JALISCO SHAKE DOWN

¾ oz lime juice
¾ oz pineapple juice
½ oz passion fruit syrup
½ oz Aperol
1½ oz Tequila reposado
float Peychauds bitters

Garnish: pineapple frond
Method: Combine all ingredients except bitters in a shaker with ice and shake. Strain over a large rock of clear ice, float the bitters, and garnish.

Found on IG anatomyofadrink who credits IG ed_tales. The build reminded me of a Jungle Bird, but the taste is not really so similar. Great summer tequila cocktail for that person you know who loves bitter in their drinks.

BITTERSWEET IDENTITY CRISIS

2 dashes lavender bitters
½ oz orgeat
¾ oz Green Chartreuse
1½ oz mezcal

Garnish: lemon peel
Method: Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass, add ice, and stir. Strain over a large rock of clear ice, express lemon peel, and garnish.

I saw this from IG highproofpreacher and felt compelled to try it immediately. As he said, it's a weird one! But it was delightful and confusing on my tongue all at the same time. Sweetness from orgeat followed by the herbal notes and finishing with smokiness, it defies categorization. I chose a slightly higher proof mezcal from Alipús at 47.5% which stood up nicely to the Chartreuse and fat pour of orgeat.

I didn’t have lavender bitters, so I went aromatic with home-grown lavender from my balcony slightly charred with a flame.

CHOCO-NANA OLD FASHIONED

4 dashes walnut bitters
2 dashes Peychauds bitters
¼ oz creme de cacao
¼ oz banana liqueur
2 oz Pot Still Lightly Aged Rum ❶

Garnish: orange twist
Method: Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass, add ice, and stir. Strain over a large rock of clear ice, express an orange peel, and garnish with it.

I whipped this up on a whim after a long summer weekend filled with activity. A storm arrived in the evening and I wanted something to go with the chill in the air. I used Doctor Bird as my base, whose funkiness gets elevated by the banana/cacao liqueur. Overall quite sweet tbh; maybe next time I'd reduce to barspoons of liqueur instead of quarter shots, or use an OP as the base spirit.

WITHOUT FACULTY

¾ oz lemon juice
½ oz ginger syrup
½ oz banana liqueur
2 oz bourbon
float Bittermens 'Elemakule Tiki bitters

Garnish: banana slice
Method: Combine all ingredients except bitters in a shaker with one large ice cube and shake. Strain over a large rock of clear ice, float the bitters, and garnish with banana.

I saw this from IG anatomyofadrink and happened to have everything on hand. Always nice when that happens. He reports that it came from Tony Burke who honors his dad, a fan of both bananas foster and ginger, and who does NOT drink because he doesn't want to "lose control of my faculties."

ISLAND WINE

¾ oz lime juice
½ oz passion fruit syrup
half a passion fruit
2½ oz white vermouth
3-4 dashes Angostura bitters

Garnish: passion fruit in the shell, mint sprig, swizzle stick
Method: Cut the passionfruit in half, scoop one half into the glass and set the other half aside for garnish. Add remaining ingredients and fill the glass ⅔ full with crushed ice. Swizzle until glass becomes frosty. Add more ice and garnish.

A refreshing, relatively low ABV crusher for the summer heat. No spirit involved so you can treat yourself to a second one no problem ;) I saw this on IG servedbysoberon and it's an original of his.

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.

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.

Pineapple Old Fashioned

2 dashes bitters
½ oz pineapple demerara syrup
¼ oz falernum
½ oz Pot Still Lightly Aged Rum ❶
1½ oz rye

Garnish: dehydrated pineapple
Method: Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass with ice and stir. Strain over a large rock and garnish.

The other day I made some homemade pineapple demerara syrup, and a few hours after bottling it I saw this spec from @boozyANDsour! It's a true delight. I reprinted the spec as-is, but personally I go heavy on the rum and lighter on rye. Recipe for syrup at the second link:

This evening’s cocktail: The Negroni Spagliato Spritz

1 oz Campari
1 oz sweet red vermouth
4 oz Prosecco (or in this case cremante - whatever bubbly you have on hand)
Dash Angostura orange bitters
Orange peel garnish (I don’t have this tonight)

Very refreshing, with the delicious bitter profile of a classic Negroni, but much lower alcohol content (Prosecco instead of gin), so one can guzzle a few. I think this might be my summer cocktail of 2023.

Renaissance
- 2 ounces #brandy
- 1 ounce sweet vermouth
- 1/4 ounce #limoncello
- 2 dashes peach bitters
Garnish: Lemon twist

Stir with ice. Strain into a #cocktail glass.

As we all know, #bitters are a crucial ingredient for many #cocktails. A few old recipes referred to (defunct) peach bitters. When Fee Brothers began producing them I took it on myself to see if I could come up with a few cocktails that might be able to make good use of it.
