  • This drink is GIANT. Fills a rocks glass and is not a particularly weak drink.

Lightly curated: fresh-squeezed juices are presumed at KC.

HallA commented on 10/28/2024:

Really good. As noted it's a big drink but nicely balanced, the combination of gin, bianco vermouth, cinnamon and the sloe gin make a nice floral note that stands up to the acidity of the lime.

Shawn C commented on 10/29/2024:

Waaay oversized drink for the spirits involved. It will come in around 1.6+ oz of ethanol depending on the gins used. I would cut it back by about a third to get the serve into a more responsible pour that will also fit into a cocktail glass rather than requiring a double rocks (without the rock.)

yarm commented on 10/29/2024:

Half would be more reasonable and close to 3 ounces (1, 1, 3/8, 3/8, 1/8 = 2 7/8 oz).

Shawn C commented on 10/30/2024:

Half would work, but it results in the inconvenient 3/8 and 1/8 oz measures. I did a 1/3 reduction test using 1.5 Tanqueray, 1.25 Hofland sloe gin, 1/2 Dolin Blanc, 1/2 lime juice, 1 barspoon (teaspoon) cinnamon syrup. This worked well in my standard Nick and Nora glass. The overall flavor is good but the drink is a bit sweet; so if I make it again I will cut the sloe gin to an even 1 oz to further simplify/adjust the recipe. The 1 oz sloe is more in line with the ratio in the D.T. Sloe that was the drink's inspiration.

Its Yummy!. I tried force-carbonating some Chardonnay I had lying around. I think I put in a bit too much lemon and sugar for the wine, which was a bit sweet and acidic on its own.

Ovid's First Century Myth

1 1⁄2 oz Gin (Russell Henry Hawaiian White Ginger)
1⁄2 oz Aromatized wine, Cocchi Barolo Chinato
1⁄4 oz Orange chocolate liqueur, Distillerie de Biercée Orangine
2 ds Bitters (Five Watt Coriander Bitters)
Instructions

Stir, strain into a chilled spirit glass, and garnish with an orange twist

Notes

*the Russell Henry Hawaiian white ginger gin is atypically sweet and bold in its Botanical profile, obviously with the ginger. I'm not sure of other applicable substitutes (possibly the vernal gin from Letherbee or Portobello Road).

**The coriander bitters from Five Watt are very true to name: bright, light and slightly tropical

History

The long of it... I was intending on making an Adonis cocktail and saw the Cocchi Barolo in the pantry and it sent me on a wildly different path. There are some elements of the Adonis here, but there are elements of others like the Negroni and even to some degree the Martinez

  • 2:1 Rum to other ingredients
  • Made with 3yo Havana Club. A good slightly herbal daiquiri-esque tiki drink. IBA suggests it should be 1oz rum and ½oz everything else although I think it's likely better with more rum (at least 1½ and maybe even 2oz).

mako commented on 11/02/2019:

The IBA suggests the proportion is 2:1 Rum:Others rather than 3:1 in this cocktail. Other recipes I've found suggest that it's 2oz rum instead of 1½. I don't see a lot of support for the garnish either although some sort of fruit wedge/slice seems is not unusual.

Craig E commented on 11/02/2019:

The increase in rum is acknowledged in the Notes. I've curated to add a link to the IBA recipe and to tag this as an altered recipe.
