A very nice, well-crafted combination. The dark cherry is there from the Heering, with the bitters providing a bourbon barrel essence to boost a basic mixing bourbon, while the amaro provides some bittersweet orange, clove, some root and spices. There is a lot of flavor to explore.
Stir with ice and strain into a chilled champagne coupe and garnish with a sprig of thyme.
Can also be served "down" with a block of ice and a lemon twist.
Named after a traditional Scottish folk song.
Shake and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a pickled pepper
Two or three peppers soaked in about 200mL of Everclear should infuse sufficiently in about 10-16 hours. Sample occasionally to ensure your infusion does not get too spicy. Strain and dilute with water to taste. Experiment with other peppers too!
Shake on ice. Strain. Serve up with Rainier cocktail cherry
Aguardiente is an anise-flavoured liqueur derived from sugar cane, popular in Colombia. Lighter and less sweet than Sambuca.
Combine gin, lemon, syrup, vanilla, and egg white/aquafaba and shake with ice. Strain back into shaker and then dry shake for 30 seconds. Strain into a chilled coupe and garnish with several drops of lavender bitters.
Stir all ingredients with ice. Serve up. Garnish with orange peel and/or Luxardo cherry.
Not as sweet as one might think.
A great cocktail for bourbon lovers. I had to scramble for ingredients. Lacking Elijah Craig Bourbon (it got finished off last November) I reached for Woodford Reserve. And lacking R & W cherry liqueur, I grabbed for Luxardo liqueur. Together, these ingredients made this wonderful libation. But, I suspect that Black Forest Cocktail would have been in the 4.0 range had I the called for ingredients. As it was, I rated Black Forest Cocktail 4.5 with what I could pull down from my shelves. A great cocktail, regardless!
Build in a double rocks over ice and stir.
This particular Cava is very high-acid and salty. Your mileage may vary.
