CENTURY CITY

¾ oz chili liqueur
¾ oz red vermouth
1 oz mezcal espadín
1 oz cognac
2 dashes orange bitters

Method: Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass a stir. Strain into chilled coupe. No garnish.

A fun Manhattan riff apparently named after a bar in LA. First seen on The Educated Barfly IG channel.

RYE-PA

½ oz lemon juice
½ oz orgeat
1½ oz rye whiskey
2 dashes Angostura bitters
3 oz New England IPA

Glassware: Double old-fashioned
Method: Combine lemon, orgeat, rye, and bitters in a shaker with ice and shake. Add the beer directly to the serving glass, then open pour the shaker into the glass. Garnish with mint.

An original by servedbysoberon on IG, but I've modified it to be more beer-forward by downplaying the sweet/sour a bit. The beer is called Frida, a #NEIPA by local brewer Braukollektiv in #Freiburg. Great summer smasher!

CHOCOLATE STOUT OLD FASHIONED

3 dashes walnut bitters
½ oz chocolate stout syrup
2 oz Black Blended Rum ❺

Glassware: Old-fashioned
Method: Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass with cracked ice and stir. Strain over a large rock with no garnish.

This is my twist on the original from High Proof Preacher on IG a few days ago. I started out with Sazerac rye (in bg of second pic), but ultimately I settled on a totally different base spirit, black blended rum (pouring pic), since it has toasty dark notes that complement the beer so well. I also did some black walnut bitters, trying to lean away from your typical orange vibe in an OF.

For my stout syrup I used Northern Monk Patrons Projects 43.02 — Dunked Chocolate Digestive Decadent Stout.

TRIDENT

1 oz Cynar
1 oz Fino sherry
1 oz aquavit
2 dashes bitters

Garnish: lemon twist
Method: Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass and stir. Strain into a chilled coupe. Express lemon peel and use as garnish.

Follows the Negroni template, but is really out there. The recipe calls for peach bitters but the best I have is Havana Club Island Fruit, and it worked really well too.

ANGOSTURA COLADA

1 oz lime juice
1½ oz pineapple juice
1½ oz coconut cream
1½ oz Angostura bitters
½ oz Pot Still Lightly Aged Rum ❶

Garnish: grated nutmeg, pineapple frond
Method: Combine all ingredients in a mixing tin with crushed ice and blend. A shaker with crushed ice will also do. Open pour with gated finish into glass and garnish.

I always like drinks with bitters as a base spirit. They're bound to be bold and interesting! This one is tempered by coconut and pineapple, with a little bit of pot still rum to give it that Daq vibe. Hoping to see weather like this again soon!

THREE DOTS AND A DASH

½ oz lime juice
½ oz orange juice
½ oz honey syrup
¼ oz falernum
¼ oz allspice dram
1½ oz Rhum Agricole Vieux ❽
½ oz Blended Aged Rum ❸
1 dash Angostura bitters

Garnish: three maraschino cherries, pineapple chunk
Method: Add all the ingredients to a drink mixer tin. Fill with 12 oz crushed ice and 4-6 agitator cubes. Flash blend and open pour with a gated finish into a footed pilsner glass. If you don't have a drink blender (I don't) then shaking obviously does the trick.

For the garnish use one spear for three maraschino cherries and the pineapple chunk. Place horizontally on the rim of the glass. It represents V for victory in Morse code •••—

This drink is a certified tiki classic from Don the Beachcomber during WWII, later decoded by Jeff Beachbum Berry, and republished in the Smuggler's Cove book, page 43.

OJEN COCKTAIL

3 dashes Peychauds bitters
¼ oz (optional) orgeat
2 oz Ojen anise liqueur

Garnish: Peychauds float
Method: Fill a chilled double old fashioned glass halfway with crushed ice, add the anise liqueur, optional orgeat, the initial dashes of Peychauds, and swizzle. Add more crushed ice and swizzle again. Finally, top with additional crushed ice until it is higher than the glass, and float the Peychauds bitters on top.

🔗 https://potentpotables.app/drinks/ojen-cocktail/

This one was inspired by @SonicAlligator@gram.social who recently posted a top-down photo of a negroni. The spec actually calls for crushed ice, but the large rock plus Peychauds float is still a really pretty effect IMO. It definitely needs crushed ice and a good swizzle to taste like the spec intends though. The spec comes from the book Cure: New Orleans drinks and how to mix 'em, page 51.

PANORAMA

2 dashes chocolate bitters
¼ oz maple syrup
½ oz Amaro Averna
¾ oz mezcal espadín
¾ oz Black Blended Rum ❺
¾ oz overproof Pot Still Lightly Aged Rum ❶

Garnish: orange peel
Method: Build in glass, stirring with the rock. Garnish with an orange twist.

Stirring my way through the cold weather. I found it hard to pick out the base spirits. Rather, they intensified the bitters and amaro bringing out strong spicy flavors balanced out nicely by the syrup. I found this one on IG chips_classic_cocktails.

SAZERAC

rinse glass with absinthe
3 dashes Peychauds bitters
¼ oz demerara syrup
2 oz Sazerac rye

Garnish: lemon peel
Method: Use an atomizer to rinse your serving glass with absinthe. Combine the remaining ingredients in a stirring glass with ice and stir. Strain into the glass, express lemon peel, and use as garnish.

Another boozy stir for a cold winter night. This version of the legendary cocktail comes from the book Cure: New Orleans drinks and how to mix 'em, page 29. I finally found an affordable bottle of Sazerac in Germany and thought the titular cocktail was the logical test pilot. For the photo I also tested a new lighting setup. Not 100% happy with it, but you gotta start somewhere.

HUMBUG OLD FASHIONED

2 dashes Angostura bitters
2 barspoons humbug spices
1 barspoon maple syrup
1 oz apple brandy
1 oz rye

Garnish: orange peel
Method: Combine all ingredients with ice in a stirring glass and stir. Strain over a large rock, express orange peel, and garnish.

I saw this original from @CityzenWhit@c.im and knew I had to stir it up pronto! It uses a fun combo ingredient called Humbug Spices from Brian "shakerofspirits" Maxwell (see link for recipe). A delicious sipper!

SIDE CARAJILLO

1 oz cold brew coffee
1 oz dry curaçao
1 oz Licor 43
float Angostura bitters

Garnish: orange peel oil
Method: Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice and shake hard. Strain over a big rock, float some drops of bitters, express the orange peel and discard. Take a toothpick and swirl through the bitters drops.

First seen on @anatomyofadrink@threads.net channel, it's a mix between a Side Car and a Carajillo. A fun brunch drink or maybe an afternoon pick me up.

Dracula's Nightcap

½ oz lemon juice
¼ oz simple syrup
½ oz red beet juice
¾ oz tawny port
1½ oz mezcal reposado
2 dashes Angostura bitters

Garnish: salt rim
Method: Salt the coupe with black salt. Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass and stir with ice. Double strain into coupe.

An original of mine. I consider it a margarita riff and got inspired by the carrot-based Power Up Technique (look through my profile). It's very earthy, which pairs well with the mezcal. Plus, the color makes it perfect for Halloween!

Pupule -aka- Nui Nui

¾ oz lime juice
¾ oz orange juice
¼ oz cinnamon syrup
¼ oz vanilla syrup
¼ oz allspice dram
2 oz Column Still Aged Rum ❹
1 dash Angostura bitters

Garnish: mint sprig, swizzle stick
Method: Line a footed pilsner glass with the orange peel, one end hanging over the rim of the glass. Add the remaining ingredients to a drink mixer tin. Fill with 12 oz crushed ice and 4 to 6 agitator cubes. Flash blend and open pour with gated finish into the glass. Garnish.

I love this one in the fall season. Up front it looks like a summer sipper, but all those spices from the syrups and bitters really give it an autumn vibe. This spec comes from Smuggler's Cove book (page 39), which adapted the Beachbum Berry's best guess of the original from Donn Beach.

“A common story that I’ve been told by locals is that the #recipe is held by only five individuals at any time – one of whom is always the English #monarch – and that all five must agree to when #Bitters are made, thereby limiting over-production. Another story is that each of the five only have a portion of the recipe and that they must come together in order to produce Bitters, and that ingredients for #AngosturaBitters arrive in #Trinidad in unmarked containers, loaded onto unmarked trucks bound for the plant.” — Ramin Ganeshram

Last Letter

2 dashes mole bitters
½ oz Drambuie
½ oz Amaro Averna
2 oz Tequila reposado

Garnish: lemon twist
Method: Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass with ice and stir. Strain over a big rock, express lemon peel, and garnish.

With fall settling in I'm often looking for more booze-forward cocktails to warm the soul in the evening. Despite the name, this one reads like a tequila old-fashioned (not a Last Word riff). I found this one from @stephane.foisy.186@instagram.com
who sourced it from Drink & Tell: A Boston Cocktail Book.
