Oloroso sherry
209 gin
strawberry
sparkling white wine
Muddle a medium strawberry. Combine all but the sparkling wine, shake and fine-strain into a champagne flute. Top with sparkling wine. Garnish with a lemon twist.
This cocktail has a classic aperitif profile: Clean and crisp, but with enough intriguing herbal-fruit notes to really wake up your appetite. The name comes from the Palomino Fino grape from which sherry is made.

Hendrick's gin
Canton ginger liqueur
lime juice
mint
Gently muddle the mint, then build in a pilsner glass. Roll a few times and top with soda water. Garnish with a sprig of mint.
We took Absinthe's recipe and tweaked it a bit with the Canton. Stealing is fun!

Siete Leguas reposado tequila
Luxardo maraschino liqueur
lemon juice
grapefruit juice
Peychaud's bitters
Shake all but the bitters, strain into a bucket. Dash some bitters on the surface, and garnish with triangles of grapefruit.
This is a little tequila twist on the Hemmingway, plus a bit-o-bitters.

Laird's Applejack
Yellow Chartreuse
Benedictine
Angostura bitters
Stir and serve in a cocktail glass. Garnish with a brandied cherry.
The original uses Green Chartreuse and calvados. It also calls for way more of both Benedictine and Chartreuse than we found palatable, so we changed it up.

Arette reposado tequila
Blandy's madiera
small strawberry
cilantro
Reagan's orange bitters
Muddle the strawberry and cilantro, combine and shake ingredients. Fine-strain into a bucket, and garnish with a sprig of cilantro.
I was just curious about how people would react to cilantro in a cocktail, so I made this drink that was pretty tame, aside from said herb. Results? Not so popular... turns out that I should have taken that article about cilantro in the New York Times a little more seriously!

Muddle the guava and shake all but the dark rum. Fine-strain into a collins glass and float the Diplomatico. Garnish with a lime.
Just pretend you lived on some remote island and didn't have to pay taxes. This is what you'd be drinking.

Yellow Chartreuse
Luxardo Maraschino
lime juice
strawberry
Muddle the strawberry, shake, fine-strain into a cocktail glass. No garnish.
Yes, this is a play on the Last Word, but we backed off the liqueurs and used yellow in place of green Chartreuse to let the strawberry shine.
