PURITAN

- 1 dash orange bitters
- ⅓ oz Yellow Chartreuse
- 1 oz dry vermouth
- 2 oz gin

Stir // Strain // Garnish: lemon twist

A simple boozy stir for that gin lover in your life. The Chartreuse and vermouth combine beautifully with gin aromatics.

CAFÉ ANGO

- ½ oz Angostura bitters
- ½ oz Licor 43
- ½ oz Ancho Reyes chili liqueur
- 2 oz fresh brewed espresso

Shake // Double strain // Garnish: coffee beans

An interesting espresso martini riff with Angostura bitters as the "base" even though it's not a huge slug like some other cocktails. Also in proportion is a lack of sugar syrup, with the two liqueurs providing all the sweetness. The chili liqueur shows up at the end leaving a pleasant warmth on your palate.

The choice of espresso bean makes a huge difference in this one, and at the moment I had a darker roast that my partner prefers in the grinder which I felt made the drink too bitter overall. I'll probably try this one again with a lighter roast (what I prefer drinking anyway).

OLD FASHIONED

- 2 dashes bitters
- ¼ oz demerara syrup
- 2 oz bourbon

Stir // Strain // Garnish: orange peel

Back to the basics. I never had a plain old fashioned pic that I took; it was always some modified riff. I recently found a company in town that does custom-cut clear ice and after getting my first order thought I should keep everything simple to show it off: spec, glass, ice cube.

SHUDDERS IN A WHISPER

¾ oz lime juice
½ oz passion fruit syrup
½ oz pear liqueur
¼ oz Drambuie
2 oz seltzer
2 oz Column Still Aged Rum ❹
2 dashes Peychauds bitters
1 dash Angostura bitters

Flash blend // Open pour // Garnish: mint sprig, edible orchid

It's really getting cold here, so my solution is to flash blend drinks and pretend I'm somewhere tropical 😎 This one comes from the Smuggler's Cove book, page 118. I made it because I was trying to use pear liqueur, and it really blends nicely with the Drambuie, with the rum playing second fiddle.

And how about that glass bamboo straw?? I just got a new set from Surfside Sips, and they're next-level quality. I can't recommend them enough, and you'd be supporting a small self-owned business! Non-spon, I'm just a happy customer like you will be: https://www.surfsidesips.com/

Youngblood OF

2 dashes bitters
¼ oz creme de cacao
¼ oz banana liqueur
2 oz cognac
4 drops saline solution

Stir // Strain // Garnish: lemon peel

I was in San Diego last year and visited Youngblood, a speakeasy inside a speakeasy... they know how to be hip in SD! Anyway, at the time they had no menu; the bartender would just get your vibe for each of three rounds. This was my "boozy" round 2, where I gave him a prompt of cognac. Second pic is the original that I drank at the bar.

CANEBRAKE

1 dash Angostura bitters
¾ oz Amaro Montenegro
¾ oz Yellow Chartreuse
1½ oz apple brandy

Stir // Strain // Garnish: lemon twist

Still loving the boozy stirred ones as fall continues falling. Saw this one early in the season from IG mixocutor and really dug it: notes of honey, cola, apple, and vanilla with just a touch of spice.

APPLE OF

2 dashes Bitter Truth Jerry Thomas bitters
2 dashes walnut bitters
⅓ oz spiced apple liqueur
1 oz apple brandy
1 oz rye

Stir // Strain // Garnish: apple slice

A friend gifted me some homemade spiced apple liqueur a couple years back. Come fall I always reach for it to spark some joy as autumn ripens. As I sipped I got notes of apple, cola, baking spices, and with a 45% rye a little longer-lasting warmth from the alcohol.
