Very good - herbal. The botanicals really come to the forefront.

HenryPaul commented on 8/26/2023:

Really tasty; the Suze was hidden well.

yarm commented on 9/20/2024:

What was the original recipe and name of this drink before juice was added? The Punch article doesn't make it clear.

noksagt commented on 9/20/2024:

In French Moderne, Audoux said it was still equal-parts without the lemon juice and it is implied that the name did not change with the addition of juice.

The woody Suze is way too upfront for me. Gin is lost.

I thought that this was astoundingly good for how simple it is. I'll definitely make again. Edit-on second try, added a scant barspoon of allspice dram. Also delicious.

  • Replaced the Fernet with Sfumato Rabarbaro, resulted in a much more balanced and subtle flavor.
  • I like where this one is going, but the grenadine/fernet combo gets a little cough-syrupy for me. Worth a try though.

4 stars with the addition of 0.25 oz St. Germain

Caveat Emptor

1 oz Rum (Plantation OFTD)
1 oz Sherry, Lustau East India Solera (See notes for a substitute sherry)
1⁄2 oz Bénédictine
1⁄2 oz Cynar
1 ds Bitters, Bittermens Xocolatl Mole
1 rinse Campari (Glass rinse)
1 twst Grapefruit peel (As garnish)
Instructions

Stir with ice, strain into a Campari-rinsed cocktail coupe, and garnish with a grapefruit twist.
(*) An Amontillado or Oloroso will work here in a pinch but will come across as a little drier and lacking light raisiny notes. Lustau's cream sherry is a mix of Oloroso with a little Pedro Ximenez.

History

I recalled Maks Pazuniak's Warning Label from the 2011 Beta Cocktails book and was inspired to riff on it. I subbed out the 151 proof Demerara rum and Punt e Mes for Plantation OFTD and Lustau's East India Solera Sherry, respectively, for starters. I also split the Cynar with Benedictine as drinks like the Filthy Rich and Chachita were still fresh in my mind. Finally, instead of the grapefruit bitters, I utilized mole bitters and replaced the grapefruit notes by swapping out the lemon twist with a grapefruit one, and I kept Maks' original Campari rinse intact.

SmokeyMoses commented on 7/15/2022:

Huge fan of the Warning Label but this variation skewed a tad sweet for me, would consider either paring back the Benedictine or using a drier sherry.
