Sithspit commented on 5/29/2025:

It’s nice, and there’s potential here but it’s pretty sweet. Personally, I’d scale back the amaro and liqueurs a bit to let the shochu shine a bit more.

Bungle in the Jungle

1 oz Overproof rum, Plantation O.F.T.D.
1 oz Mango Rum
1 oz CioCiaro
1 oz Lime juice
2 oz Orange juice
Instructions

Shake, serve over crushed ice in tiki mug or Collins glass. Garnish with lime wheel and an amarena cherry.

Notes

I made this with a homemade rum-based mango liqueur which is on the sweet side. Commercial mango rums may need a simple-syrup adjustment.

Que Vera Vera

2 oz Gin (London Dry Gin)
1 oz Aloe vera liqueur, Chareau
1 oz RinQuinQuin a la Peche
1 Kumquat (whole fruit)
Instructions

Stir gin, Chareau, Rinquinquin w/ ice; strain into coup. Flame the Kumquat over coupe (squeezing Kumquat into flame), then drop into glass

Notes

This is a really unusual drink, light and nearly clear with only a very light peach color. Not sweet, not dry, but with abundant hard-to-describe flavors from the aloe liqueur and the peach/wine quinquina. Overall there is some aloe, dill, melon, hints of mint with some lingering Wrigley's gum backbone/finish.

I used Hayman's London Dry Gin for its lemon peel character. I have fresh ripe Kumquat's on a small potted tree, and the fruit definitely add to the flavor, aroma and presentation.

History

This appears to be an adaptation of earlier aloe containing cocktails, but the lineage is unclear.

Found on RinQuinQuin's website at https://www.distilleries-provence.com/en/blog/que-vera-vera-n292 Appears to be an adaptation of various cocktails that employ aloe and possibly verjus.

Body Shop

1 oz Fernet Branca
1 oz Campari
1⁄2 oz Ginger-Honey Syrup
1⁄2 oz Lemon juice
1⁄8 oz Islay Scotch (As float)
Instructions

Shake with ice, strain into a rocks glass with fresh ice, and float 1/8 oz Laphroaig Scotch. The honey-ginger syrup can be made on the fly by muddling 2 small coins of ginger in 1:1 honey syrup.

Notes

Drink came about in Oaxaca and finalized at home.

History

During a bar shift in Oaxaca, I had a local bartender who said that he preferred more bitter drinks. I got creative given the limited liqueur and syrup bottles on hand. For one of the drinks, I ended up making a ginger for passion fruit riff on the Clown Car (using lime juice since we lacked lemon) that reminded me of a Ferrari crossed with a Penicillin. A few days after returning home, I recreated this flavor profile using the lemon juice that I lacked and ended up floating a smoky Scotch on top as an accent. Since the two drinks that it reminded me of were named after a car and a fix-it, I dubbed this the Body Shop.
