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

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.

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.
