I need to try something like this this year. I have some searranos waiting to change color, and a mystery pepper that was supposed to be jalapeño but came in looking somewhat more like shishito, but they’re mild and have all turned red.

I can get it at my local grocery store now, but it doesn’t come in the loose plastic sack, and the bottle seems to be a little thicker plastic as well even after you peel off the errant label. I always get it at Uwajimaya when I can for the authentic experience. I guess it was inevitable though that they normalize it for the US market eventually.

Haven’t made a proper Daiquiri in a while!
They’re so good this way…
2 oz. Havana Club 3 Year
scant 3/4 oz. lime
3 bar spoons super fine sugar (I use a 2:1 mix of white and Demerara sugar that I dry blend to superfine texture)
2 drops saline
Dissolve sugar in lime juice, add rum and saline, hard shake with ice for no more than about 12 seconds, and fine strain into a chilled coupe

if you used the Bonded Overholt I’d say it’s very worthy.
One fun thing to do with a Vieux Carré is to use the historically correct garnish, which is a lemon twist, a cherry, AND a slice of pineapple. Takes it into a different realm than just a cognac spiked Manhattan variant on the rocks.

A round of Planter’s Punch tonight with my preferred high hogo blend, 2 parts Coruba, 1 part Hamilton Pot Still Jamaican Black, 1 part Plantation/Planteray O.F.T.D.
This blend pretty closely matches the 97% abv of vintage Dagger Punch Rum, the mid century tiki mainstay from J. Wray & Nephew. Whether it represents the flavor profile is hard to say, since I have no vintage Dagger to compare.
I use Stephen Remsberg’s recipe, but dial back to 2.5 oz rum due to the higher abv of my blend.

Another hot day, another #rum beverage…
A Navy Grog in the best one I’ve ever had, made by Garret Richard in the Slowly Shirley days.
He combined the Donn Beach at Victor Bergeron styles meaning a split of honey syrup and pimento dram, and used a split of El Dorado 8, Denizen Merchant’s Reserve, and Appleton 12.
Use the original recipe as a template with those ingredients and you’ll come close.

I use a Camp Chef outdoor burner on my back porch that I modded with a different orrifice and adjustable propane regulator so I can get blue flame about a foot high if I want to. It can get some serious wok hei.

Made the Le Veau d’Or Martini again after you refreshed my memory.
I don’t have a fino based vermouth, so used a split of Lustau Fino and Dolin Dry.
What surprises me every time is how citrusy the “sidecar” or “highball” or whatever you want to call it is.
The pair is really excellent.

Barspoon homemade raspberry syrup

yeah, with a whole egg and that combination of spirits it has plenty of depth! And the texture is fantastic. Conversely I do age Tom & Jerry batter. I use the Audrey Saunders recipe: https://drinkboy.com/pdf/TomAndJerry.pdf
Once the whites go flat its volume drops, so you don’t want a full 2oz of batter per drink.

I used to do it aged, but honestly don’t really think it adds much anymore.
My current recipe:
1/2oz Don’s Spices #2
1/4oz simple syrup
2oz milk
1oz cream
1 dash vanilla
1 whole egg
2/3 oz Pierre Ferrand 1840
2/3 oz Old Grandad Bonded
2/3 oz Plantation O.F.T.D.
Shake with just a few cubes until chilled, strain into one of the tins, then spin in the drink mixer (milkshake blender) until frothy, strain again into a chilled double old fashioned over one large cube, garnish with nutmeg.

At the same time I picked up the new Planteray Cut & Dry coconut rum, I found another Alexandre Gabriel curiosity… his Citadelle Cornichon Gin.
Turns out it makes a delicious 2:1 Martini with Dolin Dry and Sother Teague’s excellent Garden Party Bitters. Garnished (of course) with three cornichons.
I was way more impressed with this expression than his new rum.
It’s a shame that it’s limited edition. Grab a bottle if you see it!
