HotClive

1 1⁄2 oz Whiskey (Moonshine)

3⁄4 oz Prickly pear liqueur (Priqly)
1⁄8 oz Sherry vinegar (Columela Sherry Vinegar Solera 30)
4 ds Cranberry bitters
1 Egg white
Instructions

Shake all ingredients very vigorously with ice then strain into a frozen coupe glass.

Notes

The sherry vinegar. I found this particular "high performance" version a few years ago and it really makes a difference. You don't want "vinegar." Rather, you want a very flavorful Sherry Vinegar.

After several goes, we settled on 1½ Bourbon, 1 Cocchi Torino, ¼ Fernet Branca, ¼ Bénédictine.

Hubajube commented on 5/13/2024:

Excellent with RL Searle and Scarlett Ibis. I assume any drier rum like Xaymaca would sub fine for the Ibis. I almost get a coconut smell and taste from it interestingly.

  • I would have rated this 2 stars as written - by increasing the Suze to ~ 1/4 or 1/3 of an ounce, the drink was better.

drinkingandthinking commented on 7/09/2025:

Everything is working in this and no one upstages the other. Suze is timid but adds necessary bitter. Cointreau does some heavy lifting as a supporting role. Cocchi adds some surprising spice. Cognac is clearly the star but is generous to the rest of the cast...

1 1⁄2 oz Cognac
3⁄4 oz Cherry Liqueur (Luxardo)
1⁄8 oz Herbal liqueur, Chartreuse (Green)
4 ds Cranberry bitters
Instructions

Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into a frozen couple glass.
