A Spontaneous Libation for your Consideration

Hoots Mon

Posted by Dan. Created by Savoy Cocktail Book, Harry Craddock.
1 1⁄2 oz Scotch
3⁄4 oz Aromatized wine, Cocchi Americano (or Lillet or Bonal Gentiane Quina)
3⁄4 oz Sweet vermouth (or Punt e Mes if using Lillet)
Instructions

Stir, stain, straight up, cocktail glass.

Notes

Use Punt e Mes with Lillet, or substitute Bonal Gentiane Quina or Cocchi American for the original Lillet. Carpano Antica works well for the sweet vermouth.

History

Originally calls for Lillet Kina, a version more bitter than today's Lillet.

Amari & bitter friends: an update

Prior to The Great Site Update of Christmas 2014, we published a list of amari hidden under a link on the recommended brands page. We have put some time and thought into our bitter friends, and have split the list into our top dozen or so recommendations, plus a list of other amari that are available.

Some amari are easy to find; others ... not so much. There are hundreds of amari that aren't even imported to the US. Look for amari at larger liquor stores, or specialty stores in the Italian section of your city.

    Is there a mL/cL bug in the entry? This is over 30 oz of ingredients, so decreasing by a factor of 10 might make it reasonable (30/25/20/15).
