Cocktail Recipes, pt. XXXVIII
Black Monk
• 1 1/2 oz Cognac
• 1/2 oz Benedictine
• 1/2 oz Lemon Juice
• 4 Brandied Cherries
• 3 dashes Cherry Bitters (or can use 3 dashes Angostura for both)
• 1 dash of Fee's Aromatic Bitters
Muddle cherries, add other ingredients and ice, shake, and strain into a cocktail glass. This recipe came by way of Jamie Boudreau who created and wrote about this recipe in his blog. My notes say that I used Pierre Ferrand 1re Cru Cognac, Meyer lemons, Luxardo cherries, and since we lacked both cherry (still) and Fee's Aromatic (then), I used the Angostura option. A very rich, tasty, and complex drink. The lemon and cherry flavors balance each other out rather well.
The Theresa
• 2 oz Campari
• 1 oz Lime Juice
• 3/4 oz Creme de Cassis
Shake with ice and serve up in a rocks glass. A rather bizarre drink that turned out rather splendidly. I was looking for a creme de cassis recipe and found this on Slakethirst.com by way of Gary Regan's book. The blog entry described it as, "It's a deliciously bitter-sour-sweet-fruity affair," and we were quite pleased with it despite doubting the recipe at first.
Weep No More
• 3/4 oz Brandy
• 3/4 oz Red Dubonnet
• 1/2 oz Lime Juice
• 1/2 oz Maraschino Liqueur
Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass. I found this recipe on CocktailDB.com while looking for a brandy drink. With a booze, a bitter (albeit a mild one), lime, and maraschino, it does remind me a little bit of a more mellow Last Word (see two drinks down).
Nightmare
• 1 oz Dry Gin
• 1 oz Dubonnet
• 1/2 oz Cherry Heering (of Cherry Brandy)
• 1/2 oz Orange Juice
Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass. Found this recipe in The Art of Mixing Drinks which was based on the Esquire's drink book.
Last Word
• 3/4 oz Gin
• 3/4 oz Lime Juice
• 3/4 oz Green Chartreuse
• 3/4 oz Maraschino Liqueur
Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass. The recipe is from the Cocktail Chronicles blog. The drink was recommended to me bydfan when I posted about the Green Ghost on the CocktailVirgin blog.
