ELOTE MEZCAL OF

- 2 dashes bitters
- 2 drops saline solution
- ¼ oz Ancho Reyes chili liqueur
- ¾ oz Nixta Licor de Elote
- 1½ oz mezcal

Stir // Strain // Garnish: orange twist

Last week @[email protected] was whipping up some mezcal cocktails and inspired me. This one was delish! I agree with his modifications from the source: no agave syrup needed and I simplified the build by using Ancho Reyes instead of infusing the mezcal. My mezcal is slightly overproof at 46% which helped it stand up to the other sweet ingredients. Cheers!

THE LIBERAL

- ¾ oz sweet vermouth
- ¼ oz Amer Picon
- ¾ oz bourbon

Stir // strain // garnish: maraschino cherry

I went to France a month ago, saw the Amer Picon at the grocery store, and thought why not? When I got back from the trip, I coincidentally saw this from @[email protected] and had to try it. The spec pours small, but be careful because you'll gulp this one down!

THE SEXPERT

- ½ oz lemon juice
- ½ oz SC passion fruit syrup
- ½ oz John D Taylor's Velvet falernum
- 1½ oz Peruvian pisco
- ½ oz gin
- 1 dash bitters

Been on my reshake list forever since it’s sourced from Smuggler’s Cove, the book that really got me into home bar. Lovely pour, great for sipping on a warm summer evening.

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.

MUNDO PERDIDO

- ¾ oz lemon juice
- ¼ oz cinnamon syrup
- ¼ oz demerara syrup
- ½ oz apple brandy
- 1½ oz Black Blended Rum ❺

Shake // Double strain // Garnish: none

Spanish for "Lost World" this is a Jeff Beachbum Berry original made for Smuggler's Cove in San Francisco. IMO a bit tame concoction, but a nice starter for someone new to tiki. Sourced from the book Smuggler's Cove, page 93

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).

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.
