Instructions

Add ingredients in a shaker over ice. Shake, double strain into a coupe. Garnish with a thin lime slice

I wll sub in 1/4 to 1/2 oz green Chartreuse for the Elixir Vegetal once I replenish my stock. I think Bulleit's Rye would be awesome here as well.

  • Quite sweet as-spec'd (I used 3/4 oz Liber & Co Pineapple Gum Syrup, so OP's homemade version may have been less sweet). Also used 1/2 oz green Chartreuse, which may have contributed to the sweetness. Added: 3/4 oz lime juice (total), another 1 oz rum, and 0.5 oz Amaro Nonino (I thought it could use a slightly bitter element)...and was *very* good...but makes closer to 2 drinks, at this point ;) Served over a large cube instead of up, with an additional spritz of absinthe. Lovely! — ★★★★
  • Very good, though for my money the pineapple/charteuse works less well here than it does with tequila
  • Made with 1/2 oz. green chartreuse. Intended to cut the pineapple syrup to 3/4 oz. and forgot, and should have--mine turned out too sweet. Fascinating flavors
  • I used 1/2 oz Green Chartreuse & 3/4 oz pineapple syrup per the comments. I thought that the way the Chartreuse played with the absinthe was surprisingly lovely. — ★★★★★

Zachary Pearson commented on 6/17/2011:

Second go round - I updated the rye to Bulleit - it has a strong, piney/minty greenness that works with this cocktail. This smells rather cute and tropical. The lime and pineapple dominates. On the palate, though, this is fairly firm, with definite notes of the rye, mint, and licorice on a sweet-and-sour frame. The finish is where this shines, with the absinthe and Chartreuse working in harmony to develop minty-spicy flavors that linger.

Zachary Pearson commented on 6/27/2011:

OK, I replenished my green Chartreuse, and made this with it. I would strongly recommend dropping the pineapple to 3/4 oz and using 1/2 oz of Chartreuse if you're going that way. I know EV is hard to find, but it's worth it.

Just mixed one with Rittenhouse, 3/4 oz syrup, 1/2 oz green Chartreuse, 1 tsp Herbsaint. Really nice. Very sweet, but I like sweet. I will also give it five stars.

cswasey commented on 7/26/2013:

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?

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.)

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.
