Shake with ice and strain into a frozen coupe glass.
The 22 November Soiree approaches, cocktail ideas continue.
Shake briefly with ice. Serve with a lemon twist.
Not set on which cognac
Falls flat, to me - the sour and sweet is balanced but there's not much else there.
Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail coupe.
One of the recipes that I make for Scotch-citrus requests at Drink (Boston) is the Modernista recipe provided by Ted Haigh in his seminal Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails book. I took a page from the Havana Cocktail as adapted in Jeff Masson and Greg Boehm's Big Bartender's Book and added in apricot liqueur in place of the orange bitters in Haigh's recipe. For a name, I dubbed this one Havana 3 A.M. after the mid-80s rock group which took its name from a 1956 album by Pérez Prado.
Stir with ice, strain into an Herbsaint (or absinthe) rinsed double old fashioned glass, and garnish with lemon oil from a twist.
I was inspired to tinker again with Phil Ward's Lipspin with its Cynar-sloe gin combination that previously led to my Perverted by Language. Here, I utilized a split rye-mezcal base and took things in a Sazerac direction. While crafting this number, a song from Leonard Cohen's Various Positions album was playing, and that ended up being the name.
Stir; strain; rock; garnish.
Black tea syrup: Stir equal parts caster sugar and strong cold-brewed black tea until dissolved.
Shake, double strain, double rocks, fresh ice, grapefruit peel.
I don't usually have good quality fresh grapefruit juice on hand, so I sub with 1/4 oz Giffard Pamplemousse Rose and 1 dash Fee's Grapefruit bitters, which works just as well in this cocktail. In a pinch, dab grapefruit essential oil on the pith side of a lemon peel for garnish.
Shake, double strain, fresh ice, double rocks. Spritz or float green chartreuse. Garnish with three Albanese brand gummy bears on a cocktail pick.
This drink needs a little more dilution than typical, so shake a few extra seconds.
*African nectar tea syrup: brew 3 Tbsp loose “Mighty Leaf Organic African Nectar” tea (fruity, floral, rooibos) in 9 oz boiling water: add 1 Tbsp at 0 minutes, 1 Tbsp at 3 minutes, and 1 Tbsp at 5 minutes. Strain at 7 minutes. (Adding the tea incrementally preserves more of the tea's floral and fruity properties.) Dissolve 1 cup white sugar. Cool. Add 1/2 oz everclear or a pinch of citric acid as preservative. Lasts several weeks in the fridge. Freeze for extended periods of time.

Inspired by the song "Rang Tang Tang" in the movie "Stormy Weather" (1943).
Dig a simply ratioed cocktail but this one lacks balance.
