Sweet but good, but sweet. Orange bitter is very important. Made with Grand Marnier, half Eagle Rare and Dad's Hat, angostura orange...

Maybe better on the rocks ?

Craig E commented on 11/15/2018:

Yes, rocks had occurred to me as a remedy for the lip-coating sugariness. I'll give it a try and consider changing the recipe. Thanks for trying it!

  • I'm breaking in MissM's taste buds. After the first sip, she screwed her face up. I got her to have two more sips and asked her for a rating. She proffered a 3! Then downgraded to 2 when I went through the criteria. — ★★★

Subbed Trader Vic’s Kona Coffee Liqueur for the St. George, and it came out quite well  

 

Unknown & Disguised

3⁄4 oz Mezcal
1⁄3 oz Spiced Rum
1 oz Herbal liqueur, Yellow Chartreuse
1 oz Amer Picon
1 oz Lime juice
3 spg Coriander
Instructions

Shake, strain, coupe

Notes

Mezcal Light smoke + spiced rum + coriander are a real good match.

Despite the ratio, Chartreuse is nearly undetectable.

Maybe 1/3 more Mezcal would be better.

  • Rittenhouse, Antica, Cherry Heering, & St Elizabeth is what I had on hand & I loved result. Slight nuttiness was nearly overwhelmed by the dram; will do the lightest of rinses next time. If you like this try Black Lodge too. — ★★★★★

elvisomar commented on 3/20/2022:

I made this using an apple and cardamom infused applejack and an 86-proof whiskey—it turned out delicious, but my specs threw the sweetness off. I added an extra half ounce of rye, and I love it.

Dry and Fruity

1 3⁄4 oz Bourbon, Bulleit
3⁄4 oz Dry vermouth
1⁄3 oz Fig syrup (Dried fig)
1⁄3 oz Grapefruit juice
3 ds Bitters, Angostura
Instructions

STIR, strain, coupe.

Garnish with 2 maraschino cherries on pick

Notes

Grapefruit and dry vermouth allow the drink to remain dry

History

On Holidays: I asked for a stirred drink. That's why i got.
I thougth it was quiet original to introduce juice in a stirred drink.

That was pretty good and well balanced for an improvised mixture.
