Sazerac

45ml rye whisky

2 drops saline solution (2:8 salt:water by weight)
Absinthe

Extra spray of absinthe for good luck

Picked up a new rye that I wanted to try, so a sazerac felt reasonable. Might halve the simple next time.

Topgallant

50ml gin
30ml red vermouth
1.25ml strega
1 dash angostura

Stir with ice
Strain
Express oils from lemon peel and garnish

I have a hard time telling if the strega does much in this cocktail, but the people in the comments on difford's guide seemed convinced. Overall very nice. I used another Hendrick's gin here which I think worked quite well, though maybe a more standard gin would let the strega shine more.

22.5ml red vermouth
22.5ml cherry liqueur

Shake with ice
Dubbel strain into glass

Today we get an unconventional photo location. A very nice cocktail, if I made it again maybe I'd try to decrease the sweetness a tad.

Good and simple. I Used a pink gin to try and make it more pink, alas it turned out more salmon.

Frank O'Hara

60ml gin
10ml strega liqueur

Stir with ice
Strain
Garnish with lemon twist

After almost falling into a coma from all the Easter food and snaps, I only had the energy to make this two ingredient cocktail. Quite nice, but I wanted some more sweetness and added 5ml of rich simple and a spray of absinthe which I think improved it.

30ml lemon juice
15ml rich simple syrup (2:1)
15ml olive oil
7.5ml licor 43

I expected the olive oil to be much more noticeable, but it just makes the drink a little silky. Very nice overall

Obituary

60ml gin (from the freezer)
10ml dry vermouth
5ml absinthe

Stir with ice

Garnish with olive

A great martini variation for anyone who likes absinthe. Alas I forgot to put my gin in the freezer, and I can tell that was a missed opportunity, but it's still very good.

Revolver

60ml bourbon
20ml coffee liqueur
2 dashes orange bitters

Stir with ice
Strain
Express an orange peel through a flame and garnish with the peel

The original recipe called for 15ml coffee liqueur, and with a different liqueur that might be better, but I only had kahlua and found that the coffee taste disappeared too much.

Añejo almond old fashioned

60ml tequila

Fire & Brimstone

2 chili slices
45ml mezcal
15ml earl grey infused cointreau
20ml limejuice
2 dashes orange bitters
7.5ml agave syrup

Muddle chili in shaker
Shake all ingredients with ice
Strain over ice
Garnish with chili and lime peel

My chilis were too mild so I muddled extra seeds, and the original recipe called for lemon, but I only had lime. It turned out quite nice. Like a margarita, but predictably with added smoke and sting.

Bee's Knees

60ml gin
22.5ml lemon juice
15ml honey
10ml orange juice

I used skedemosse gin and some honey from the island of Öland which gave the cocktail a much more botanical character than usual, with a lovely taste of wild thyme.

Also little brother stole my spot on the couch today

Quite sweet, very tomato-y. Definitely greatly affected by the tomatoes used, I would have preferred some slightly more sour ones

Perfect for when the hot weather makes you into a suffering bastard
