  • Probably more like a 4.5, but it's rare to taste something that tastes so unique/original (in a good way.) Subs: Old Duff Genever, Plymouth Sloe, and Dashfire Ancient Chinese Secret bitters.
  • Well balanced. 4.5 if I could.
  • Subbed Heyman's Old Tom for genever, simple, and used Aalborg and a Luxardo cherry. A nice and original combo of flavors. On a second go 'round, went lighter on curacao and aquavit, heavier on gins. Friend tasted Mike and Ikes.

  • I like to bruise the sage leaves a bit with a muddler first. Double strain onto fresh rocks. I also use a little less syrup. Superb cocktail. Try Pusherman if you like this. — ★★★★★

Dissertation

1 oz Amaro, Amaro di Angostura
1 oz Sweet vermouth, Vya
1 oz Rye, Michter's
1 oz Cognac, Camus VS
4 ds Bitters, Angostura
Instructions

Stir all ingredients in a mixing glass over ice until chilled. Strain into a rocks glass with a single ice cube. Garnish with lemon peel.

Notes

A study of simple substitutions? Hardly. The bittersweet interplay between Amaro, whiskey and vermouth remains, but the choice of Amaro and addition of cognac change the storyline. Where the Boulevardier is rich and intriguing. Bitter Amaro Di Angostura and softening cognac result in a stunningly balanced cocktail worthy of a doctorate.
