  • Made with Bee's Knee's Peachy Keen. The spice notes were surprisingly understated.

It's rare I substitute everything in a drink, but made with Pierre Ferrand 1840, Kina L'Aero D'Or, BG Reynolds Falernum, R&W Peach, and Fee Bros. Lemon.  Did not work very well with these substitutes. Would cut back peach to 1/4 oz when using R&W, for starters.

Cocktailian commented on 3/22/2018:

Sven: yes, the Rothman & Winter is significantly sweeter and more of a true liqueur, whereas the Edmund Briotett is actually a creme de peche, so, although sweet, it is more of a clean, fresh peach flavor. Additionally, the glycerin base of the Fee Brothers bitters is going to give that candy component that the Dashfire bitters definitely do not have.

  • Subbed Catoctin Creek rye. I didn't have lemon...so maybe that would have helped, but I felt it lacked a little sumpin. I tried rubbing some rosemary on the rim which was fine, but still missing a bit, but it grows on you!
