Cocktail (2 blogmarks)

A riff on the classic daiquiri that incorporates Falernum and Green Chartreuse. I’ve made this at home once but we subbed (Faccia Brutto) Centerbe for the Green Chartreuse.

The chartreuse gives it a green hue hence the nuclear part.

• 1oz Wray and Nephew Overproof Rum
• 1oz lime juice
• .75oz green chartreuse
• .25oz falernum

Shake with ice, double strain into a coup.

I was at Warehouse Liquors in downtown Chicago a couple months ago. Talking to one of the employees about Cynar, they mentioned they used to bartend and one of their favorite things to make with it is a drink called Artichoke Hold.

They gave me the following recipe which varies a little from the Diffords one.

• 5 drops saline
• 0.5oz orgeat
• 0.75oz Lime juice (not lemon like diffords)
• 0.5oz Elderflower liqueur
• 0.75oz Cynar
• 0.75oz Smith & Cross (one of my favorite rums)

Shake with ice, pour over fresh pebble ice in a Mai Tai glass, garnish with a mint sprig.
