I don't have Scarlet Ibis, so I tried making this with a bottle of Zaya that I am regretting having bought (the only Trinidad rum I have.) The overwhelming vanilla flavor made this drink cloying. So if you have a recent vintage bottle of Zaya, I wouldn't try it in this drink. In fact, I'm not sure what I'd try it in.

Inspired. A real procession on the palet. 1 shot choc bitters worked for me. The whiskey does what no American whiskey could do. Well done.

  • Used Averna instead of Nonino and 1/4 oz Nocino instead of the bitters. Try Nonino next time and work on the Nocino amount (start lower and work up)
  • Made w/ old fashion bitters. Surprisingly light on the cherry taste for a drink w/ this name. Christmas spice from the Montenegro is more salient (the subbed bitters didn't help). Garnished w/ Maraschino cherry. Seemed right.
  • Good. A bit too sweet for my taste. Might be interesting to try with a less sweet amaro

Used High West Campfire as the base whiskey to bring in a little smoke.  Reduced Montenegro by 1/4 oz and added a Luxardo Maraschino cherry for garnish.  Excellent!


meltingUpwards commented on 7/14/2024:

I like this as an equal parts all 1oz/30cl.
Then 2 dashes of firewater bitters and 2 dashes cherry cacao bitters.

1⁄3 oz Bitters, Boker's
1⁄3 oz Cinnamon syrup (strong)
8 oz Ginger beer (Belvoir)
Instructions

Collin's, rocks, build, swizzle, straw.

Notes

Belvoir Ginger beer is very spicy and hot (not as hot as fentimans's)

i've tried also replacing ginger beer by belvoir ginger cordial which is even more strong and spicy (top with soda water)

That was also quiet good

  • As described. A riff on a Margarita. The Cassis adds little but the Benedictine is a nice addition.
  • A good showcase for the Boudier cassis.
