"It is Hard to Give a Nice Presentation"
Two-Finger
Extraordinary Dish Walk Spritz

Three drinks: (a) something shaken, (b) something stirred, and (c) something non-alcoholic.

Stirred

Bold, herbaceous, and spirit forward. You can think of it as a Rye Old Fashion that lingered just long enough in the rosemary bushes on the way up the stairs from CERC.

2 1⁄2 oz Rye, Rittenhouse 100
1⁄3 oz Rosemary syrup
1⁄8 oz Yellow Chartreuse
1 ds Bitters, Angostura
1 brandied cherry speared by a spring of rosemary

Based on the Herbal Rye which is vaguely in the Old Fashioned family.

Scaling up to make 40:

100 oz / 3.12 qt / 2.96 L rye
13.3 oz / 0.4167 qt / 0.4L Rosemary syrup
5 oz / 0.1563 qt / 0.15L Yellow Chartreuse

Shaken

Refreshing but far from simple. Balanced in the that is includes more than a little bit of everything. Smokiness and citrus tartness are balanced by sweetness and richness of aged spirits. This is the drink you want once the sun goes down at the end of all those hot days we never had. Think of it as smokey prickly pear Margarita.

1 oz Reposado Tequila
1 oz Mezcal (Del Maguey's Vida)
1 oz Lime juice
1⁄2 oz Triple sec, Cointreau
1⁄4 oz Demerara syrup
1⁄4 oz Prickly pear syrup

Mole bitters

Based on the Old Pueblo, itself a variant on a Smoked Margarita.
