With a particular interest in house-made syrups and infusions, it’s not uncommon for Jelani Johnson’s original tiki drinks to incorporate elaborate components, like quatre épices syrup or a coconut-orgeat blend. Here he takes a more straightforward approach, calling on his “favorite tried-and-true flavor combo.” Building off a base of Jamaican rum, he adds the ginger and lime components of a classic mule, along with a good dose of fresh pineapple juice and a finishing touch of Angostura bitters.

Italian City
Rome With A View
Michael McIlroy’s Rome With a View falls somewhere between an afternoon appropriate Collins and an Americano. Where an Americano is built with bitter Italian Campari and sweet vermouth, McIlroy swaps in dry vermouth, and, like a Collins, he built it with the refreshing structure of spirit-citrus-sweetener-soda. Low-alcohol and bracingly bittersweet, it nearly conjures warm afternoons looking out over an ancient Italian city.

Sloe & Fast Americano Cocktail Recipe | PUNCH
Ryan Chetiyawardana notes that sloe gin is best when made with enough time to allow the flavors to develop, as the tart fruit infuses with the botanical spirit base. A microwave and sweeter, lower proof Campari and vermouth are his way of “cheating the process,” to extract depth and add fruitiness and a sour pop to a batched cocktail.

Milano Torino
First served around 1860 in Gaspare Campari’s café in Milan, this drink—often shortened to “Mi-To”—takes its name from the birthplaces of Campari (Milan) and Vermouth di Torino (Turin) and represents the bittersweet blueprint for aperitivo classics like the Americano and the Negroni.

Punch House Spritz
A simple riff on the classic spritz formula originally built to highlight Lini’s fruity, irresistible lambrusco rosato, this has become a spring-summer staple for both of us. Gentian-tinged Cocchi Americano plays the bitter role, while sour grapefruit acts as a foil to is sweetness, simultaneously pumping up the volume on the lambrusco. Built in a pitcher or portioned out in a wine glass, it’s a drink that embodies the spritz philosophy of being both beautiful and simple.

Midnight Marauder
In Joaquín Simó‘s spin on the classic Negroni, smoky mezcal replaces the usual piney gin, while gentian-bittered Bonal subs in for the traditional sweet vermouth and Cynar, an artichoke-driven amaro, takes the place of the expected Campari.

Dante's Bicicletta
The Bicicletta is a bitter spritz-like drink of mid-1930s origin made with Campari, dry white Italian wine and club soda. Dante’s version gets a lemon wheel and slightly reduced measure of Campari.

Dante's Negroni
The Negroni has gained something of a cult status in recent years, ushering in its fair share of strong opinions. In a possibly controversial move, bartender Naren Young loses the classic equal-parts ratio in favor of a more gin-heavy drink that dials back on the Campari and sweet vermouth. “It’s a little bit cleaner, not so sweet, not so saccharine,” he says. As for his choice in spirits, Young sticks to classic benchmarks, like Campari and Martini & Rossi.

The Giostra d’Alcol (the carousel of alcohol) was a cocktail that was created in Turin in the 1930s by painter and sculptor Enrico Prampolini. In his book Futurist Mixology, Fulvio Piccinino describes the drink as a shuffled version of the spritz, made with Campari, Barbera d’Asti wine and cedrata. Naren Young’s more modern rendition, which is sweetened with a touch of honey syrup, forgoes the classic cheese and chocolate garnishes in favor of a simple orange slice.

Garibaldi Spritz
Jose Cordon’s Garibaldi Spritz marries the simplicity of the classic Garibaldi with the refreshing familiarity of a bubbly spritz, with a focus on fresh California citrus and a custom bitter blend that allows for more control of the bitter and sweet components of the drink. “The Garibaldi is such a simple cocktail, but the fact that it really relies on the quality of the ingredients is what makes it so beautiful,” says Cordon.

Doppio Spritz
Joe Campanale’s Doppio Spritz was the winner of our recent blind spritz tasting. Making use of two different aperitivos—one classically Italian and one from Brooklyn—his formula is fairly straightforward, but omits prosecco in favor of tonic water for an extra gentian kick.

Canelli Spritz
This “kitchen sink” spritz from Natasha David is an adult version of the only soda her mother allowed her to drink growing up, a DIY concoction made with berry concentrate from the health food store mixed with sparkling water. “The spritz should be an easy, effortless cocktail, something you throw together from what you have so that you can entertain your friends,” says David, noting that fresh raspberries can stand in for the liqueur, and another amaro can be substituted for Ramazzotti.
