  • A wonderful thanksgiving cocktail. Because it's not thanksgiving without turkey! Sub Luciano for CioCiaro.
  • Used Sazerac rye and Elijah Craig bourbon. Enjoyable, notes of banana.
  • Made with Rittenhouse, Evan Wms. Single Barrel, and Noilly Prat. Peanutty rye was strong, other flavors muddle together.

Ukrainian Negroni

2 oz Gin, Tanqueray
1 1⁄2 oz Sweet vermouth, Carpano Antica Formula
1⁄4 oz Campari
1⁄4 oz Herbal liqueur, Jeppson's Malort
1 sli Orange
Instructions

Stir; strain; coupe. Garnish by flaming the orange slice/disk over the top by squeezing the essential oils out while igniting them with a lighter.

Notes

Description in the Chicago Reader: "Unlike Europeans, who have a large selection of challenging herbal spirits to choose from, Americans—'raised on Ho-Hos and Coca-Cola,' as Maloney puts it—haven't learned to appreciate the bitter."

Its a drinkable drink, but I can't imagine choosing this over a normal Negroni. One issue is the sweet vermouth ration, it is far too large and overpowering. The sweet vermouth is 3 times the amount of bitter. I prefer a ratio of 1 to 1 sweet vermouth to bitter in my normal Negroni.

 

This drink is unique because it uses Malort but at 1/4 oz in a 4oz drink I find its inclusion unnecessary. You got very little of the distinctive Malort flavor, which I personally think is a shame.

Roma Borgorock

Converted from metric to closest English equivalent. While the original build instructions indicate shaken, conventional wisdom would dictate this is a stirred drink (which is the way I prefer it).

Love this drink! Have not tried it with the new Zucca recipe, though. The Roma Borgorock is one of the reasons I stocked up on the old recipe before it went away. And yes, have always made it stirred.

  • Very nice. Subbed .25 Cynar 70 and .25 Gran Marnier for the 3/8 CioCiaro. Used Dewars. This makes a pretty big drink...could reduce total volume a bit.
  • Excellent. I just did 1/2 and did not bother with 3/8 nonsense.

  • If omitting the egg white, reduce the orange flower water and add barspoon of syrup. Probably need the syrup even if using egg white as it would make this drink even drier than as written.
