  • Quite a fascinating drink. Branca Menta and Orange Flower water play well together, none overpowers. I am quite positive an Irish whiskey as a base would work just as well. 4.5*
  • Extremely good, honey + branca menta is amazing.

The Listening Room

1 1⁄2 oz Apple brandy (Such as Laird's Bonded)
1⁄2 oz Cardamaro
1⁄2 oz Sweet vermouth, Carpano Punt e Mes
1⁄2 oz Amontillado Sherry
1⁄4 oz Apricot liqueur
1 twst Orange peel (As garnish)
1 Cherry (As garnish)
Instructions

Stir with ice, strain into a cocktail coupe, and garnish with an orange twist-cherry flag.

History

After coming across Ran Duan's Father's Advice, I became inspired to riff on it. Instead of a tropical angle, I took it in an apple-apricot direction akin the Saucy Sue and Tulip. For a name, the apple component reminded me of the art work of Rene Magritte, but since Matt Schrage had already used the name Son of Man, I went with the Listening Room.

Kilted Flower

2 oz Scotch
3⁄8 oz CioCiaro (Sub Amer Picon, Torani Amer, or Bigallet China China)
3⁄8 oz Amaro, Cappelletti Sfumato Rabarbaro (Sub Zucca or other Rabarbaro)
1⁄8 oz Demerara syrup
2 ds Bitters, Bittermens Xocolatl Mole (Sub chocolate bitters)
1 twst Orange peel (As garnish)
Instructions

Stir with ice, strain into an old fashioned glass with a large ice cube, and garnish with an orange twist.

Notes

A little smoke in the Scotch department doesn't hurt. I used Cutty Sark Prohibition, but a mix of blended with a little smoky Scotch (perhaps 1/4 oz) could work too. Will prosper without it though.

History

After having the African Flower and the Maravilla, I decided to make a hybrid of them. I combined the amaro from each of them and dropped the crème de cacao, and for a spirit, I figured that somewhere between Bourbon and mezcal was Scotch. Scotch was also on my mind for it was Bobby Burns night besides it working rather well with Amaro Sfumato, and for a name, the Kilted Flower came to mind.

Puebla Centurion

1 1⁄2 oz Blanco tequila (Patron Silver)
1 oz Centerbe (Faccia Brutto)
1⁄2 oz Ancho Reyes chile liqueur
1⁄2 oz Bianco Vermouth, Dolin
Instructions

Stir ingredients with ice, strain into chilled Nick & Nora or coupe. (No garnish planned, although a lime zest or herb sprig could be good options.)

Notes

Patron's gentle agave provides the background tying the Centerbe and Ancho Reyes together. Savory dried ancho flavor and heat complement the vegetal cooking herbs of the Centerbe, while the blanc vermouth provides mild sweetness.

The result is a clear light yellow/green cocktail.

History

The name is a nod to the chile liqueur's origin in historic Puebla de Zaragoza, the latter's martial victory there over the French (represented by the blanc vermouth), and the Italian tradition of Centerbe, "100 herb" liqueur.
