Recipes
The Last Word
Gin, green Chartreuse, maraschino and lime in equal measure. Nothing else.
Painkiller
Dark rum, pineapple, orange and coconut cream, buried under fresh nutmeg.
Pegu Club
Gin, orange curaçao and lime, with two bitters doing the quiet work.
Caipirinha
Brazil's national drink, built rough in the glass. Lime and sugar muddled, cachaça, crushed ice.
The daiquiri
The margarita's twin, built on white rum. Same two, one, three-quarters.
The gimlet
The same sour poured for gin. Sharp, clean, three ingredients.
The margarita
Two parts tequila, one lime, three-quarters sweet. The same drink as the daiquiri in a different hat.
The Spaghett
A Miller High Life in a feather boa.
Hipster BBQ, a drink not a dinner
Vodka, lime and a salted beer chaser that tastes, absurdly, of a grill.
White port and tonic
Portugal's answer to the gin and tonic, and arguably the better one. Three things, two minutes.
Beeritas, no apologies
Limeade, lager and tequila by the pitcher. The margarita's lawless cousin.
Fish house punch, older than the republic
Rum, Cognac and a lemon-oil syrup in one bowl. Colonial Philadelphia could drink.
MSG martini
Savory, filthy and faintly illegal-feeling. Stir, don't ask.
