THE GUILLOTINE

- 1 oz Cynar
- ½ oz dry vermouth
- 1½ oz mezcal

Stir // Strain // Garnish: none

Negroni riff territory: bold, bitter, and perfectly balanced. Created by Yanni Kehagiaras from Stoa in San Francisco, a bar where no cocktails have more than 4 ingredients. Seen on IG jfdesfosses channel.

BUZZED BENEATH THE WAVES

- 1 oz lime juice
- ¾ oz orgeat
- ½ oz Cynar 70
- ¾ oz Amaro Averna amaro
- 1 oz rye
- 1 oz overproof Pot Still Lightly Aged Rum ❶

Shake // Open pour // Garnish: grated nutmeg

A bit more bitter for those die-hard Jungle Bird fans. After preparing as directed, snapping the pic, and finally starting to sip I found it way too potent to be over a rock. I'd recommend an open pour over crushed ice. Originally seen on IG onesipclub.

NIGHT NURSE

- 1 oz Jamaican Blended Aged Rum ❸
- 1 oz Punt e Mes
- ¾ oz Campari
- ½ oz overproof Pot Still Lightly Aged Rum ❶
- ¼ oz Cynar
- 1 tsp banana liqueur
- 1 tsp coffee liqueur

Stir // Strain // Garnish: orange peel

When I first saw this list of ingredients I thought it sounded too complicated, but it really was a nice combo. I went for my best bottle of Hampden, the 2010 LROK expression, combined with the classic OP Jamaican pot still Smith & Cross.

The rums get elevated by the banana liqueur which brings out their funk, while the three amari and coffee liqueur form a four-layer wall of bitter that reins it back in to a place of balance. The Punt e Mes brings a hint of vermouth and that orange peel oil lands you pretty close to a rum Negroni.

PALM SUNDAY

- ½ oz dry vermouth
- ½ oz Suze
- ½ oz Aperol
- 1½ oz gin

Stir // Strain // Garnish: grapefruit twist

Found from IG fredericyarm and he credits Brandon Bramhall at Nashville's Attaboy circa 2017. Lovely sip with all the acidity and sugar coming from alcoholic ingredients, but without too much base it's not overly boozy.

EL BARRIO

⅓ oz Punt e Mes
⅓ oz Campari
⅓ oz mezcal
¾ oz coffee liqueur
1 oz Tequila añejo

Stir // Strain // Express // Garnish: orange peel

This one is a dark, moody stir for a quiet evening. First impression is full of coffee with the cooked agave punching through, but slowly gives way to the amari as you sip: orange peel, cola, with just a touch of smokiness from the mezcal.

This cocktail was created by Paul Hammond and Priscilla Leong, sourced from The Madrusan Cocktail Companion book. I have been working on my citrus peel garnishes, can you tell?

Tonight’s beverage: Brucato Amaro Woodlands, their darkest offering. Rich, figgy, sweet but still bitter, with cacao and a hint of elderberry. #cocktails #amaro @LilPecan @JamesK

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.
