Dark Entries

1 oz Mezcal
1 oz Rhum Agricole
1⁄2 oz Amaro, Cappelletti Sfumato Rabarbaro (Zucca or other Rabarbaro will work)
1⁄2 oz Aperol
Instructions

Stir with ice and strain into a cocktail coupe. Garnish with a Bauhaus song medley or nothing at all.

History

I continued on my rabarbaro recipe quest and decided to riff on the Knife to a Gun Fight. I took the Sfumato-Aperol combination and placed it as support to the mezcal-agricole split base that I have used a bit. After I posted my second pass at the drink on Instagram, Jake Parrott of Haus Alpenz (distributor of Sfumato) chimed in with "50:50 rabarbaro and red bitter is a classic café drink in the Veneto – one of many drinks in Italy to get the moniker 'mezzo-mezzo'." For a name, the roast and smoke notes pushed me towards Dark Entries after the 1980 single by Bauhaus.

MonkeyMan commented on 6/19/2025:

Really like this drink. I tried with a less smokier Mezcal first but then went 1.5 Vida with In the Flat Field. Good pairing.

Campo Viejo

1 1⁄2 oz Rye (Rittenhouse Bonded preferably)
1⁄2 oz Mezcal
1⁄2 oz Fernet Branca
1⁄2 oz Bénédictine
1 ds Bitters, Angostura
1 ds Bitters, Bittermens Xocolatl Mole
Instructions

Stir with ice and strain into an old fashioned glass with a large cube.

History

After I got home from Drink (Boston) where I made a guest an Oldfield (a link to that drink in the source reference below), I began thinking of that combination of rye, Fernet, Benedictine, and Angostura. I took it in the direction of the Last American Hero (another drink that I made that night) by splitting the base 3:1 with the minor part mezcal and adding chocolate bitters. For a name, I riffed on the Oldfield and dubbed it the Campo Viejo (translation of "old field" in Spanish).
