  • Perhaps fat 3/4 oz Beefeater gin and/or skinny 3/4 oz Meletti to make it a little less sweet. A great cocktail.
  • I'm a sucka for anything with Meletti. Made with Knob Creek 100
  • I got coconut Life Saver from this. Cinnamon emerges pretty strongly too. For the concern about sweetness, this works on the rocks too.

  • Not for the faint of heart. Amazed I had all the ingredients at the same time. Unique, but hard to love. I added a pinch of salt which helped. Lemon also worked well. UPDATE: It grows on you as you work your way down.

  • Untried as of yet.
  • Made with Beefeater and Norseman Olympia. A little celery flavor pops up among the flowers and herbs.
  • Milder than Last Ward
  • The very rare attempt to improve on an classic that actually delivers. More balanced than the Last Word and, honestly, I think Elderflower is just a better choice than Maraschino.
