Interesting. Was hoping for some guidance on what pale ale to use, but opted for a Red Hook Audible Ale we had in the fridge. It's decently balanced and i can taste each and every one of the ingredients. I was worried the beer would over power the other ingredients, but it blended well. Don't know if I'd go out of my way to make it again, but it was enjoyable.

Frosun

1 1⁄2 oz Aperol (or Campari, plus)
1⁄2 oz Lime juice (frozen into a cube)
1 1⁄2 oz Gin
1⁄4 oz Lime juice
1 1⁄2 oz Tonic water (chilled)
Instructions

In advance, freeze Aperol and 1/2oz lime juice. Shake gin and 1/4oz lime juice, strain into lowball glass, add tonic, stir gently, add cube, serve with straw or spoon for imbiber to use to break up cube.

Notes

Beautiful, especially before it the cube melts much. It is the reverse of the usual cocktail -- a clear drink with a colored cube. The drink evolves nicely, and maintains a good sugar balance.

History

Created before I realized Todd Maul of Clio, Boston, MA was doing the same thing. http://www.improper.com/going-out/melt-down/. Posted on Mixoloseum's Thursday Drink Night, 6/9/2011.

  • Better in theory than in practice in my experience. Due to the alcohol content my ice didn't freeze very solid, so it clouded up the drink as soon as added. Tasty enough but not pretty.
  • Starts as a straightforward Gin and Tonic, but the bitter orange flavor evolves. Sunny and fun. — ★★★★★

Very fun and a conversation-starter for guests. Unsurprisingly delicious with gin. I made a version with mezcal and called it an Axolotl, after a Mexican salamander that exhibits neoteny (the property of only maturing if certain conditions are met, say if an ice cube warms enough to dilute a drink with Aperol).

What do you mean by lemon oil in the garnish?

bza commented on 9/02/2012:

I meant squeeze a lemon peel over the top and rub it around the rim and discard.

I haven't made this in a while, let me know if it's any good...

Curated slightly to make instructions more concise in the Kindred Cocktails style. (We assume expertise on the part of the reader, so basic instructions aren't needed.)

Dan commented on 2/24/2012:

Corrected recipe to authentic recipe as verified directly from Phil Ward. Changed St Germain from 2 oz to 1/2 and glass from up to OTR. Also, removed preferred brand of Regans' orange bitters because Phil didn't specify a brand.

Buffo Rosato

1 1⁄2 oz Rye, Redemption (high proof)
1⁄2 oz Pear eau de vie, Berkshire Mountain Distillers
1 oz Chinato, Vergano Americano
1⁄2 oz Rosato Vermouth, Martini & Rossi
1 ds Cranberry bitters, Sweetgrass Farm Cranberry
1 twst Lemon peel
Instructions

Combine fluids over ice in mixing glass, stir for 30 secs, strain into coupe, garnish with lemon twist.

Notes

Name is Italian for "rosy joke". Erik Ellestad used Vergano Americano in place of Dubonnet for his Dandy from the Savoy Cocktail book, and I took liberties with the receipt. Rye spice, fruit, bitter wormwood finish. The Pear eau de vie mellows the rye and enhances mouthfeel.

History

Flung about with wild abandon à la minute 6/4/11.

No Groaning

1 oz Gin
1 oz Zucca
1 oz Dry vermouth
Instructions

Stir, strain, rocks, low-ball

Notes

A spin on the Negroni. Zucca is plenty sweet to allow for a dry vermouth. Don't be shy about using a full bodied vermouth to stand up to the amaro. Vya works well.

Ward 8 Tiki

4 oz Orange juice
4 oz Rye, Old Overholt
1 oz Lemon juice
1 oz Orange Curaçao, Bols
1 oz Apricot liqueur, Rothman & Winter Orchard Apricot
1 spl Grenadine (to taste)
2 dr Bitters, Stirrings Blood Orange
2 sli Orange (as garnish)
2 Cherry (as garnish)
Instructions

Squeeze orange and lemon juices into shaker. Add Curacao, Apricot liqueur, Rye. and bitters. Stir and taste for sweetness. Add grenadine to taste. Shake with ice and strain into cocktail glass. Garnish with orange slice and cherry.

Notes

I often use 1 oz. Redemption and 3 oz. Old Overholt. For oranges I love Sicilian Taroccos (bought at Costcos); but they seem to be seasonally available. Same with Moro oranges. Otherwise, any juice type orange.
For Apricot Liqueur you can use Marie Brizard Apry. If so, add a little less since it's sweeter. Drink is plenty sweet already. Update 6/22- Tried this with just Bulliet; much better.

TrinSF commented on 3/01/2021:

Was making this for two and so I doubled it, not reading closely -- then I was like "8 oz rye what what?" and that's how I made an epic amount of this for two people. I might suggest editing the recipe to be for a single drink -- the "makes two" wasn't clear in the mobile app.
