  • Use Pisco from Peru when possible.
  • No Pisco - subbed JM rhum agricole; decreased Falernum by 25%; used combo of Regans & Angostura bitters (no Burlesque in-house). — ★★★★★
  • Good, a little sweet with fee brothers falernum.
  • highly accessible, very good non-traditional tiki

I knew this would be good, but this is a rare 5 star for me. Everything works together to create a wonderful complex libation to the tiki god. Pisco shines through and is enhanced rather than tamed by the fruits and spices.

Mexican Sunrise

1 oz Blanco tequila
1 oz Añejo tequila
1 oz Coffee (Cold brew)
1⁄4 oz Cinnamon Schnapps liqueur
3⁄4 oz Simple syrup
1 ds Bitters, Fee Brothers Aztec Chocolate
1 ds Bitters, Regans' orange bitters
1 ds Vanilla extract
1 pn Cinnamon
Instructions

Combine all ingredients except cinnamon in cocktail shaker. Shake. Serve up on a glass rimmed with cinnamon sugar or garnish with a dash of cinnamon.

Notes

Can sub the cold brewed coffee for a coffee liqueur to make this extra potent.

I used hot damn cinnamon schnapps (because its what I had on hand), but a cinnamon simple syrup would work here as well.

Tasters were split 50/50 on a sugar rim vs. dash of cinnamon on top.

  • Made with amere sauvage at a smaller proportion. Still too big for my glasses. Lime mist gentian drinks, grew on me. In both nose and finish I got a surprising ginny quality.

Dan commented on 5/10/2018:

I started to make this and then couldn't find the bottle of Strega I was sure I had. Substituting yellow Chartreuse, I thought it was a nice drink, if a touch sweet. The sweet aroma of pineaple doesn't need much sugar to carry it. I think Strega is pretty similar to Yellow Chartresue. Maybe 1/2 oz lime? Or 3/4 Suze and 1/2 Strega?
