  • Very good. Definitely margarita-like. Try this again.
  • Great for light cocktail. Can leave out the agave syrup if you're in a dryer mood . Few drops of orange bitters don't do any harm. — ★★★★
  • Used Seville Orange marmalade for a little bit’a bitter
  • Appealing. Like a margarita that took the path less trodden instead of lime. — ★★★★★

FWIW the Death & Co. book has this as 1/4 oz. agave nectar instead of 1/2 oz. agave syrup, and no garnish.

Petticoat Junction

2 oz Gin (London Dry)
1 oz Aperol
1⁄2 oz Lemon juice
1⁄2 oz Orgeat
2 ds Grapefruit bitters, Bitter Truth Grapefruit
1 ds Cherry Bitters, Fee Brothers Cherry
1 twst Lemon peel
Instructions

Shake & strain into chilled cocktail glass. Express twist, rim glass, and drop in.

Notes

Each ingredient plays its part, from nose to sip to swallow to finish. Layer after layer, with a sum greater than its parts.

Avoid Monin Orgeat on this one; it imparts an odd "chocolatey" flavor.

History

Formerly posted here as "The [Redacted] Cocktail." Among friends, this drink has a "bawdier" name (as seen at the Reference link), but I've finally settled on a name which better suits its flavor profile.

  • I'm not sure about this one. It's ok. I didn't use fresh lemon juice, so would like to try with that, may brighten it up. Seems like rum might pair better than gin.

MOJO1229 commented on 12/10/2016:

Petticoat Junction: I saw five rating with an average of 4.5. I tried the cocktail, and it liked it--more than I thought I would. But the most I could squeeze out of it for a rating was 3.5. I wish people who rate a drink at 4.0 and above would make a comment that reveals what brought their liking for the cocktail to that level. When I rate a drink at 3.5 and many others are rating the same drink at 4.5, I begin to wonder: (1) am I too stringent in how I rate a given cocktail, or (2) Am I overlooking a characteristic and/or flavor ot the cocktail.

Sometimes, before I even make a given cocktail--thanks to one or two comments--I will make a change or two in the cocktail's recipe. Also, I'm trying to learn more about mixology, and often I find comments helpful in that regard. So, please, if you REALLY like a cocktail, let me and others know what lead you to rate a particular cocktail at 4.0 or higher. Thanks

Bitter Old Coot

1 1⁄4 oz Rye
3⁄4 oz Fernet Branca
3⁄4 oz Drambuie
3 ds Bitters, Bitter Truth Jerry Thomas’ Own Decanter
1 cube Ice (Large)
Instructions

Place a large ice cube in an Old Fashioned glass. Add liquid ingredients and stir until well chilled.

Notes

Highly Recommended Option: Luxardo Maraschino Cherry

History

Per Imbibe article: "This cocktail is simpler than the adventurous concoctions that Justus Drugstore is known for. It started out as an end-of-night staff drink and the employees liked it so well that it made it onto the menu. Justus bartenders use housemade bitters but the Bitter Truth and Fee Brothers options make tasty substitutions."

  • Tastes like Fernet Branca
  • Drinks w/ this much Fernet Branca tend to mostly take like Fernet Branca.
  • Similar to a sweet Manhattan but with a fairly strong licorice finish. I found it very enjoyable.

  • This is a nice drink! I've made w/ dif amounts of gin from .5 to 1.5 and all good. I've always made with dry vermouth, but will get some blanc to properly try.
  • Not sure why the classic negroni proportions are skewed to be so gin-heavy- I like much more with a full ounce of vermouth and gran classico
  • Perfectly balanced with Plymouth gin and Martini bianco — ★★★★★

MOJO1229 commented on 11/29/2016:

<br />A lovely drink, but even more so than one of my favorite cocktails, the traditional Negroni. Why so? The use of Gran Classico instead of Campari. Gran Classico gives a bitterness that is a hallmark of the Negroni, only less so. This is the cocktail of choice, I believe, for those who would like a less bitter Negroni-syle cocktail. But don't sell short the Dolin Blanco, which has a sweetness to it, but less than the sweet vermouth used in the traditional Negroni.

Consequently, the Negroni d'Or deserves a good gin, one wiith a nice bouquet. Tanqueray Ten, Beefeater 24, and Citadelle come to mind. Without the Campari and sweet vermouth, the gin is able to peek its head out a little more and make its presence known. This is truly a Negroni of gold!

The Lady Chesdin

2⁄3 oz Gin, Hendrick's (must be Hendrick's)
2 t Dry vermouth, Noilly Prat Original Dry (or any French vermouth)
1⁄2 t Orange bitters, Regans' orange bitters
1⁄2 t Peychaud's Bitters
1⁄2 t Bitters, Angostura
1 ds Celery bitters, Bitter Truth Celery
2 cube Sugar cube
3 sli Cucumber
1 part Onion (Red, 1.5 cm square, single layer)
1 wdg Lime
1 part Cucumber (Spear)
Instructions

Heavily macerate three slices cucumber, two sugar cubes.

Gently macerate/muddle lime and onion in same container, add remaining ingredients.

Shake 15-20 seconds, pour over tumbler-full of ice, garnish with cucumber spear

Zachary Pearson commented on 3/22/2012:

Cleaned this up a bit - removed "fresh" from the ginger - we assume all fresh ingredients are fresh. I also removed the "Any Call Brand" from the Rye - we also assume you're using high quality ingredients and that if you think any Rye will work, other people will use whatever Rye they have on hand.

Thanks,

Zachary
