  • surprisingly smooth for as boozy as it is. Lemon rub on glass is a great compliment.
  • Branca is a bit too strong for my taste. Would go shy of 1/4 oz in the future. Strong.

  • Aperol instead of Campari — ★★★★
  • Used 2 drops absinthe and 3/4 lime and Gosling's black. Pretty tasty although not a huge fan of licorice.
  • Solid. 4.5.
  • Made with Myer's Dark and El Dorado 8 split. Licorice of absinthe too strong in initial sips but settled down. Really good. — ★★★★

The Death & Co drink calls for Gosling's Black Seal rum rather than an aged rum.

Craig E commented on 2/07/2022:

Curated to fix the unit of absinthe. Though source website had it at 1/8 oz., the book cited by the website had it at 1/8 tsp. Thanks @bkemp1984 for the notice.

  • Absinthe plus
  • The peaty Scotch (I used Laphroaig 10) took over, particularly erasing the ginger liqueur. Might be worth trying a split base with blended Scotch.

  • Made it with Lemon Hart 151 to see if it would work. High proof was masked thoroughly. Wish the basil came through more strongly, even tho I pounded the heck out of those 3 leaves with big cubes in the shaker.

  • One of several Ramazotti inflected mezcal cocktails, including the El National. Very nice slow Friday evening drink.

MOJO1229 commented on 9/12/2017:

Wake up to "Goodnight Vienna!" What a wonderful drink, despite what one might think is an incongrouous mixture of alcoholic ingredients. In reality, they are incredilby congruent--almost beyond belief, until you sip on this delightful concoction. I mean, Grand Marnier and Ramazzotti! Come on; who in their right mind would mix them together? And then to throw in some Mezcal! Get me a head shrinker!

But pull yourself together, mix the drink using the given recipe, and you'll end up with an incredible before dinner drink, or a very satisfying late evening drink. I rate this libation at 4.5. Come on--mix, stir, strain, and then drink up--but do it responsibly!

Mixin In Ansley commented on 4/16/2023:

Boosted ramazzotti and grand mariner by .25/ea for a more balanced drink for my palate with mezcal- got better.

Biff Malibu commented on 12/21/2023:

Mezcal is slightly overpowering - dial back to 1 oz
