This is lovely, and pretty much right what it says on the tin. Delicious! The smokiness of the mezcal goes nicely with the flamed orange twist.

  • 1 oz mezcal
  • 1 oz sweet vermouth
  • 1 oz Campari
  • flamed orange twist garnish

Stir with ice, strain into the glass, then flame the orange twist over the cocktail and discard the orange.

This is one I saw linked on a punch article that @rbwells posted last week, from Daisuke Ito. It’s simple, elegant, and the scotch balances nicely with Bénédictine. I would have this again!

  • 1 oz scotch
  • 1/2 oz Bénédictine
  • 1/2 oz lemon juice

This quantity was good in a Nick and Nora, but I’d double it for a coupe next time.

Keeping up with my little chartreuse theme, here is my all-time favorite equal-parts cocktail.

  • 1oz London dry gin
  • 1oz green chartreuse
  • 1oz maraschino liqueur
  • 1oz lime juice

Seriously, so good! Tart, complex, refreshing; it really has it all.

Here’s a nice, simple, boozy one from Death & Co:

  • 2oz Rittenhouse bonded rye
  • 1/2oz Laird’s bonded apple brandy
  • 1/2oz Yellow Chartreuse

The rye ends up being the least present ingredient even though it’s by far the highest volume one; I get much more apple and herbal chartreuse from it.

Pedal Board
  • That’s so sweet, thank you! But we are just playing local bars, nothing too fancy and no internet presence (yet?). It’s bluegrass, and I play banjo in it.

  • I built a pedal board to use in my band (lake effect is in the band name); it’s basically a box with a slot to route power out of, and to the velcro’d down pedals on top.

    It was my first time using a dremel to engrave, and I’m happy with how that turned out! I traced the characters from a print out, then engraved the outline, then the fill, then painted the inside.

    The wood is stained cedar with a couple of coats of poly. The main body was put together with pocket hole joinery.
