The Season
Posted by on July 30, 2012
After dinner the other night I was looking around the bar trying to figure out a good dessert/nightcap drink and came across this rye based darkly flavored concoction:
- 2 Rye Whiskey
- 1 Campari
- .5 Creme de Cassis
- 2 dashes Fee Brother’s Aztec Chocolate bitters
- 1 dash Angostura
Stir all of this over ice and strain into an old fashioned glass, top with a twisted orange. This is definitely not a drink to have before a meal or during a hot day, this is much better on a cool night after a heavy meal.

With the blooming of all the dogwoods recently I felt compelled to make something that reminds me of growing up in Florida, so I grabbed some grapefruit juice and whiskey and started mixing:
- 1.5 Rye Whiskey
- .5 St. Germain
- .25 coriander ginger syrup
- 2 splashes grapefruit juice
- 1 dash Peychaud’s bitters
- 1 dash lemon bitters
Stir over ice and strain into chilled coupe glass. No garnish is needed, and this could also be served on the rocks as a punch. This is sweeter than most of my drinks, but not cloyingly so, with light citrus, and crisp.
