Tonight’s drink is “Sunset at Gowanus” - a Death & Co variant on the Daiquiri. It has rum, apple brandy yellow chartreuse, lime juice, and maple syrup.
They called for Santa Teresa 1796 Rum. I used Flor de Cana which is tasty but I don’t know how it compares

Tonight’s drink is the Bijou. Equal parts gin, sweet vermouth, and green chartreuse and a dash of orange bitters. It’s tasty but overbalanced on the chartreuse side

Tonight’s cocktail with @carlamiriam.bsky.social is the Alaska thanks to the Mixel app: 1.5 oz gin, 0.5 oz yellow chartreuse and orange bitters. It’s nice but it has a simple taste. We might try it with old tom gin or perhaps with some Maraschino Liqueur. Good enough to experiment!

Tonight’s drink is the Greta Garbo: rum, maraschino, lime, simple syrup and a rinse of absinthe. Next time I make this: less simple syrup more maraschino but it’s yummy

Tonight’s cocktail is a house speciality: the Avernaville. That’s 2 oz gin, 3/4 oz sweet vermouth and 1/2 oz Averna.
It’s modeled on the Cynartown. We’ve switched the Cynar for Averna

Tonight’s drink is the Barbados Cocktail: rum, lime, and Falernum. It’s a lot like a daiquiri but the falernum adds an interesting finish

Tonight’s drink is an attempt to imitate a cocktail we had at Giusto’s in Newport RI. We only got the ingredients from the menu so I guessed the proportions. It came out good (if small):
1.5 oz Pisco
0.5 oz Strega
0.5 oz Cynar
I served it up in a cocktail glass may have been served on the rocks
