Went with a Black Manhattan on NYE
2oz rye (Wild Turkey 101)
1oz Amaro (Averna)
2 dashes black walnut bitters
Boozy, and great on a cold night.
Stir, and serve up.

No posts since New Years… was making some mimosas for family for Easter brunch, but have half of a bottle of champagne left that will otherwise go to waste. French 75 time for me.

How to you prepare? Shaken, strained?
Think I can substitute St. George Green Chile vodka for Ancho Reyes?

I don't know this particular cocktail, but in general recipes with juices are the ones that get shaken. Looks to me that this is a stir...

Much respect to your cocktail game. Always something interesting! Does pinoit noir and white runtz (strain) count as a cocktail?
Dan Lambskin
Footballguy
Yeah I am a huge fan but a lot of times I just don’t feel like making them. Have a few different books and I know enough basics of flavor profiles to make some stuff up
Love ordering when I am out too, especially when I visit traverse city their cocktail game is pretty strong

Just made this from Death and Co
Flor de Jerez

- ▢ 3/4 ounce lemon juice
- ▢ 1/2 ounce cane sugar syrup (used simple)

Crimson Sunset
The "Crimson Sunset" is a refreshing and slightly tart cocktail with a beautiful red hue, making it a visually appealing and delicious drink. The combination of gin, rose vermouth, pomegranate, and citrus creates a balanced flavor profile that is both sophisticated and approachable.

I rarely make or consume cocktails but we're in blackberry season here and I've been picking them out behind my office the last two weeks. Wife sent me a TikTok of a dude making blackberry mojitos and now I have plans for the weekend!!!!

I had a really good mojito variation with kumquats once.

Those aren't very easy to find, but my wife and one of my twins LOVE them. However, the elementary school our kids attend (and where my wife teaches) is Title 1, so they get loads of free fruits and veggies during the year. Every so often, they come home with kumquats and you'd think they hit lottery. Nobody else knows what they are, so they get left behind.

Thanks Maurile. For the vermouth, how similar is that to a regular sweet vermouth?

Campari is a tough sell to folks - I usually go 1:1:.75 so it’s not as bitter. I enjoy the drink but my American sweet palate can’t handle the bitter aftertaste.
I've never thought of the American palette as that. IPAs are hugely popular in America.
In the same way, I like Campari a lot. And it doesn't seem tough to sell Negroni's. They too are hugely popular.
I make more Boulevardier's but I make them more spirt forward with 2:1:1 Bourbon/Vermouth/Campari.

Compared to the Italian palate I think Americans drink much sweeter drinks. But that’s a good point about IPAs. Maybe it’s my circle of folks but Negronis and Campari is not a big favorite.
Yzaguirre Rose Vermouth is lighter and more floral, less sweet, than regular sweet vermouth, with different herbs and botanicals and therefore a different aromatic profile. Swapping out Yzaguirre Rose Vermouth for regular sweet vermouth would alter the cocktail's color, flavor complexity, sweetness balance, aromatics, and overall cohesion. Whether the result would be better or worse probably depends on individual tastes.

Rye Me to the Moon
Shamelessly stolen from a restaurant we were at this week for my buddy’s 50th birthday. Tried to recreate it with decent success - delicious cocktail that you can tweak easily to your preferred sweetness.
Almost as good as the other night! I had to guess at the ratios and I think I went too high with the syrup so it’s sweeter than I’d like.
2oz Rye
.5oz Amaro Nonino
.5oz Clove syrup
I’d got .25oz syrup and maybe bump the rye up to 2.25oz. Really, really good cocktail.

The discussion with Joe about Campari got me to have a Negroni and Boulevardier recently and then last night did a Boulevardier riff - a Left Hand. Basically a Boulevardier with chocolate bitters. A Boulevardier is more palatable to folks I know due to the added Bourbon sweetness but I still think a Negroni is better.

Finished up my bottle of green chartreuse, and not able to find it anywhere near me because of the shortage. Genepy the best substitute?

I made this for Ecuador during the World Cup and thought it was delicious. You can easily put any rum (or bourbon) in it.
Ecuadorian Canelazo Is Like a South American Hot Toddy
Canelazo is a spiced fruit drink that is spiked with aguardiente or rum and served hot. It's a favorite in Ecuador, especially around Christmas.www.thespruceeats.com
Hot Toddy, Irish coffee and hot buttered rum are all good options too.
Bump- - gonna make some Canelazo today and tomorrow!

Palpable Apathy (Braulio Boulevardier Cocktail) Recipe
Mixed with rye and sweet vermouth, Braulio adds richness and a distinctive herbal, almost menthol-like character to this drink. If you're a fan of whiskey and you like fernet, you'll love this cocktail.
