  • I used a barspoon of allspice dram and then a small dash of Regan Orange bitters.. not sure it's the same but it's a nicely balanced cocktail.

Zachary - it is sweet, but I don't find it overwhelmingly or cloyingly so. The 'spicy-ness' and bitter elements seem well-balanced with the sweet from the Jager and the orangey notes from the Aperol. One note, though - I didn't have the bitters, so I subbed a small amount of SE Allspice dram and one ds of Bitter Truth Creole Bitters. I posted as I'm curious to explore interesting cocktail uses for Jagermeister.

Pangolindo commented on 5/29/2019:

Aperol and anise from jager combined well. Pimento bitters is essential, and add a little something allowing to tame the sweetness. I tried to add after a few sips 1/3 oz wray and nephew overproof: Not concluding! It tamed sweetness but taste too!

 

What about using amaro abano from luxardo which is dryer than montenegro ?

Do not have it...

  • This is a really good cynar drink. Somewhat bitter for the uninitiated.
  • Obviously Cynar forward, but the other flavors come through and complement well.
  • Cynar somewhat overwhelms the other ingredients (not that I'm complaining too much about that)

Obviously on the sweet side, but it makes a good digestif.

Lee-Stumper

1 1⁄2 oz Aquavit, Aalborg
1⁄2 oz Lemon juice (clarified)
1⁄2 oz Grapefruit juice (clarified)
1⁄2 oz Rich simple syrup 2:1 (Light Karo Syrup (star anise & clove infused- see note))
Instructions

Add ingredients to a mixing tin and stir aggressively to dissolve the Karo syrup into the drink. Add ice and hard shake until well chilled. Strain into a chilled single martini glass (4.5oz). Garnish with a star anise pod.

Notes

Gently warm 4oz of light Karo Syrup with 1 star anise pod and 3 whole cloves for ~10 minutes, making sure to keep it below a simmer. Strain and store.

History

I wanted to make a cocktail using a very non-traditional and currently taboo sweetener: Karo corn syrup. The richness and salinity of the aquavit played perfectly into this drink, and the spice addition added depth; clarifying the citrus added a sharpness and a bonus being visually cleaner, and the drink ended up with a luxurious, almost glassy texture to it. Really incredible!

Zachary Pearson commented on 3/20/2018:

How would you go about clarifying the juices? I've used gelatin to clarify stock before, but I've heard good things about agar. Could you mix the juices evenly then clarify the whole thing so you don't have multiple processes going at once? Thanks,  Zachary

Cocktailian commented on 3/21/2018:

Zachary: I used the old egg-white technique (a "gel technique" that works because the acids of the juices cause the whites to curdle and glom onto solid particles to filter out)--that process also gets similar results with agar as well if you want to keep it vegan. If you don't have the money for a centrifuge you could just gravity-clarify (let the juice filter out naturally over a few days or so, though risking oxidation). And you can totally blend the juices to make it easier.

Pantry Raid

1 1⁄2 oz Brandy, Copper & Kings
1⁄2 oz Aromatized wine, Lillet Blanc

1⁄2 oz Peach liqueur, Edmond Briottet
2 ds Lemon bitters (Dashfire)
Instructions

Stir all until well chilled. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a cinnamon stick.

Notes

*Dashfire's lemon bitters are clean, and succinct with a fresh lemon flavor and minimal bitterness.

sevyryelsdorn commented on 3/21/2018:

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!
