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.

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.

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

  • The flavors all melded together very nicely
  • Made w/ Appleton and Dolin Rouge. Strong and lovely. Unpeeled pear, some floral flavors. The recipe looked a little “kitchen sink”, but this has a distinct and balanced character.
  • Substituted suze for the yellow chartreuse.
  • Light on Fernet. Strong drink

MOJO1229 commented on 8/11/2016:

A great drink, but one that is heafty in taste; after all, look at the ingredients--rye whiskey (100 proof), anejo tequila (80 proof), and yellow chartreuese (80 proof). The other ingredients add their own distinctive tastes, even though only a small amount is used (except for the sweet vermouth). Fortunately, all of these ingredients blend together well. But for me, the lynch pin of this cocktail was the orange twist (I used a fair amount); its taste overcame much of the bitterness that would have been there without orange twist. I believe All Good Things makes one of those excellent before dinner cocktails.
