Disco Bloodbath

1 1⁄2 oz Gin, Malfy (Blood orange gin)
3⁄4 oz Galliano
1⁄8 oz Passion fruit puree
1⁄2 oz Blood Orange Juice (Citric acid adjusted)
1 oz Sparkling white wine (Dry)
3⁄4 oz Aperol (as float)
Instructions

Combine all ingredients but Aperol and bubbles into a shaker and shake with ice. Strain into a Collins glass filled with fresh ice, then top with dry sparkling wine. Finish by floating the aperol and garnishing with a slice of blood orange.

Notes

A Disco Aperitif bringing orange creamsicle flavors to the ever popular pornstar martini combination of vanilla, passionfruit and bubbles.
For a dryer drink, sub Campari or favorite red bitter for the aperol.

The amount of acid adjusting the blood orange juice will need depends on the base acidity of your blood oranges and passionfruit purée.

Name is a reference to the book by James St James, later adapted into the movie Party Monster.

Shawn C commented on 2/05/2023:

Very nice, savory/ancho, agave with moderate heat and only mild sweetness. Made per recipe w/ Patron Silver and Hacienda de Chihuahua Reposado Sotol, used my own pomegranate grenadine. I need to make some cocktail onions to go with this since I threw out my old bottle of unpalatably hard store bought cocktail onions--I added a pinch of salt to compensate in the drink which likely augments its savory character.

King Louie

3⁄4 oz Rye
3⁄4 oz Cognac
1 oz Bonal Gentiane Quina
1⁄2 oz Crème de Banane
2 ds Bitters, Bittermens Xocolatl Mole
1 twst Lemon peel (As garnish)
Instructions

Stir with ice, strain into a glass, and garnish with lemon oil from a twist.

History

After a recent bar shift, I was inspired to tinker with banana liqueur that I last used a few days prior in the Origami Ape with the recipe structure of the 1919 Cocktail. For a name, I dubbed this one the King Louie after the orangutan who appears in Disney's 1967 movie The Jungle Book; King Louie was not in Rudyard Kipling's book but was cast for, voiced by, and named after New Orleans singer Louis Prima. It also fit since the recipe had a New Orleans feel to it.

Big Spender

1 oz Cognac
1 oz Pineapple rum
1⁄2 oz Drambuie
1⁄2 oz Fernet Branca
1 twst Orange peel (As garnish)
Instructions

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

History

Recently, I had a guest at work who wanted a Rusty Nail, and I began thinking about Drambuie. I then recalled the delightful Brambuie-Fernet combination in the Bittered Old Coot and Bonita Applebum, and I took things in a Cognac and pineapple rum direction later that evening. For a name, the song "Big Spender" by Peggy Lee was on the sound system, and I went with it.
