Delicious. I'm not sure if the name warrants having to measure 3/8 of an oz 3 times, but the flavor of the drink is spectacular enough to keep making this one

  • 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.

1 ds Bitters, Scrappy's Grapefruit
1 twst Grapefruit peel
Instructions

Stir, strain into old fashioned glass with a large cube or sphere. Garnish with grapefruit peel.

Notes

Uses three amari from Chicago-based CH Distillery (Chi-town represent!), which aren't available nationwide as far as I know. Closest substitutes are probably Cynar 70 for the CH Amaro, 50/50 split of Campari & Zucca for the Bitter Dog and Fernet Branca for the Fernet-Dogma.

History

Named after a lyric from The Stooge's classic punk song "Search and Destroy"

  • Works with Zucca subbing in for Cynar.
  • Good. I've seen other recipes (Difford's) for 1 2/3 silver cachaca, .5 vermouth and .5 cynar. I think I like that ratio better. Also have subbed in Ramazzotti with nice results - careful on that though, can be a tad sweet.

  • Pillars of Society — Sweet vermouth, Cynar, Curaçao, Absinthe, Lemon peel
  • L'Iguana — Jamaican rum, Haitian Rum, Cynar, Bonal Gentiane Quina, Lemon juice, Salt, Mint

We went with 2oz cachaca, 1/2 each cynar, and sweet vermouth. Still too sweet for me, improved half way down by adding a drop of coffee bitters, a dash of angostura, and an ice cube. The bottom was subsequently delicious with the garnish marinating in it.

Notes

A riff on Carrie Cole's Adelita [which is mezcal-free and calls for Reposado].

Dan commented on 9/28/2017:

An unusual and interesting drink. Much lighter than one might think. Might be interesting with more spirit-forward ratios.

I agree with Dan's comments. This would benefit from being a little brighter-- maybe the lemon twist needs to be more substantial than the one I used
