Zachary Pearson commented on 5/26/2012:

I cleaned this up a bit - changed Almond syrup, Monin orgeat to Orgeat, Monin. Removed references to fresh juices and mint - KC assumes this already.

Dan commented on 5/30/2012:

Why do you feel the need to filter BG Reynolds? Is the punch that clear with the grapefruit and all? I have not sample Monin, but I understand it to have a strong almond extract flavor, as opposed to the BG Reynolds true almond meat flavor.

BoulderandPebbles commented on 5/30/2012:

While not seeking to create clear punch, I also strain the juice as well to remove big pulp chunks and seeds - personally I don't like the hard bits of almond (or anything that feels that gritty and looks like sand / dirt) in my cocktails - I actually prefer the strongly flavored almond extract-based syrup (but find Fee's too much in this direction) to the subtle, slightly more than simple syrup flavor of the Reynolds for this recipe where the citrus is so forward / bitter. If you don't like that almond extract flavoring, the Reynold is probably a better choice, but a different profile altogether from my perspective.

  • Subbed Torani for Amere Nouvelle. Not much more than sum of parts -quite sweet, chartreuse, and a bit of juniper from the gin. I've never had Amere Nouvelle, but I feel like this needs something with some more mid-tone notes.

1 2⁄3 oz Cynar
1 t Lychee liqueur, Soho
2 ds Fernet Branca
1 twst Grapefruit peel (as garnish)
Instructions

Stir, strain, up, coupe, garnish with grapefuit zest and a rose petal

Notes

Dashes of Fernet are from a re-used Angostura bottle, about 1 tsp total.

Qualified for the Finals of the 2012 Diageo Wolrd Class competition. Paulo "made it thinking about mother-in-laws and their sweet/bitter dualities. The lychee comes as subtle perfume, in the best possible way.'

  • Good use of lychee - I had no idea what to expect but was surprised how much I liked this despite it's sweetness and use of Fernet which often overpowers. This is a winner!
  • Excellent. Just a hint of menthol from the Fernet. Used Beefeater and sub'd Thyme liqueur for Lychee. Try with St. Germain or Pear eau-de-vie — ★★★★

This sounds weird as shit but I love the crafty and elusive elk so I'll have to try it. Thanks, and keep 'em coming!

Dan commented on 5/25/2012:

This does sound crazy, but plausible. Call Mythbusters.

Re the <a href="http://stvincentsyrups.com/products.php">St. Vincent Syrups Coconut "cream"</a>. From the website, it sounds closer to a syrup, and it does not sound like Coco Lopez would be an adequate substitute. Or maybe Coco Lopez plus some Velvet Falernum?

<cite>This is beautiful collaboration of ginger, clove, and cardamom infused into a mixture of water, coconut cream, and cane sugar. Great for creating lighter style mocktails and cocktails with some strong flavor and a nice creamy texture.</cite>

thatwhileifound commented on 5/20/2012:

I'm still really playing around with this one, but so far, it's been about an inch wide by about 3 long. I'm trying to come up with something that takes the Kirsch for what it is, but lightens its heavy alcohol nose and the burn... Trying to take it and turn it into a nice, cool sipper, I guess. Riffing on this general idea, I found that adding a small dash of Campari went well with it too.

Definitely something still in the works. I will tame this Kirsch. I will do it.

Zachary Pearson commented on 5/20/2012:

I think that sugar would reduce proof, tie things together, and help the texture of the drink. Perhaps muddling a sugar cube with the lemon peel, then adding lemon juice and bitters and swirling to dissolve, then the alcohol, ice and shake, strain, up.

Thanks,

Zachary
