Saturday Cocktail Hour: Espresso Martini and/or Cognac Sharkerato #cocktailrobot -•- I love the idea of the espresso martini. What I’m not a fan of are the elements that aren’t spirit or espresso or simple syrup. I’ve never found many of the coffee liqueurs to be super compelling. And Kahlúa or Baileys, while undeniably tasty, mean I would have to buy them. I scratched my head and thought, “there has to be a better way?” This was pretty darn tasty. In the future I will pull back on the simple and go with more spirit. 1 oz. each of… Aeropress Espresso Simple Syrup Cognac (Hennessy VSOP) 2 dashes of Chocolate Aztec bitters. Shake with ice. Strain. Garnish with bean or beans (it’s supposed to be 3 beans). Note to self: A trick with this is to not have hot espresso. It makes sense to make espresso and then start the cocktail - but that hot espresso does something to the tins and the combination with the ice and the shaking mean that they do not want to come apart. I made the espresso and put it in my beaker. It then went into a cold water bath (a pot with cold tap water) as I went to get bottles. It was somewhat chilled by the time shaking happened. Easy peasy. -•- #cocktailrobot #noFilter #cocktails #cocktail #cocktailsofinstagram #drinkstagram #hennessy #vsop #hennessyvsop via Instagram instagr.am/p/CZDmI2GtRmy/ January 22, 2022 at 09:41PM

Sunday Cocktail Hour: Taibhse Smocach or ‘The Smoky Ghost’ #cocktailrobot -•- Last night we made the ‘Debbie Don’t’ which was a sour with a split spirit base and maple syrup playing the role of the sweet. That cocktail was a Resposado Tequila and Averna split. In the back of my mind, there was a little voice (oh, it’s so annoying) that said, “tomorrow switch out the tequila for Ardbeg”. Then it said, “Do you also want to remember that time in middle school where you didn’t kiss that girl?”. The “Debbie Don’t” is named after the ghost (Debbie) who haunts the bathrooms at Fresh Kills bar in Queens. Let’s all agree: haunting a bathroom has to be the worst job for a ghost. The drink looks darker than expected because the Ardbeg had some butterfly pea flower contact. You can see the little bottle in the background. -•- 1.0 oz. Ardbeg An Oa 1.0 oz. Averna 0.75 oz. Lemon Juice 0.50 oz. Maple Syrup -•- Shake with ice. Garnished with a cherry. Cocktail spears by @stectormetals Ya’ll.

Cocktail Hour: Hole in the Cup #cocktailrobot

-•-

Egad! How have I never made this cocktail before? Revelatory.

Spotted in the heartbreakingly awesome ‘Sasha Petraske Regarding Cocktails’ book and credited to Lauren McLaughlin @cloudcoterie . This is described as an absinthe riff on the Gordon’s Cup.

0.50 oz. Lime Juice

0.75 oz. Simple Syrup

1.00 oz. Pineapple Juice

0.25 oz. Absinthe

1.50 oz. Blanco Tequila @volcantequila

3 thin cucumber slices (save one for the garnish)

All into the tin. Shake with ice. Strain and pour high-enough to create a nice fluffy head.

My tweaks/substitutions…

- I don’t have any cucumber. But, I do have basil and threw some in to give it a hint of green.

- Normally you’d garnish with a cucumber slice. We have some pineapple so I did a little pineapple chunk (that looks a bit like a pat of butter).

Delicious.

My rating? 9 out of 10 bruised toes.

(I bruised a toe this weekend. it’s pretty pretty pretty pretty gross.)

Tuesday Cocktail Hour: The Volcan Paper Plane #cocktailrobot -•- How is it only Tuesday. Many colleagues took the WSET level 2 spirits course (which is all new) final exam today. I took it as well. On to L3 I suppose. #WSETSpiritsL2ExamComplete The ‘Paper Plane’ is a 4-ingredient riff on the Last Word that uses Bourbon. I used tequila. Equal parts (0.75 ounces each) of - Tequila (@volcantequila Reposado) - Aperol - Amaro Nonino - Lemon Juice Shake with ice. I added a spoon of egg whites and then dry shook as well. Strain. Garnish. I did some foam decorations with bitters but neglected to photograph that. Also did not make a tiny paper airplane as a garnish.

Thursday Cocktail Hour: The 50/50 Rob Roy #cocktailrobot -•- The Rob Roy has traditional measurements of 2 parts spirit and 1 part vermouth.

According to my notes we made various versions of the Rob Roy with #Glenmorangie and tried various vermouths and ratios. We liked a 50/50 Scotch and Antica Formula vermouth recipe. I know. Blasphemy in many ways. Come by and I’ll make you one. 1.5 oz. Glenmorangie Lasanta (12YO Sherry finish) 1.5 oz. Carpano Antica Formula vermouth Some Angostura dashes. Stir on ice. Strain.

Cocktail Hour: Farewell to Arms #cocktailrobot

-•-

Years ago (according to the internets) I made this because Lovely Wife™ had appeared in the latest edition of ‘Sharknado’ as an extra. So, we wanted a shark-themed cocktail and I thought this was pretty clever.

1.5 ounce Fernet @royalvallet

0.75 ounce Falernum

0.75 ounce lime juice

0.50 ounce simple syrup

Mint to garnish

Shake with ice. Strain.

So…. juicy. Some may think it would be a bitter bomb - I’m finding it juicy and round and super quaffable.

Also visually pretty swell.

Monday Cocktail Hour: The Coal Train #cocktailrobot -•- I was waiting for my lunch at the little deli near work (I went to the office!

I went @lamaisonandvelier Clairin Vaval Haitian Rum!) 0.50 oz. creme de banana 0.25 oz. @royalvallet Amargo-Vallet Stir with ice. Strain onto handsome ice cube in handsome @amoryamargo glass.

Cocktail Hour: Haggis Old Fashioned #cocktailrobot -•- There was a video with Glenmorangie’s Master Distiller/Blender/Head Guy Dr. Bill Lumsden where he was with a bartender making a Burns Night themed Old Fashioned. The idea was creating the flavor profile of haggis (taste delicious / doesn’t sound delicious if you haven’t had it) in an Old Fashioned. Neat idea. 50 ml of Glenmorangie Lasanta (12 YO /Sherry Finish) 2 dashes of Angostura A pinch of… salt pepper nutmeg coriander 1 barspoon of honey I let all of this sit nicely together in my mixing glass (as I was making 2) for a few minutes to get friendly. Make snacks during that time. Then stirred on ice. Strained. Had to include some fun clear ice with patterns from my new ice plate thing. Blood orange garnish? Sure. My review? Pretty interesting and tasty. I might play with keeping the whisky and the spices together longer.

Cocktail Hour: The Tuxedo #cocktailrobot

-•-

There seems to be a number of variations of a cocktail with the name “Tuxedo”. We were calling this cocktail the 30/60 (since we love 50/50’s but this had different proportions) until it dawned on me that it already had a name.

This is basically the 1931 version of the Tuxedo with some nods to the previous versions.

2 oz. Gin @mulholland.spirits

1 oz. Fino Sherry

1-2 dashes of Garden Party Bitters

Absinthe rinse

Stirred

Express and garnish with lemon peel.

Yup. I do like this.

Fino is the driest style of Sherry and great with food as it’s relatively delicate and has good acid. It matures under the layer of ‘flor’.

Nutty and delicate. Like you.

Saturday Cocktail Hour: Duo of Bonal #cocktailrobot -•- I grabbed a bottle of Bonal Gentian-Quina today as it’s been on my ‘to-grab’ list for a while. It’s really fun. Low ABV. Alpine-y herbal. When drinking it neat, it has a juiciness that was unexpected (maybe that low ABV - only 16%). Someone on the internet described the character as “an aperitif that has things in common with both amari and sweet vermouth”. Will you see Bonal cocktails on my feed for the next few days? Yes. Two quick cocktails! I saw a number of suggestions of using this with Rhum Agricole and someone on Reddit did one equal parts with Aperol and Bonal. That’s the cocktail on the left. I don’t have a proper Rhum Agricole but I do have Paranubes! On the right is Up in Arms 1.50 oz. Lillet Rouge (used Cocchi Storico Vermouth di Torino) 0.50 oz. Bonal Gentiane Quina 0.50 oz. lemon juice (shaken with ice) -•- #cocktailrobot #noFilter #cocktails #cocktail #cocktailsofinstagram #drinkstagram 📷 #fujixe3 (23mm f1.4) #fuji23mmf14 via Instagram instagr.am/p/CNz1NpjLEJH/ April 18, 2021 at 09:59AM

They call for Clément VSOP Rhum Agricole. Which I don’t have. Yet. We’re using Haitian Clairin instead. They did it up.

Sunday Cocktail Hour: New Rum: Daiquiri #cocktailrobot -•- Well. It’s been a wonky time here. I was in France a few weeks back and bought some bottles and am just now cracking them open.

What’s the rum? Clement 'Canne Bleue' 20th Anniversaire Rhum Vieux Agricole From Martinique. Rhum agricole is rum that is made from 100% sugarcane juice - and not from molasses (or a combination of the two). Martinique even has it’s own appellation controls since they are French ruled. There is an “AOC Martinique Rhum Agricole”. The Blue Cane is a type of renowned sugarcane. Aged in former Bourbon barrels for between 3-11 years. Bought this at the amazing La Maison du Rhum in Paris. -•- #cocktailrobot #noFilter #cocktails #cocktail #cocktailsofinstagram #drinkstagram #clementrhum #clement #rhum #daiquiri via Instagram instagr.am/p/CWUoFQ5rqvQ/ November 15, 2021 at 10:51PM

Special Cocktail Hour: Arugula Black Rum Manhattan AKA Only Vacation Spirits Manhattan

Friends were in Italy for almost a month and brought us lots of little bottles of Amaro - including this Amaro di Rucoletto that features arugula as a primary flavor.

Bitter. Yet juicy and bright. Like you.

Lovely Wife™ made the cocktail. Yay! Luxurious!

We did a version of a Manhattan with…

Mount Gay X.O Rum in the role of the whiskey.

Amaro di Rucoletto is the role of vermouth.

Orange bitters

Lemon Twist

Stirred with ice. Strained into oh-so-delicate glass.

Tasty. A bit boozy.

Sunday Cocktail Hour: Clairin Regal Sour #cocktailrobot -•- Clairin is the traditional run of Haiti. Do a quick google of ‘Clairin’ and you’ll find some good articles explaining it all. These rums are made from pressed sugar cane juice, fermented with wild yeast, and pot-stilled. It’s super vegetal. Grassy. Funky.

Strain into chilled cocktail glass with fancy ice cube. Garnish with whatever fruit peel you have (we had orange). The grassy + vegetal notes are there on the nose but are more balanced on the palate. Funky but enjoyable. -•- I was reading articles about ‘Clairin’ and I saw a mention that the Hotel Florita in Haiti does (what some say) the best rum sour in the country. So, then I went down a rabbit hole reading about this hotel (handsome + bookmarked + looks groovy) and then someone in a review mentioned ‘mamba’ which is a spicy peanut butter they serve there (recipe found + saved) and then I watched a documentary about the Mamba snake. A fine evening indeed.

Oh, right. The reason that this cocktail became famous was that it’s pretty tasty.

We have some crazy unsweetened dark-as-night tannic cranberry juice that sucks all the moisture out of your mouth so of course we had to make a Cosmo.

There are some slightly different specs from various people - I used the one in the MODERN CLASSICS cocktail app on my phone that is credited to Toby Cecchini at the Odeon circa 1988.

2.00 oz. Vodka (Belvedere Organic)

1.00 oz. Cointreau (Nope! Clement Creole Shrubb all day)

1.00 oz. Lime Juice

1.00 oz. Cranberry Juice

Shake! Strain. I should have garnished it with something.

This is the ‘Improved Japanese Cocktail’ that is credited to Toby Cecchini at the Long Island Bar here in Brooklyn. What’s improved? Lime juice is added. 2 oz. @Hennessy VSOP 1 oz. Orgeat 1 oz.
