“The bar at NoMad is just about the sportiest damn thing to open in the Tenderloin since the Hoffman House closed. That was in 1915.”

1[David Wondrich and Cognac Ferrand] researched 19th-century recipes, and the result is Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao Ancienne Méthod, made with an infusion of the dried skins of Seville oranges in unaged, clear brandy. The spirit is redistilled and blended with Cognac, seasonings like anise and grilled sugar, and more orange peels. It is then barrel-aged and emerges smooth, veiled with orange, kissed with sweetness and hinting of juniper, almonds and vanilla.

2 Booker and Dax: The Red Hot Poker (by SeriousEats)
I haven’t been to Booker & Dax (the new bar attached to Momofuku Ssam in New York’s East Village) yet, but my fondness for flaming drinks is well documented. I can’t wait to pay a visit and try this modern take on the classic colonial American “flip.”
First prototype of our new Stranahan’s bottle design. A few more adjustments to be made, but we’re nearly there!
As both a Denver boy and a fan of great whiskey, I’m really loving the Made Shop’s redesign of the Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey bottle.
As a bartender, I find [The Boulevardier] so useful because, with just the slightest tweaks, it’s transformed. It’s a great in its de facto form, but I often find Campari a bit of a bully to softer whiskies, even at the modern recipe’s half up ratio of 2 parts whiskey to 1 of Campari. By cutting the 1 part of Campari in half, or even thirds, one can swap in dozens of other amari, or what are known as potable bitters, and create new versions of the drink ad infinitum.

Pretty much the same point I made about Negroni variations awhile back! The Negroni is a wonderful template.
