decoding the recipe, however.

The Count of Kingston

3⁄4 oz Jamaican rum, Smith & Cross
3⁄4 oz Fernet Branca
3⁄4 oz Lime juice
1⁄2 oz Simple syrup (1:1)
1⁄4 oz Orange liqueur, Prunier (Cointreau would work)
1 pn Salt
3 dr Bitters, Bittermens 'Elemakule Tiki (On top of finished drink)
Instructions

Shake and strain into chilled coupe, add the 3 drops of bitters on top.

Notes

Depending on your tolerance of sweetness the .5 oz of simple syrup could be a scant half-ounce and the drink still works.

  • I usually am a big fan of Stew's creations, but I couldn't finish this one.
  • Yet to try
  • Made with Herbsaint and homemade pimento dram. More multi-dimensional than I expected. Might be worth trying the Herbsaint as just a rinse.

  • surprisingly charming! Sweet, but not too sweet with a nice sour balance and odd nutty/caramel hint. I'm guessing that different sherries would add complexity...

  • Just a little too tart IMO. Upping the chartreuse by a smidge might help, or reducing the lime juice to .75 oz.

Just a little too tart IMO.  Upping the chartreuse by a smidge might help, or reducing the lime juice to .75 oz.  It's a decent drink as it stands, with tequila and chartreuse once again working great together, but a bit too sour.

Vienna, September 13th, 1683

1 oz Coffee (brewed, cold)
3⁄4 oz Mezcal, Alipus San Balthazar
3⁄4 oz Genever, Bols Barrel Aged
3⁄4 oz Zwack Unicum
1⁄4 oz Suze
1⁄4 oz Orgeat
1 bsp Bitters, Boker's
3 ds Bitters, Scrappy's Lime
3 dr Bitters, Scrappy's Cardamom
Instructions

Shake, strain into a double old fashioned glass with a large ice cube.

Notes

Sorry for the weird/hard to find ingredients. The Mezcal is literally mothball tasting - it drives the primary flavor profile of the drink. Some ingredients give coffee flavors (Unicum, coffee, Bokers). Some give menthol/cardamom (mezcal, bitters, Suze). Orgeat is texture and mouthfeel and to give a Tiki feel.
