3/4 oz House Tropical Vermouth (*)
3/4 oz Velvet Falernum
3/4 oz Lime Juice
1 dash Bittermens Tiki Bitters
Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass.
(*) Infused with lemon peel and kiwi fruit. In a pinch, bianco vermouth or perhaps Lillet might work as a substitute for the sweet citrus notes. Tri2Cook left a comment that they had good success speed infusing Noilly Prat with lemon zest and kiwi via a cream whipper an N2O.

Update 4/25/12: A rather similar sounding drink just appeared on the Eastern Standard menu called the Chaconia. I am unsure if the recipe changed but the menu listed the ingredient as "tropical citrus vermouth, 5 Island Rum, Lime, bitters."

I enjoyed this. I tossed Noilly Prat, lemon zest and kiwi in a cream whipper and used n2o to extract the flavors into the vermouth. Hopefully that put me somewhere on the same planet flavor-wise compared to the original. Regardless, it was tasty.
Nice! I'm going to tack that on to the post. I didn't even think of N2O speed infusions.
I wish I had asked for a taste of the vermouth (I will next time) but it was towards the end of the evening.
