The Oriental Cocktail

1 1/2 oz Rye Whisky
3/4 oz sweet vermouth
3/4 oz triple sec
1/2 oz lime juice
Shake and double strain.

The Derby

Not to be confused with the delicious Brown Derby containing
grapefruit juice. This is pretty good however. I tried it with Dolin
Blanc instead of the sweet vermouth but should try the original as well.

1 oz bourbon
.5 oz sweet vermouth
.5 orange curaçao
.75 lime juice
Shake and strain and garnish with a mint leaf.

Cuba Kula

This one has no Campari.

2 oz fresh lime juice
1/2 oz honey
1 oz orange juice
1 oz dark rum, the recipe calls for Myers but i used Coruba12
1 oz Lemon Hart demerara
1/2 oz Bacardi 151
Dash Angostura bitters
6 drops Herbsaint or Pernod

Dissolve the honey in the limejuice and then place it all in a shaker and shake with plenty of ice. Strain over highball with ice.

Jungle Bird #2

OK, it's not exactly tiki drink season but this one was pretty good. The Campari made it seem more appropriate for a cold November evening. I made it for Wendy but she is opposed to all things Campari.

0.75 oz campari
0.5 oz fresh lime
0.5 oz simple syrup
2 oz pineapple juice
1 oz orange juice
1 oz demerara rum
1 oz overproof demerara rum to float

Shake and pour into a highball filled with crushed ice. Garnish with a lime.

Pisco Sour

2 oz pisco
3/4 oz lime juice
3/4 oz simple syrup
1 small egg white
2-3 drops angostura bitters

Shake first four ingredients with out ice for at least thirty seconds to emulsify egg whites. Add ice and shake again to chill. Strain in to a chilled cocktail glass. Add three drops of bitters.
