Lion's Share (Drink version)

2 oz Bourbon
1⁄2 oz Lemon juice
1⁄4 oz Allspice Dram
1⁄4 oz Vanilla syrup
1⁄4 oz Demerara syrup
1 ds Bitters, Angostura
Instructions

Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail coupe.

Notes

All syrups 1:1.

History

At Drink, I had a guest who wanted yet another Whiskey Sour, so I decided to improvise. I decided to start with the Lion's Tail but use lemon instead of lime. Moreover, I combined it with the concept of Don's Spices #2 of allspice dram and vanilla syrup since vanilla as well as the spice duo work great with Bourbon. For a name, I wanted to keep "Lion's" in it and ended up dubbing it the Lion's Share when I made it for myself when I got home. The vanilla ends up bringing out an aged elegance from the whiskey, and the allspice and bitters are more of an accent than a driving force here (especially with the lemon for lime swap).

  • Not too much to my nose beyond lemon oil. Rye and bitters contribute a nice array of spices, but this is also full and sweet, orange but maybe even meringue or Circus Peanut candy.

1 oz Suze
3⁄4 oz Ancho Reyes chile liqueur
3⁄4 oz Blue Curaçao
2 ds Orange bitters
Instructions

Shake with ice and strain into a frozen coupe glass.

Notes

An interesting side-note of this combination is the color: a very vivid green. I had no idea until I poured it into the glass. By combining the yellow color of the Suze with the blue curacao: the result is a beautiful Green.

Gilded Paloma

2 oz Tequila
1 oz Grapefruit juice
1 oz Pineapple juice
1⁄2 oz Lime juice
1⁄2 oz Cinnamon syrup
2 oz Soda water (In glass)
1 twst Grapefruit peel (As garnish)
Instructions

Shake (all but the soda water and grapefruit twist) with ice, strain into a Collins glass with ice and ~2 oz soda water, and garnish with a grapefruit twist.

History

One of the drinks that I serve to guests at Drink called the Gilda has become popular enough that other bartenders picked up on it and began offering it too. The Gilda was created at Death & Co. in New York and is a great combination of blanco tequila, pineapple, lime, and cinnamon, and when someone requested a drink something like a Paloma one night, I decided to mash up that classic with that delightful combination. Soon the name "Gilda Paloma" morphed into "Gilded Paloma."

  • Busy flavors, but the result is a quaffable Collins. I prefer the original paloma, but appreciate the touch of Tiki pineapple brings. The pineapple brings more to the party than the cinnamon does. It is the star ingredient here. — ★★★

Pickwick Club

2 oz Pineapple rum (I used Plantation Stiggins)
1⁄4 oz Overproof rum (I used Plantation OFTD)
1⁄4 oz Passion fruit syrup
1⁄4 oz Vanilla syrup
1⁄4 oz Allspice Dram
2 ds Bitters, Angostura
2 ds Bitters, Bittermens Xocolatl Mole
1 ds Absinthe (I used 10 drops)
1 twst Orange peel (For garnish)
Instructions

Build in a double old fashioned glass, add a big ice cube, stir to mix and chill, and garnish with orange oil from a twist.

History

A guest at Drink wanted an Old Fashioned but fruity, and I decided to take things in a tropical bend instead of going an apple brandy and grenadine direction. To a base of Plantation's pineapple rum, I sweetened things with Don's Spices #2 (vanilla syrup and allspice dram) and passion fruit syrup and used a bitters trinity of Angostura, mole, and absinthe. Since the volume was a quarter ounce shy of 3 ounces, I supplemented it with a splash of Plantation OFTD Rum to round out the mix. That guest and the two guests that I made it for later that evening enjoyed it so much that I made it for myself once I got home. For a name, I dubbed it the Pickwick Club after the social venue in the Charles Dicken's novel that inspired the rum's creation in the first place.

  • Probably a 4.5 - a little sweet for my taste using Boudier Cassis.
  • Winds up in Hanky Panky/Martinez territory. A bit of Cherry Coke on the finish.
