San Serif

2 oz Rye
1⁄2 oz Aperol
1⁄2 oz Elderflower liqueur, St. Germain
1⁄4 oz Lemon juice
1 oz Lemon zest (expressed)
Instructions

Lemon zest, Stir, Rocks, Lowball

Notes

Very sweet; unbalanced. Added lemon and zest. Helped a lot. Tried some dry vermouth, but that seemed like the wrong direction. Based upon dfan's "san serif" drink, renamed Bauhaus.

Zachary Pearson commented on 1/22/2012:

The proportions are right - the Savoy calls for 1 wineglass (=2 oz) "Mixed" vermouth and 1 pony (=1 oz) rye whiskey, along with 2 dashes of Maraschino (or curacao) and 3 dashes Angostura. Jerry Thomas omits the "Mixed" from the vermouth (weirdly enough, it doesn't specify sweet or dry), and calls for "bitters".

Ooh loved this! Had to do a 1:1 mixture of dry and blanc Dolin as it was all I had. One dash Fee brothers whiskey barrel bitters, 2 dashes Fee orange bitters. One Maraschino cherry, "if preferred v sweet add some maraschino cherry goo" ;-) YUM!

1 1⁄2 oz Gin, Plymouth
3⁄4 oz Aromatized wine, Lillet Blanc
1⁄4 oz Elderflower liqueur, St. Germain

Notes

For someone who wants a somewhat sweet cocktail. Take care to just just a rinse of absinthe, lest it overpower the other flavors.

  • Disappointing. Rather sweet and uninteresting. The flavors are subtle enough that the Absinthe rinse overshadows the other flavors. Tried adding acid (1/4 oz lemon). Didn't help much. Added 3/4 oz Campari, and it was improved — ★★
