Death on the Installment Plan

1 1⁄2 oz Rye (Preferably something akin to Rittenhouse)
1⁄2 oz Mezcal
1⁄2 oz Bénédictine
1⁄2 oz Cynar
1 rinse Apricot liqueur
Instructions

Stir with ice and strain into an old fashioned glass pre-rinsed with apricot liqueur.

History

Recently, I had been thinking about the Benedictine-Cynar combination that I last tried out in a coworker's recipe at Drink and I wanted to expand on that. I opted for a 3:1 split base of Rittenhouse Rye to mezcal that I learned from several Death & Co. recipes. As a final touch, I added in the apricot rinse "bell-ringer" that was the signature move of James Maloney, for I have been making a few drinks from his 1900 The Twentieth-Century Cocktail Guide for Mixing Fancy Drinks at work including the Martinez Bell-Ringer. The combination of Cynar and apricot has been a delight in several drinks, so that was on my mind. The Benedictine and apricot one was less on my mind despite it working well elsewhere. For a name, I dubbed this the Death on the Installment Plan after Louis-Ferdinand Celine's 1936 book. I had bought the book in the late 1990s but never read it for I got stuck reading his earlier Journey to the End of the Night and had to put it down to avoid the effects which that level of nihilism had on me as I was trying to wrap up my graduate studies.

2 oz Bourbon

2 bsp Orange marmalade
1 rinse Absinthe
Instructions

Shake bourbon, lime juice, & orange marmalade. Rinse coupe glass with absinthe and strain.

History

A riff on Sasha Petraske's Cosmonaut. The name is a reference both to the absinthe and that I wanted to find a unique way to pair the lime juice and bourbon, since that's an uncommon combination in sours.

Hope is a Waking Dream

1 1⁄2 oz Gin
3⁄4 oz Dry vermouth
1⁄2 oz Cynar
1⁄4 oz Grenadine
2 ds Bitters, Angostura
1 twst Lemon peel (As garnish)
Instructions

Stir with ice, strain into a cocktail coupe, and garnish with a lemon twist.

History

At Drink in Boston one night, I made the Giuseppe's Lady (gin, Cynar, grenadine, lime, Angostura) for a guest who wanted gin, citrus, and bitter. When I got home, I was inspired to take those flavors in a Martini riff akin to an embittered Atta Boy from The Savoy Cocktail Book such as what was what was done in the Atta Girl with Fernet. For a name, I had still been thinking about my Lyft driver moments before who was talking to me about Aristotle that began with the theory on the three kinds of friendship: friendships of pleasure, of utility, and of virtue. Therefore, I dubbed this one Hope is a Waking Dream after one of Aristotle's sayings.

Cask of Amontillado

3⁄4 oz Amontillado Sherry
3⁄4 oz Vodka
3⁄4 oz Gran Classico
3⁄4 oz Sweet vermouth, Carpano Antica Formula
2 ds Orange bitters, Regans' orange bitters
1 twst Lemon peel (expressed and discarded)
Instructions

Add ingredients to mixing glass, add ice, stir. Strain into chilled cocktail glass (Nick & Nora), express oils from lemon peel over top and discard peel.

Notes

Amontillado has a nuttiness that works well with Gran Classico and Carpano, but the combination can end up sweet and intense. Adding vodka to create an equal parts cocktail provides the right dilution of flavor and sweetness while maintaining the alcohol strength.
