A really delightful equal-parts recipe from The Garret in NYC, presumably it’s a play on The White Lady or The Pink Lady? This is certainly the most recent of the three, and wow, it’s so great… where has it been all my life??
- 1 ½ oz mezcal
- 1 ½ oz Aperol
- 1 ½ oz John. D. Taylor’s Velvet Falernum liqueur
- 1 ½ oz lime juice
I really do like Velvet Falernum. It’s great in a Chartreuse Swizzle, which currently is my favorite drink:
- 1 oz pineapple juice
- ¾ oz lime juice
- 1 ½ oz green Chartreuse
- ½ oz Velvet Falernum
I love that swizzle! Too bad chartreuse is so hard to come by now. Still working through old bottles?
1 ½ oz John. D. Taylor’s Velvet Falernum liqueur
Well, I can’t say I have the in my liquor cabinet. That’s a new ingredient I haven’t come across before. But I want to try this!
I hadn’t heard of it until I got a tiki cocktail book; it comes up a lot in that context! It’s a super syrupy, sweet, warm spiced liqueur. It’s really quite delicious!
One of my favorites. Doesn’t it usually have a mint sprig garnish? A few drops of jalapeno bitters or a splash of Ancho Reyes really adds something.
This looks great. It’s not too sweet with the Aperol and falernum?
