More Boca Loca, More Jeffrey, More Cocktails

Didn't make it to Tales of the Cocktail? Neither did I. Seems to land on the same week I go to a fishing trip every year. (This year was remarkable for the fact that we managed to knock off a bottle each of Colonial Brasil, Cachaça Século, and the sublime Monte Alvão.)

In any case, the Intoxicologist was there:

While a traditional Caipirinha is always refreshing, [Boca Loca consulting mixologist Jeffrey] Morgenthaler’s Black Dog hit the spot; not too sweet, well balanced and straightforward enough for the home bartender to reconstruct without rounding up difficult to find ingredients.

Here you go:

Black Dog

• 2 ounces Boca Loca Cachaça
• 3/4 ounce Lemon Juice
• 1/2 ounce Simple Syrup
• 1/2 ounce Egg White
• 1 teaspoon Apricot Preserves
• 1 dash Angostura Bitters

Put all ingredients in shaker with ice.  Shake vigorously and double strain into cocktail glass or champagne coup.
