  • I swapped in Lillet Blanc for the white vermouth (which I didn't have), so I might reduce the Amaretto a tad to offset the added sweetness. Also, allowing the cocktail to sit in ice a little bit balances the flavors.
  • A little too sweet. Try 3/4 3/4 next time.

Too sweet, also a bit one dimensional. Might try it again with half the amaretto replaced with vecchio de capo.

  • I love old fashioned style drinks but this one is one of my favorites. The minty / bitter / alpine Braulio note mixes nicely with the sweetness of the bourbon.

More subtle than you might imagine. Turmeric was a bit faint so I upped it to 3/4. Very nice on the back of the throat.

galewskj commented on 1/17/2026:

I made my own tumeric/ginger syrup. I think the turmeric adds a subtle complexity to an otherwise straight-up margarita. I don't think more tumeric would be helpful.
