  • 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.

  • A good drink but a little overworked. Averna AND Campari seems a little. Better w/ an extra ½oz lemon. — ★★★★
  • To try
  • Seemed to be a bit smoky with Luxardo Bitter substituted for Campari.
  • Used 1/2 lemon for a more tart balance. — ★★★★★
  • Friend gets chocolate finish. I get Angostura flavors. The ice in a coupe seems like a pointless gimmick to me. — ★★★★
  • I agree with the comments to go heavy on the cherry heering. Leave out the ice ball, too big for our coupes.

MOJO1229 commented on 12/28/2017:

Question: Shake with or without ice? If without ice, why not simply stir? Discard the lemon zest? Maybe drop it into the libation if so inclined, perhaps for a tad more flavor, but some color, for sure.

Regardless, the Panic Button is a great drink. Somewhat bitter, but also tangy. For the bourbon, I used Bulleit Bourbon. It's strong flavors enable it to butt heads with the Campari. The cherry flavor, however, suffers somewhat because of the choice of Bourbon and the Camari. I rated this libation at 4.0. Some might say 4.5. In any event, it's a drink to enjoy.

noksagt commented on 12/28/2017:

Shake with ice. I'd have thought this was implied by common style (in contrast to "dry shake"), but have edited the recipe for clarity.

Feel free to do what you want with the zest, but Dewberry Hotel doesn't use them as a garnish (and the recipe in Imbibe didn't even have the detail to express, though their YouTube video did).

MOJO1229 commented on 12/28/2017:

On my second effort, I used Maker's Mark for the Bourbon, and a skinny "fat" 1/2 oz Cherry Herring, and a skinny 1/4 oz lemon juice. Overall, the drink had a more balanced flavor. In short, I recommend using Maker's Mark or Buffalo Trace for the Bourbon, and a tad more than 1/2 oz for the Cherry Herring. I, personally, prefer slightly less than the called-for 1/4 oz lemon--but that's a matter of personal taste. I still rate Panic Button 4.0, even with the above mentioned changes. With a flip of the coin, however, I might go to 4.5.

noksagt commented on 12/29/2017:

From the video, it seems that the Dewberry Hotel uses Four Roses (standard yellow label). When I tried it, I used Old Gran Dad 114.

MOJO1229 commented on 12/28/2017:

A nice after dinner drink, but it'll do before dinner also. The Benedictine comes through enough to drown out the Nocino's flavor, however. I used 2 dashes of the Mole; a nice outcome. I strongly recommend this libation, and rate it 4.0. An orange twist might be worth trying.
