Fenway Sling

1 1⁄2 oz Gold rum, Ragged Mountain (Use any Barbados-style rum you like. Using Brugal gold might please Big Papi.)
3⁄4 oz Cherry shrub (Homemade, and red for the Sox)
1⁄2 oz Bénédictine
1 ds Bitters, Bittermens Burlesque (Change up to other fruit- or spice-based bitters ad lib. or per pitcher sign)
1 spl Seltzer water
Instructions

Build over ice in highball, toss into mixing glass and back to combine, top with seltzer, give brief stir.

Notes

Varies from Baker's canonical Singapore Sling by using tart cherry shrub instead of cherry cordial and lime, though a lime wedge squeezed and pitched in like Lester would be a nice addition. Named for my 'hood in Boston, and appropriately red.

History

Swizzled in state of deep thirst à la minute 7/5/11.

Silvered Mirror

1 1⁄2 oz Gin, Hendrick's
1 oz Lime juice
1⁄2 oz Herbal liqueur, Green Chartreuse
1⁄2 oz Simple syrup
2 ds Bitters (Homemade - Forest Floor Bitters*)
1⁄4 oz Absinthe, Germain-Robin
Instructions

In a shaker, add first five ingredients over ice and shake. Strain into glass, drip absinthe into cocktail so that it louches.

Notes

Sorry about the impossible to find bitters - I made them, and they're pretty good for a first try, and yes, they taste like forest floor. Boker's is a fair substitute, but it has more coffee aroma and flavor.

1⁄4 oz Maraschino Liqueur, Luxardo
1 ds Bitters, Angostura
Instructions

Stir with ice and strain into a coupe glass.

Notes

From Food & Wines: Cocktails 2008. Blog post where I founds this says "Please note that the book has the recipe as 1/4 oz Bianco Vermouth. After mixing the drink with that amount, I discovered through the A Dash of Bitters blog that the book's recipe is incorrect and the intended volume is 3/4 oz."

History

Created by Death & Co.'s Phil Ward as a tequila-based Brooklyn variation.

A beatiful drink.
I subbed Aperol for Camapri and reduced the maraschino to a dash.
Tastes like spring

"How High the Moon" Manhattan

2 oz Rye, Bulleit
3⁄4 oz Sweet vermouth, Carpano Punt e Mes
1⁄4 oz Cherry shrub
Instructions

Combine in mixing glass over ice, stir for 30 secs, strain into coupe.

Notes

Homemade using base of 16 oz each demarara sugar, rice vinegar & cider vinegar.

Nice showcase for the Bulleit, which is wonderfully green and grassy for a rye. The cherry shrub gives sharp top notes along with cherry umami to moderate the bitter Punt e Mes.

Did your Dad ever add juice from the the jar of "maraschino" cherries to his manhattan? This cocktail mimics that but in a much more satisfactory way. If this drink evokes anything, perhaps it would be the guileless cocktail culture of the 50's when my Dad learned to mix drinks.

History

As this was being fused into being à la minute 6/25/11, "How High the Moon" by Les Paul and Mary Ford came onto the iPod. To me it was a happy coincidence.

tanstaafl2 commented on 3/05/2016:

I find the El Presidente described by David Wondrich in Imbibe back in 2011 to be superior. The biggest change is the use of Dolin Blanc vermouth instead of dry vermouth. 1.5 rich white rum, 1.5 Dolin Blanc vermouth, 1 barspoon orange curacao (or Grand Marnier), 0.5 barspoon of real grenadine (not Roses!), thinly cut orange peel, Stir over cracked ice and express orange peel and drop or discard as preferred, Garnish if desired with maraschino cherry.

Tried 2 oz Barbancourt blanc, 1 oz Dolin blanc, 1 tsp Curaçao, 1 tsp Grenadine, 2 ds orange bitters. Judgement reserved...
