I was having a cocktail of cognac, apricot liqueur, and lemon juice, and thinking we could have a game. Make a drink using one of the ingredients in the previous drink. So to start - a drink with cognac, apricot liqueur, or lemon juice.
One more rule: don’t repeat the chosen ingredient - so Ruaidhrigh brought the lemon juice from the first drink into the amaretto sour - next drink can’t use lemon as the one ingredient brought forward.
Water with a dash of lemon juice.
Amaretto Sour: Amaretto, lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg whites.
I want you see the drink that follows with the egg whites.
If we’re looking for egg white and no lemon juice, I’d go for a Pisco sour!
- 2 oz Barsol Pisco Quebranta brandy
- ¾ oz lime juice
- ¾ oz simple syrup
- 1 egg white
- 4 drops Angostura bitters grated nutmeg
The rules say you only have to include one ingredient, so this one counts!
Looks good, too; I’ll have to try this one. I love drinks with egg whites; they’re so… mellow.
Pisco Punch, Asada!
2oz Pisco
1/2oz lemon
1oz roasted pineapple syrup
Well damn, you posted this just a couple minutes before I finished posting mine. This sounds delicious though!
Ok, I will use yours for this one. So from:
*_Is it cheating if I use a drink I mostly got from you and posted an earlier version of here? Lol So I’ll re-use the lemon juice. 2oz of Knob Creek Bourbon (or choose your favorite, I’m not the boss of you) 1oz of Drillaud’s raspberry liquor 1oz of lemon juice 1oz of Amaro Montenegro
Shake with ice and pour, then use a smoke with a Cocktail smoker (I’ve found apple wood chips works really well with this).
It’s makes for a great spring and early summer cocktail, refreshing and a bit sweet but not overly so._*
I take the Amaro Montenegro and make an adjusted Paper Plane riff:
2oz Evan Williams bottled-in-bond
1oz lime juice (since lemon is out of bounds)
1oz Amaro Montenegro
1/2 oz Aperol, 1/2 oz Campari.
Shake and pour into chilled coupe.
ETA: I made it! It’s delicious!
I have a bottle of Pisco we used to make a dessert, now I have something else to make with it!
Let’s see…I don’t have ideas with the Pisco… Having lime juice, simple syrup and angostura bitters in the same cocktail is making this tougher than I expected.
Wanting to represent Kentucky, I want to take one of those and pair with bourbon, so let’s do a Kentucky Mule.3 ounces of bourbon
3/4 ounce of lime juice
Around 8oz of Ginger beer (Fever Tree has a decent one for Mules)
I would have gone for something a bit more complex, but I came up blank on a bourbon Cocktail that didn’t have both simple syrup and angostura bitters.

Ah no - looks great and yes one ingredient is the rule but @mpg is the last in the chain, you need to reply to their drink!
Oh fair enough, I got the thought out first and looked at the comments after.
