Shawn C commented on 3/25/2024:

Very nice! The punch of the ginger pairs well with Larceny bourbon here, making for a full flavored Tiki sour without rum. I used Lustau Oloroso, and while the darker sherry notes are subtle due to the small quantity, they do add positively to the body.

Port Berries Sour

2 oz Light rum (Infused with tonka bean and coconut)

1⁄3 oz Ruby Port
1⁄3 oz Simple syrup (Cherry, pomegranate, cranberry)
Instructions

Shake, strain, coupe

Garnish with Fat triangle shaped rim of toasted and sweetened shredded Coconut and grated tonka on the same part

Notes

I did not get info about the "berries"syrup.
Felt it was tart and round at the same time.

for the infusion :
5oz rum+ 5 oz Coconut powder/ shredded+ 2 tonka bean for 2 weeks.

I always prefer strong infusion to temper with more rum if needed

  • Good drink, but don't overdo it on the dram.
  • Boozy tiki style drink! I wasn't sure the rye would play well, but did fine. I made 2nd time with a little chinese 5 spice. Very tasty.

coquina commented on 4/06/2020:

I found the maraschino to be quite dominant at the listed proportions and ended up adding more of everything else to balance it out. The salt is a nice touch although 1 pinch was enough for me. 

mako commented on 6/08/2021:

I can't find any information about this cocktail or the Smokey Bravo at the link (which may well have been updated) or anywhere else on the web. Am I missing something?

noksagt commented on 6/09/2021:

Using the Wayback Machine to see the recipe when this was posted, it appears that Smokey Bravo is similar, with mezcal instead of gin 3/4 oz lime, only 1 pn of salt, and is garnished with a lime wheel. It is credited to Andy McClellan of Seattle.
