Once in a while you stumble upon a cocktail where it feels like one ingredient was absolutely destined for that drink. That was my experience with the Sheepish Fairy by @sheepishjen , which I discovered thanks to Drinkstagram stalwarts @t1m_kirkland and @robbalazs .

I’ve had these Jamaican Jerk bitters for some time, and while I’ve used spicy bitters before, these are on another level (at least for me). It turns out they were just waiting for the right cocktail. The ingredients in this drink perfectly complement the bold spice, and the bitters, in turn, elevate the cocktail into something really special.

This drank for me like a spicy rum Manhattan that is absolutely addictive. I kept coming back for sip after sip much faster than I usually do.

If you know someone who likes a bit of heat, make this for them; I think you’ll knock their socks off. Cheers!

Happy New Drink Friday! I missed a post this week so I feel like I’m behind. But my good friend Tim @t1m_kirkland brought me a treasure - a three amaro cocktail - like a three alarm fire this requires immediate attention! The drink created by Jennifer Erickson @sheepishjen is a powerhouse. To be honest - I was afraid of Probitas- my first attempt to use it met with disappointment. This drink is outstanding - the herbal components all hit on the nose complemented the rum funk. This is a super complex drink - cola, cherry, caramel, baking spice, nutmeg with a nice spicy finish. I did need to amend my version since I didn’t have the Jamaican Jerk Bitters - I used Bitter Ends Memphis Barbecue bitters supplemented by a few drops of Hellfire Habanero shrub. While I can’t say it’s true to form - it came out great. Tim thanks for highlighting this amazing cocktail and Jen thanks for creating this treasure and speaking the truth! Cheers!

1.5 oz Probitas Rum
1 oz Cynar
1 oz Amaro Montenegro
1 oz Amaro Averna
1 dash Bitter Ends Jamaican Jerk Bitters (sub’d Memphis Barbecue bitters and 3 drops Bittermens Habanero Hellfire Shrub)
2 drops Unicorn Tears ( 20% Saline) - I add it to almost everything

Stir over ice a good 30 secs - strain into a chilled cocktail glass- garnish with an orange 🍊 twist. Enjoy!😊

🍑What is it:
Deeply Satisryed

🍑Why is it
I finally got myself a bottle of Bigallet China-China which has been on a long lost list. (Thanks for the nudge, @sheepishjen.)
I love it! Over a chunk ball of ice with an orange twist will be a most satisfying aperitivo or digestivo go-to.

I wanted to play up the marmaladey deep orange notes in a tipple which I loosely modeled after an unequal Paper Plane.
Italicus with its sweet and bitter bergamot was a perfect playmate, as was Rye. Just a wee bit of lemon so I could really get those orange notes. Bam.

🍑What’s in it:
1 oz Rye
1 oz Bigallet China-China Amer
.75 oz Italicus Bergamot
.5 oz lemon juice
orange garnish

🍑What’s it in:
Combine with ice, shake, strain into a jeweled coupe and top with a heck of a flourish.

🍑Cheers! I love you!

Lemon Verbena Chartreuse Smash⁣ by @thebitterfairy , seen on @sheepishjen ‘s feed
2oz Green Chartreuse
Half a lemon cut in chunks
Handful verbena leaves
0.75oz Simple syrup or 2tsp sugar
.
🎪
Mash the leaves with sugar and the pieces of lemon at the bottom of a shaker. Add the Chartreuse and a bunch of ice. Shake hard, double strain over crushed ice. Garnish with a lemon peel and a few leaves of lemon verbena
.
🎪
It’s so wonderful when a simple recipe makes the rounds on Instagram, and it’s amazing to reshake, while also allowing for plenty of flexibility. If you don’t have lemon verbena, you can make this mint basil, lovage, or whatever leafy greens that tickles your fancy

I found a recipe for brandied dry fruit @yewande_komolafe which looked delicious 😋. I figured it would really go well in a variety of dishes and cocktails 🤔💭. Well…it is amazing 🤩 and I have been using the brandied fruit to infuse spirits and as a cocktail ingredient (will been posting some of the cocktails so stay tuned).
🔸
For this cocktail I riffed a cocktail called Saratoga featured in the @nytimes 📰. I tinkered with the recipe to allow the flavors in the brandied fruit take a front seat. I also allowed the fruit sit for a full minute in the shaker with the ingredients and giving it a stir. What a boozy delight! #sippingwithmarili
🔸
BRANDIED FRUIT DELIGHT
🔸 1 1/2 oz Milam & Greene Rye Whiskey @milamandgreenewhiskey
🔸 1 oz sweet vermouth @vermouthdolin
🔸 1/2 oz Brandy @copperandkings
🔸 2 dashes Bohemian Bitters @oldforester
🔸 2 tbs. brandied dry fruit
🔸 1 orange twist
Add ingredients to a shaker, stir and let sit for about one minute. Add ice and stir to chill and dilute. Fine strain into a chilled coupe and garnish with an orange twist. This gorgeous coupe is a gift from my dear friend Jen @sheepishjen. Jen knows how much I love glassware 🍸❤️

¡Salud y Felicidad!

🍷 Hunt & Peck 🍷

A gift for my #secretsanté @sheepishjen 🎁!

I was excited to participate in @servedbysoberon ‘s holiday event and it was really a journey. Bit of a novel for you @sheepishjen :

So first, I live in Manitoba where liquor is for the most part controlled by the provincial gov. This has advantages and disadvantages but by far the biggest downside imo is that there are no specialty stores that can sell “exotic” liqueurs. So when I saw her favorite ingredient was amaro I had a slight panic attack because my selection is EXTREMELY limited here, and shipping is NOT allowed so I couldn’t even solve it via online shopping.

Luckily my sister was flying in from a province with more selection and she was kind enough to oblige my request to bring five bottles of amari (amaros? 🤔). Since I’ve never tried many of these I just had to grab a variety.

Then came the task of actually making something good and I tried a few things that were honestly pretty bad. There were some good photos but if the drink actually tastes terrible that’s a pretty lame gift imo.

So I flipped through “Welcome Home” by @deathandcompany and found a fantastic spec that I think fits for @sheepishjen, and I hope you enjoy it. It may not be the most crazy exotic stuff ever but it tastes delicious.

1½ oz. rye
½ oz. mezcal
½ oz. sweet vermouth
¼ oz. Amaro Averna
1 tsp. Campari
orange twist for garnish
brandied cherry for garnish

Stir all ingredients with ice, then strain into a chilled Nick & Nora. Express the orange twist over the glass and discard. Garnish with your cherry.

I happened to have Rittenhouse rye and Sombra mezcal which was what the recipe called for and this was a treat. I guess it’s a manhattan variant but the mezcal and averna are just wonderful flavors to add in here. Very layered and a complex evolution.

Happy holidays and hope everyone is staying safe.

I just had to go for one more entry to @homebarawards February stirred tiki challenge before the clock ran out!
.
.
What could be more stirred than a built-in-glass Americano? With just Campari, sweet vermouth and soda water, it is decidedly a little black dress with pearls compared to the sequined gown and feather boa of an iconic tiki serve.
.
.
But swap out the sweet vermouth for pineapple rum and some tropical liqueurs and that little black dress gets quite the makeover!
