  • The flavors all melded together very nicely
  • Made w/ Appleton and Dolin Rouge. Strong and lovely. Unpeeled pear, some floral flavors. The recipe looked a little “kitchen sink”, but this has a distinct and balanced character.
  • Substituted suze for the yellow chartreuse.
  • Light on Fernet. Strong drink

Comments

A great drink, but one that is heafty in taste; after all, look at the ingredients--rye whiskey (100 proof), anejo tequila (80 proof), and yellow chartreuese (80 proof). The other ingredients add their own distinctive tastes, even though only a small amount is used (except for the sweet vermouth). Fortunately, all of these ingredients blend together well. But for me, the lynch pin of this cocktail was the orange twist (I used a fair amount); its taste overcame much of the bitterness that would have been there without orange twist. I believe All Good Things makes one of those excellent before dinner cocktails.
