  • Will try with Cocchi Americano under the theory that the Lillet Blanc was the old formulation.

Made this with Kina L'Aero D'Or to try to get closer to old Lillet. I'm never quite sure about this much orange juice in sour-ish cocktails, and my trepidation was borne out here. Not altogether unpleasant, but I wouldn't make it again.

HallA commented on 8/22/2022:

Tried to do it with acid corrected orange juice and clearly needs another sweetener in that case. I suspect even naturally needs some. Not good with this plan.

Lightly curated: Changed instructions to avoid copyright infringement, added reference, moved credit to proper spot. Thanks!

HallA commented on 2/06/2022:

This is pretty impressive and makes the Godfather a much more interesting, complex cocktail. The sherry adds a nutty note without all the sweetness of the amaretto and the maraschino adds some lightness.

Mimosa

4 oz Champagne
2 oz Orange juice
Instructions

In a wineglass, add chilled juice and top with Champagne.

Notes

The recipe is "in a large wine glass, the juice of half an orange,fill with Champagne, stir and serve". Obviously, this can be adjusted to taste.

History

Perhaps a riff on a Buck's Fizz.

Very easy going - reminds me of a few other rye-based cocktails, but the bonal and raspberry go well together and make this one unique!

Shawn C commented on 9/19/2023:

A very nice, well-crafted combination. The dark cherry is there from the Heering, with the bitters providing a bourbon barrel essence to boost a basic mixing bourbon, while the amaro provides some bittersweet orange, clove, some root and spices. There is a lot of flavor to explore.
