My favorite Mississippi John Hurt tune played on my Chuck Lee fretless Deep Hollow banjo.
The Boulevardier is:
-1oz Knob Creek Bourbon
-1oz Ransom Sweet Vermouth
-1/2 oz Campari
PREPARATION
Mix together over ice and strain into glass and garnish with an orange peel.
"Rise When the Rooster Crows" is a great tune recorded by the great Uncle Dave Macon. I like the way the lyric imagery feels lighthearted sometimes and heavy others. Also, the idea of a duck chewing tobacco. The Rooster cocktail is a variation of the Red Rooster I found from the Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar and Grill (they add Lychee Puree which I did not have). Enjoy!
RECIPE
– 2 oz Nikka Coffey Japanese Whiskey
– ¼ oz St Elizabeth Allspice Dram
– ½ oz Lemon Juice
– ½ oz Ginger Simple Syrup*
PREPARATION
In an empty cocktail shaker, add all above ingredients. Add ice and shake. Strain into glass filled with fresh ice. At Blue Ribbon, Hor serves it in a rocks glass, garnished with lime zest and a maraschino cherry.
I'm playing a 12 String banjo with 7 sympathetic strings. A beautiful instrument made by Noel Booth. I love the way is sounds when played slow and I like "Nancy" that way too. Pairs well with a Negroni:
-1 oz Big Gin barrel aged gin
-1/2 oz Ransom Sweet Vermouth
-1/2 oz Campari
PREPARATION
Mix over Ice and garnish with and orange peel. Note: Usually there is a full ounce of vermouth and campari, but I like to cut them back.
