History
"Alex Smith, bar manager at Honor Kitchen & Cocktails, says that The Corsican is the East Bay bar's most popular cocktail."
From other users
- Spices, orange
- Made with Pyrat XO. Accessible though strong. Sweet and orangey. Often boozy + orangey = medicinal, but likably not here. The falernum is ingenious key here.
- Made one of these with Maker's Mark, A.H. Riise Danish Navy Rum, and Martini sweet vermouth. It was excellent. I'll be trying other variations. I think the whiskey/rum/falernum combination is excellent.
- Good, but a tad sweet. Blanc vermouth instead?
- Used Bulleit 10, Mt. Gay Eclipse, Vya Vermouth. Very nice.

This is really a great drink. To me, it's like the mirror image of a Martinez. Very three-dimensional.
