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.

  • Hard to go wrong. The raspberry is surprisingly subtle for a cocktail with this name.

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.

3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
1 Pickled pepper (as garnish)
Instructions

Shake and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a pickled pepper

Notes

Two or three peppers soaked in about 200mL of Everclear should infuse sufficiently in about 10-16 hours. Sample occasionally to ensure your infusion does not get too spicy. Strain and dilute with water to taste. Experiment with other peppers too!

Curated slightly to express pepper infusion better and scale from parts to a reasonably-sized drink.
