Chocolate Lady

1 oz Gin
1 oz Triple sec
1 oz Lemon juice
1 oz Crème de Cacao
Instructions

Shake, straight up, whatever garnish you feel appropriate.

Notes

Try experimenting with the amount of Creme de Cacao and gin. Some prefer less chocolate. Some might want White Lady-levels of gin (2 parts gin, 1 part each of everything else).

History

I was trying to recall the recipe for the 20th Century and knew it was a corpse reviver 2, minus one ingredient (and the absinthe) and adding Creme de Cacao. I substituted the wrong one, but I like this a lot! It's effectively a white lady with creme de cacao.

Dan commented on 12/14/2011:

Not sure I get the swizzle part. What would you sub for these unobtainium-based bitters?

Dan,

Whisking the hot milk into the dry shaken mixture is meant to mimic a swizzle - it also ensures that you don't make scrambled eggs ;)

I would substitute Angostura for the Swizzle bitters, but you could always email Adam Elmegirab ;)

Thanks,

Zachary

  • I like Dan's suggestions and would try them next time. I didn't think the sweetness was overpowering but the rye has does struggle to stand up to the Becherovka.
  • Used Fee Bros. bitters and a scant 1/2 syrup. Sweet and orangey, with an interesting finish.
  • Nice. Strong Cinnamon from the Becherovka. Used 1.5 oz rye, 1/4 oz simple, and added 2 dashes Regans'. — ★★★

Dan commented on 12/13/2011:

A nice drink, although I fiddled with it a bit. I used only 1/4 oz simple, but then I tend to like my drinks without detectable sweetness. I upped the rye to 1 1/2 oz to get it to stand up to the Becherovka. I added 2 dashes of Regans' orange bitters, which reinforces the orange notes from the twist and adds significant bitterness (since Becherovka is so mild). I really enjoyed this drink, especially since it highlights an unusual ingredient that is pretty widely available.

AmyJ commented on 2/22/2013:

Nice. Good call re Regan's bitters . Used Rittenhouse Rye, which stands up well. Thanks!

Bevx commented on 2/22/2013:

Finally tried this one. Yup, delicious...Made it "Dan's way," except I split the difference on the syrup at around 1/3 oz. Used the new Dickel Rye, which worked great... First drink I've tried using a "tiny" amount of Fernet where the flavors mingled so perfectly that if I didn't <em>know</em> it was there, I might not have guessed it.

2 oz Light rum, Havana Club 3

Rob Roy with Mezcal. Use good, smokey one. No worms! Use Vya for vermouth and it's totally new world.

  • I made with Ilegal Joven - not as smokey as some of my other preferred mezcals. I had some coffee infused Antica Formula - so used that. I also stirred with one large cube instead of shaking. It's boozy...but good.

The Oban has always smelled like buttered fruitcake to me, and this was a way to create a flavor profile like the bitters, which smell like rum, plums, and clove.
