Interesting two-ingredient cocktails?

[weinoo]

Don't tell anyone I mentioned this, but I hear a favorite guzzle lately is a nice glass of cider invaded by a shot of Campari.

[Blether]

Champagne spiked with whisky.

[haresfur]

Whisky in a glass.

 

(actually I prefer a hand-thrown ceramic sake cup)

[JAZ]

Rusty Nail.

This, but with Becherovka. 

[Rafa]

PBR with several heavy dashes of bitters. 

[Hassouni]

I'm quite fond of a Beton, too (Becherovka and tonic, which sounds nasty but is not)

[thayes1c]

Death in the Afternoon (absinthe and champagne), followed by Fernet and cola the next day (the absolute best "recovery" drink).

[Rafa]

Becherovka + most things, honestly. 

 

Aperol and Campari Spritzes may count, though I prefer them with soda water to cut the Prosecco, and a dash of lemon to battle the sweetness.

This, but with Miller High Life.

 

ETA: Craig beat me to it.

Gin and bitters (Pink gin)

Campari and vermouth (Milano-Torino)

[EvergreenDan]

Aperol and Campari Spritzes may count, though I prefer them with soda water to cut the Prosecco, and a dash of lemon to battle the sweetness. 

Or even better, no Prosecco.

[Samir Chopra]

Mezcal and Apricot Liquor.  Give it a try!

[Blether]

Chilled Stolly and chilled kombu ponzu.  Especially in the heat, when your electrolytes might need a boost.  Non-alcohol version: iced water & KP.

 

And I wasn't joking about champagne (methode champenoise) spiked with scotch whisky (blend / malt).  There are lots of permutations, but where straight whisky can be challenging, champagne has a tendency to go glug-glug-glug and then you wonder where it went.  Put them together!

50/50?

[Hassouni]

Rakı and water.

 

Oh and ice, does that still count as two?

[brinza]

I once mixed Drambuie and Ramazzotti.  It was way better than it has any right to be.

[ChrisTaylor]

A local-ish bar serves a sarsaparilla/Fernet Branca combo. It works.

[Rafa]

I've had that in my locale as well. A nice vacation from Fernet/Coke.

[Rafa]

Awesome.

 

I know Gabriella Mlynarczyk at ink in LA infuses gin with kombu for her Dirty Martini, which is a similar idea.

[Rafa]

Fino sherry and Fever Tree tonic or bitter lemon, with optional lemon bitters. A nice variation on the Andalusian Rebujito (fino and Sprite). 

 

Grapefruit juice and Cardamaro. Actually, grapefruit juice and most amari. 

[scubadoo97]

Rakı and water.

Only if bourbon and an ice cube counts

[haresfur]

Black Russian - vodka and kahlua. Still my all-time favourite.

 

I do like a Brave Bull. And, no I don't count water in any of its physical states.

[Travis Jiorle]

I second the Brave Bull. I like Black Russians just fine, but replacing the vodka with white tequila really livens it up.

 

Another fine two-ingredient drink is the French Connection—equal parts Cognac and Grand Marnier in a snifter, neat. It's good after a meal when you want something sweet, but not cloying.
