I recently went to the Violet Room and had a muddled cucumber martini. I would love the recipe. I think it was cuc, mint, lime muddled and lavender or rose simple syrup. It was the favorite drink at the table by far!!!

It sounds like the Juliet & Romeo at the Violet Hour. Toby Maloney graciously provided the recipe over in the Home Made Violet Hour thread (where this post should probably be moved).

Any chance someone has the recipe for the Holy Mole?

I've never had it, but here's the menu description:
Holy Mole (Herradura Reposado, Dolin Sweet Vermouth, Averna, Chocolate Bitters)

And, my best guess...

2 1/4 oz Herradura Reposado
1 oz Dolin Sweet Vermouth
+1/4 oz Averna
A dash or two Mole or Chocolate Bitters

Stirred & Strained...maybe a flamed orange peel or a maraschino cherry?

ETA: Had this drink tonight at the Bradstreet Crafthouse in Minneapolis. It was made with a different tequilla, but it looked to be a simple 2:1:1/2 ratio, stirred and strained over a large rock, garnished with a swath of grapefruit peel expressed and inserted in the drink.

Here is this one. So good on a hot summer day.

Part & Parcel
2 oz Luksowa Vodka
.75 oz St. Germaine Elderflower
.75 oz Grapefruit Juice
.25 oz Lime Juice
.50 oz Simple Syrup
5 drops Grapefruit Bitters

Glass: Coupe
Garnish: None
Ice: None

Shake. Strain. Serve up.

This drink is much better with Plymouth gin. So if you can't find Luksowa...

The grapefruit bitters are tough as they are homemade. Try a big fat twist of grapefruit peel.

Cheers,
Toby


If you have not made this drink at home do so as soon as you can! Wow, I just made it and it's wonderful.

Working on something like a cocoa Manhattan for the chocolate party for which others have already helpfully suggested snacks. Was thinking of going subtle with bourbon, chocolate bitters, and boozy cherries, but am curious about a float of some kind of chocolate liqueur. Is Godiva yucky?

Though I haven't drank it in a while, I like Godiva liquor.

I'd suggest a Black Manhattan...with the chocolate bitters in lieu of Angostura. Averna has some chocolaty notes and should play nicely.

2 ounces bourbon/rye
1 ounce Averna
1 dash bitters
Boozy cherry

If you need a cocoa element beyond the bitters, replace a 1/4 of the Averna with some creme de cacao (Brizard or better, the cheaper stuff is dreck). It's been a long time since I tried it, but I recall Godiva tasting pretty artificial.

Anyone have any guesses on the ratios for Zucca Sour (Zucca Amaro, Pineapple, Egg White, Amaro Nardini)? I had one of these this past weekend and it was incredible. Also, any suggestions for alternatives to the amaro nardini?

Here is a link to view The Violet Hour blog partyondamen.wordpress.com whose website seems now inaccessible.

The site contains recipes for various cocktails and punches.

I accessed the blog through archive.org, that to my understanding, is a website that periodically visits all the websites of the internet and takes a kind of snapshot of it.

Anyone know the recipe for the Tattooed Floozie or Woolworth Flip?

Had both of those this weekend—yet again—and they remain two of my faves.
