  • Made with Lucano which probably isn't the right amaro, but with Laird's bonded, Cocchi VdT, and Tempus Fugit (and lemon twist), this is quite tasty. Strong Froot Loops on the nose. Sweet for sure but pleasant.
  • Note to self: don't limit to serving as a nightcap. 4.5 if I could.

Tasty, pleasant melange of flavors. Somewhat sweet, but expertly balanced by the bitter & fragrant alpine amaro. A somewhat smaller volume cocktail.

  • Subbed regular mezcal and arbol-infused simple. Less raw heat from chipotles probably works better.

  • Fennel was a bit lost so I added 1/2 teaspoon of Herbsaint which helped.

Super-solid. It's got rich, complex flavor. Used Bushmills Irish whisky instead of Japanese whisky and luxardo cherries.

Since it's a Painkiller riff, I'm assuming Coco Lopez sort of sweet since it's the only real sugar source to balance it all.

Shawn C commented on 3/01/2024:

Thanks. From what I can tell, "coconut cream" has far too often been used interchangeably with cream of coconut. Smuggler's Cove's "coconut cream" recipe has probably contributed a lot to the confusion. Ironically, the SC recipe is not nearly as rich in coconut fat as a coconut cream would be, or even Coco Lopez or Coco Real cream of coconut.
