I love the deep green color in the background leaves on this one.

The $8 version looks better to me!

One of my favorites that includes an amaro is Paper Planes, by Sam Ross (¾ oz each of bourbon, Nonino Quintessentia Amaro, Aperol, and lemon juice; shaken with ice and strained into a coupe).

But that isn’t really an amaro drink, it just has some in it… you might like the Wandering Path, from Jeffrey Morganthaler (perhaps subbing the n/a amaro he uses for an alcoholic one). Here’s another, from Smuggler’s Cove, the Cosa Nostra #2.

Let me know what you think if you try any of these!

I’ve done basically that, except mince the rosemary first and then strain it after it’s cooled. I think the chopping makes a difference!

Thanks! Your little Pellegrino drink sounds delightful.

On the aquafaba front, there’s definitely no bean taste; it’s very neutral! I’m not vegan, so I can say that they are quite similar having tried both.

To use it in a recipe, I use 3 tablespoons to substitute for one egg white. Then, yes, a dry shake and then a shake with ice. And less need to double-strain than with egg!

I’ve always had trouble pairing cocktails with that flavor profile; let us know how it goes with the food!

I did it! I think you have plenty of room to play in this recipe; the quantity and dilution should make it easy to tweak. Let me know if you try it!

Thanks! ❤️

They’re made for IPAs but I thought it would be cute here.

That was a wild read!

My all-time favorite is Jeffrey Morganthaler’s, which uses 2:1 simple syrup and a gently muddled orange twist. Here’s a video: https://youtu.be/LufrnOktZiA

But it’s pretty simple:

  • 2 oz bourbon
  • ¼ oz 2:1 simple syrup
  • 2 dashes Angostura bitters
  • 1 large orange twist

In a rocks glass, add the syrup and bitters. Add the orange peel on top with the inside facing down and muddle. Add the bourbon, then stir. Add ice, then stir again.
