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!

CARNAGHINO

½ oz pistachio liqueur
½ oz chocolate liqueur
1½ oz cognac

Garnish: chocolate powder
Method: Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice and shake. Double strain into a small glass and dust with chocolate powder as garnish.

A rich and creamy dessert cocktail, this one is hard not to gulp down! Spec is on Difford's Guide, created by Gabriele Carnaghi.

CENTER OF THE GALAXY

½ oz lime juice
½ oz demerara syrup
½ oz honey syrup
½ oz raspberry liqueur
2 oz Blended Aged Rum ❸
pinch of grated cinnamon

Garnish: raspberries, lime wheel
Method: Combine all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker filled with cracked or cubed ice. Shake and double-strain into a chilled coupe. Float a lime wheel in the center of the drink and rest a raspberry in the center.

Named after an ester discovered in a dust ball scanned by the Max Planck Institute of Radio Astronomy in 2009, which smells of rum and gives raspberries their taste! Spec is by Martin Cate, Smuggler's Cove p121.

Tonight's #aperitivo #aperitif is someting from the pre WWI era, a #polibibita from the #futuristi gang: il Decisone (the bici choice)

50ml Barolo Chinato
25ml tangerine juice
25ml amber rhum agricole

Shake&fineStrain in a chilled coupe and garnish with a tangerine twist.

I think this one is the only good thing made by the Futuristi movement in Italy (year, also some good paintings and sculpture, but from the political point of view...)

Tonight's #aperitivo #aperitif is from Difford's Guide, the Grand Elixir!

45ml Cachaça
22.5ml Yellow Chartreuse (or génépy liqueur)
15ml Honey syrup (3 honey to 1 water)
15ml Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

I've added 15ml of water per drink, upped the dose for two drinks, bottled the mix and store in freezer for a couple of hours.
The I pour myself a good coupe and garnish with a lemon twist.

It is a really good one, sweet but not too much, easily quaffable.

Tonight's #aperitivo #aperitif is the #Alberto (something I've already posted, IIRC):
30ml gin;
30ml Cocchi Americano (or Luxardo Bitter Bianco);
30ml fino or manzanilla sherry;

Stirr&Strain in a chilled coupe without garnish.

It's a really good, salty, twist of both #Martini and #Negroni, highly recommended!

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.

JUNGLE BIRD

2 oz pineapple juice
½ oz lime juice
½ oz demerara syrup
¾ oz Campari
1½ oz Black Blended Rum ❺

Garnish: pineapple frond
Method: Add all the ingredients to a drink mixer tin. Fill with 4-6 agitator cubes. Flash blend and pour with gated finish into a Collins or highball glass and add garnish.

No cocktail feed is complete without one of the titans of tiki, the Jungle Bird! Always a crowd pleaser with its bitter-but-sweet balance, and a garnish sure to turn heads as it gets placed in front of you. This spec comes from Smuggler's Cove, page 96.

SIESTA

¾ oz lime juice
½ oz grapefruit juice
¾ oz simple syrup
¼ oz Campari
1½ oz Tequila blanco

Garnish: lime wheel
Method: Combine all ingredients in a shaker with 12 ounces crushed ice, shake, and double-strain into a coupe glass. Garnish by placing lime wheel on the rim of the glass.

A delicious spin on the Hemingway Daquiri. I'm always down for a tequila sub! Easy going down so watch out ;) Found on IG subtletiki channel.

Tonight's #aperitivo #aperitif is a vatiation of the #freezermartini (dose for two Martinis):

150ml high proof gin
60ml Cap Corse grande reserve quinquina blanc
60ml still water
4 dashes of olive bitter

Bottle everything and let it freeze overnight along with two coupes.
This cocktail doesn't need any warm up before serving because of the highest proof of gin.
Delicious!
This is the first drink in three weeks!

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.

CHIRULIN

¼ oz lime juice
½ oz cinnamon syrup
1½ oz grapefruit juice
2 oz pisco

Garnish: grapefruit slice
Method: Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice and shake. Strain over a big rock and garnish with a slice of grapefruit.

🔗 https://potentpotables.app/drinks/chirulin/

An easy-going summer sipper! Sometimes mixing up a warm-weather drink lets me pretend it isn't winter for an hour :) Come to think of it, where pisco comes from it is indeed summer! This one was seen on IG from Luiz Fernandes. I didn't have a grapefruit so I did a lemon twist garnish.

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!

No #aperitif #aperitivo tonight, I'm still trying to recover from a bad flu, so I'll post one I've had during the last holidays, the #Negroni Bianco:

30ml Xoriguer gin
30ml gran quinquina white Cap Corse
30ml Luxardo Bitter Bianco

Build in a fancy glass with a big chunk of ice and garnish with an orange slice.

The bitternes of Cap Corse and the strong juniper flavor of the wonderful Spanish gin helps a lot the "weak" Bitter Bianco.

Absolutely delicious, and such a trompe-l'oeil!

Tonight's #aperitivo #aperitif is the "New kid in Town" :

22,5ml bitter bianco
22,5ml fino sherry
22,5ml Cap Corse grande reserve quinquina blanc
22,5ml cachaça
2 dashes of orange bitter

Stirr&Strain and garnish with an olive and an almond.

Is this a white cardinale? Or a less savory trash-tini?
I don't know, but this one deserves a reshake soon!
