  • For as simple as it is, this is very tasty. I used Catoctin Creek Rye, Cointreau, and homemade allspice dram.

Mighty tasty! I added a couple dashes of grapefruit bitters to poke a little fun at the allspice, and added an amarena cherry for garnish because, well, why not?

Biff Malibu commented on 1/04/2023:

One barspoon of allspice dram didn't really assert itself in the face of 2 oz of High West Double Rye - maybe two barspoons.

Capone's Island

2 oz Rye, Templeton Rye
1 oz Aromatized wine, Marolo Chinato
1 bsp Orange liqueur, Mandarine Napoleon
1 bsp Bénédictine
4 dr Bitters, Abbott's
Instructions

Stir over ice, serve straight up, no garnish.

Notes

Marolo Chinato is not strictly speaking a vermouth, it's an aromatised wine that's not as sweet as vermouth, so it's not easy to just swap it out and keep the character of the drink.

History

Invented while trying to find a good cocktail to make the chinato really sing.

Shawn C commented on 10/19/2022:

This is an excellent cocktail with a burgundy hue and lush flavor from the barolo chinato (I used Cocchi's Barolo Chinato which has become a favorite of mine.) It is hard to tell how much the small quantities of Mandarine Napoleon and Benedictine are doing, but they seem to provide some backing and depth to the flavor profile as I can taste elements of them around the periphery. The Mandarine Napoleon can be a bit strange in sparser flavor environments, but with the depth here it makes a subtle assist. I mistakenly used 4 dashes (rather than 4 drops) of my Abbott's bitters prepared from Darcy O'Neils' recipe, but this didn't hurt the beverage at all, and likely added to some of the components in the Benedictine while providing a gentle touch of anise to the cocktail, but not so much as to be noticed as licorice. The chinato is so flavorful in its own right that it is easier to supplement it than it is to overpower it.

Freeside

2 oz Gin, Plymouth
1 oz Bianco Vermouth, Dolin
2 ds Caramelized Ramp Bitters, Bitters Old Men
1 spg Dill (Muddle)
2 sli Cucumber (Muddle)
1 twst Lemon peel (Muddle)
1 spg Dill (Garnish)
Instructions

Muddle the dill, cucumber and lemon peel in a mixing glass with the Dolin Blanc and Bitters, Old Men Caramelized Ramp Bitters. Add gin and stir with ice, fine-straining into a chilled coupe. Garnish with a smacked dill sprig.

History

"Freeside" is a Gibson-inspired Gibson variant, swapping out the Dry Vermouth for Dolin Blanc, and replacing the Pickled Onion with muddled Dill, Cucumber, Lemon Peel and Caramelized Ramp Bitters. Dill was chosen due to its resemblance to a data tree, an integral computer science data structure, while Kirby Cucumbers were used for having a similar shape as Gibson's Freeside space resort.
