I ran out of limes but for a good reason. I buy limes at my local produce store at a price that it would be ludicrous to try to tap a card. I did have some bills on my way there, but a little girl, by herself, looking so lost and sad, was selling candy on the train. So she got my dollars and I can go an evening without limes.

Went with a Bobby Burns rather than a Rob Roy.

  • 1 1/2 oz. blended Scotch (I only had Glenlivet 12 on hand)
  • 1 oz. sweet vermouth
  • 1/3 oz. Benedictine
  • 2 dashes Peychaud's bitters
  • 2 dashes absinthe

Stir in a mixing glass with ice and strain into a chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass.  Garnish with a twist of lemon.

This was actually a little sweet for me.  I might try half-half sweet and dry vermouth if I make this again.

The Rosita:

  • 1 1/2 oz. reposado tequila
  • 1/2 oz. Campari (or similar red bitter liqueur, not Aperol)
  • 1/2 oz. dry vermouth
  • 1/2 oz. sweet vermouth
  • Dash Angostura bitters
  • Dash orange bitters

Stir in an ice-filled mixing glass and strain into an ice-filled Old Fashioned glass.  If you have, garnish with a twist of grapefruit.

Sentimental favorite. Early days at Pegu Club, asked Phil Ward to make me something with Campari and he served this up.
