For the drink of the day at Loyal Nine two weeks ago, I was inspired by the Hoop La cocktail. As I described in that post, it appears in the Savoy Cocktail Book under three other names including the Hey Hey and a nod to Algonquin Round Table member Frank Sullivan. I might have also considered its relation to Last Word variations especially those that were a bit softer with Yellow Chartreuse instead of Green. To mimic the brandy base in the Hoop La, I utilized St. George's Spiced Pear Liqueur and opted for a more herbal base spirit of gin. I had tested the recipe out the week before with a regular as a 3:1:1:1 recipe, and he thought it was a bit thin but delicious. He reordered it as an equal parts number and rather enjoyed it. For a name, I stuck with the Hoop La theme and combined the Hey Hey with another Algonquin Round Table member, Heywood Broun, to form the Hey Heywood!

I'll have to try this. My "Pearish the Thought" cocktail is essentially a cross between this and the Hoop La cocktail you linked. It's 0.75 Copper & Kings Brandy, 0.75 St George Spiced Pear Liqueur, 0.75 Cocchi Americano, 0.75 Fresh Lemon, 1 barspoon dem syrup, 1 dash absinthe. I originally made it with Copper & Kings at Backbar, but I'm sure it would work with most cognac/brandies. Not sure if a substitute would affect the need for the bs of dem.
