Christina, bartender at Centre Street Sanctuary in Jamaica Plain decided to bring Gala apples to work one Sunday evening. Centre Street Sanctuary has been one of my favorite watering holes all summer and into fall.

Check out my previous review of dinner, here. I have had and written about numerous cocktails created by the phenomenal staff behind the stick!
On this day, Christina created the "Happy Sunday", a beautiful, autumnal cocktail with whiskey as it's base.
The "Happy Sunday" features Jack Daniels Honey, Cynar, muddled orange, Gala apple, and Bitterman's Commonwealth.

Juliette at Simpli Bar & Bites in Forest Hills made "The Blistered Hand" on the fly when I asked for a bourbon cocktail to include green chartreuse! It was brightly flavored with the herbaceous green chartreuse notes, and citrus undertones.

Yet another uber-talented local bartender, Devon Burroughs of Taberna de Haro in Brookline, has made a few special tipples for me when I interviewed Owner/Chef Deborah Hansen. A couple are so delicious, they are featured here.
 |
| Burnout- with Prichard's instead of the usual Four Roses- 2 oz, 1 oz Pedro Ximenez sherry, .5 oz lemon juice, 1 dash orange bitters, 1 dash of pimento dram, lemon twist |
 |
Champiñones rellenos de jamón (mushroom caps stuffed with ham) - A simple, tasty dish which paired well with one of Devon's signature bourbon cocktails (The Burnout).
|
The salinity of the pork plays well with the acidity of the lemon juice and the bite of the bourbon on the fore-palate. The delicate sweetness of rich Pedro Ximenex sherry arrives mid-palate. The mushroom caps compliment the introduction of sherry, dram, and orange bitters.
Stay tuned for next month's Featured Tipples!
Until then, Cheers!
