We continue to try out recipes from Ted Haigh’s excellent book “Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails”. Today we are making The Derby.

The Amen Corner
The Amen Corner, by Nick Brown is a riff of The Paper Plane. And it’s delicious!
Tailwind
The Tailwind has a rather unusual cocktail ingredient in it; Madeira. However, this turns out to be the shining star of this beautiful drink.
The Stark
The Stark is a delicious mix of bourbon, yellow Chartreuse and honey syrup.
Black Manhattan
The Black Manhattan, a riff of one of the world’s most famous and iconic cocktails.
Manhattan
Time for a true classic – The Manhattan!
Schnitzelburg
What we liked about the Schnitzelburg cocktail was its intensity. It’s a boozy drink, but with more tastes than just the strong bourbon.
Brooklyn Eagle
What’s great about this recipe is that it doesn’t call for any “unusual” bottles or other ingredients. Even if your home bar isn’t very well stocked chances are you’ll be able to shake this cocktail at home.
Vieux Carré
Does anybody remember our barrel-aged Vieux Carré? Well, it’s now out of the barrel after spending four weeks inside of it.
Tivoli
All the fun of a tivoli, but with an adult twist, is somehow captured in this cocktail, not so surprisingly called the Tivoli. It is an adult allegory of all the fun kids have at a tivoli. The drink is based around American bourbon, but also contains Swedish aquavit and some Italian vermouth and Campari.
