  • Reduced maraschino to 0.5 oz and added 0.75 oz lime juice.
  • little too sweet
  • I add 3/4 oz lime and reduce Maraschino to 1/2 oz. This recipe deviates from the original, but as revised is a great drink. It is rather like a spicy, slightly bitter, more interesting Margarita. — ★★★★★

As the creator of the Hoskins cocktail, may I suggest that if you're going to change the base spirit and the primary modifier you might as well rename it and make it your own. :) Looks good -- I'll give it a try.

Name changed from Hoskins Cocktail (Amer Picon-less version) to The Mexican Hoskins Cocktails.

And the creator should be correctly attributed to Butters, who is a member here (a.k.a. PB & Foie).

It's good, but has an insane amount of maraschino. I'd like to try it again but with the original Hoskins level of 1/2 oz.

I put this in a rocks glass because it's so sweet
