  • Quite a good drink! I like the somewhat similar Clearly Aloe'n more. The Cocchi Americano + Bianco Vermouth feels redundant.

Kingdom of Savoy

3⁄4 oz Herbal liqueur, Pernod
3⁄4 oz Coconut syrup (see note)
1⁄2 oz Amaro, Nardini
1⁄2 oz Lime juice
1⁄4 oz Branca Menta
1⁄4 oz Simple syrup (2:1)
Instructions

Quick shake, strain over crushed ice in a Belgian beer (Duvel) glass, pineapple fronds and mint sprig garnish.

Notes

To make the coconut syrup, take 4.5 cans of coconut milk, 1/2 quart of coconut chips, toasted and 15 oz of water. Bring the coconut milk and water to a simmer, turn off the heat, and add the coconut chips. Cover and let steep an hour. Strain and weigh the liquid. Add twice as much demerara sugar by weight to the liquid and stir to combine. As a note, the linked recipe omits what to do with the chips.

  • Quite good but probably not worth the effort. Didn't infuse the the b/vermouth w/ tarragon. The result was... not that different than Cocchi Americano, honestly.

  • sherry overwhelms - cut in half
  • Out of bourbon so used Rittenhouse. Sherry dominated. To counter it, I added .25 oz Cynar & .5 oz more rye. Yum! I prefer the drink to be a bit bigger anyways, since it's mostly lower proof spirits. Can't get "I'M A MF'IN SPY BOY!" out of my head now tho.

  • Made with homemade gin-based Umeshu. Better with a traditional one, I'll bet and maybe another bitters. In any case, this is a great long drink.

Campari in Paradise

Instructions

Shake all ingredients with ice for 15 seconds, strain into coupe. Garnish with lime twist or lime wheel.

Notes

Alternate build: use 1 oz lime juice instead of the .75 oz lime/grapefruit split, which will result in a more bitter, Campari focused drink

  • Really nice tiki drink. Made this because we didn't have the allspice dram to make Three Dots and a Dash, but still wanted to make a drink that uses passion fruit pulp. — ★★★★★

Excellent, herbal, funky, fruity. Used passion fruit syrup cause I had no pulp and it's still great.
