  • Made it with Old Tom- will try it with Genever next time to compare. Nonetheless, great drink — ★★★★
  • Used Ransom Old Tom, 1/4 Tempus Fugit creme de cacao and dash Bittermens mole bitters with 3/4 CioCiaro to approximate Meletti, K&L select barrel Elijah Craig for the bourbon.
  • One of the best uses of Fernet I've ever had - where the Fernet is actually complementary / matched. Strong drink, but excellent. I used Ransom's Old Tom and Bulleit.

Higher math was always a stumbling block, so I was hesitant to try "Silvio's Algorithm." Until I looked at the ingredients, that is! I knew from the beginning that this drink was the Drinker's Drink. And the proof was in the pudding, as it were.

I used Bols Genever Amsterdam gin--barrel-aged as specified, Angel's Envey, a good, but not well known bourbon--this batch distilled in port wine barrels at 86.6 proof, a skinney Fernet Branca, Aperol, and Amaro Meletti. And lemon zest, to finish it off. This is an incredibly smooth drink. The Meletti is there, as is the Aperol. Both provide a slight but necessary bitterness. The Genever gin sits quietly in the background, giving room for the bourbon to speak up, but softly so. And the lemon zest is a necessary must, to round out the flavors.

There is a lot of alcohol in this drink, so plan accordingly. Two of these says get an alternate driver! But this drink is like a potato chip; it's hard to stop with one. So enjoy, but be careful. I rate "Silvio's Algorithim at a well-deserved 5.0.

Used St. George Dry Rye Reposado for fear that an Old Tom might be too sweet.  The result felt a little too astringent.  Would try Genever next time around.

Curated this. Rewrote instructions and notes to avoid copyright. Added date. Edited the bitters - maybe in 2014 those were hard to find, but they're pretty available today. Thanks,  Zachary


VALENCIA COBBLER

2 3⁄8 oz Amontillado Sherry, González Byass Viña AB
Instructions

Muddle cherry tomatoes in base of the shaker. Add other ingredients and fill up with ice. Roll it until chilled and fine strain into a Cobbler glass / Wine glass or Water Goblet (if any available for your desire). Fill up with crushed ice. Garnish with an Orange wedge, a cherry tomato cut into half, a Celery stick and a Rosemary (just flaming before served).

Ps: This drink should be accompanied with Iberico to create the Umami taste of the drink. Enjoy!

Notes

It tastes authentic with a mouth-feel of the Umami flavor of the drink. Try to order it for your girl friend next time at the bar!

History

Inspired by the beautiful Port of Valencia which are the key! La Tomatina is a festival that is held in the Valencian town of Buñol, a town located in the East of Spain and near by the Mediterranean; in which participants throw tomatoes and get involved in this tomato fight purely for entertainment purposes. Since 1945, it has been held on the last Wednesday of August, during the week of festivities of Buñol. Cheers,

I've seen this listed in a couple different places with slight variations (e.g. no lime); likely derived from the Seapea Fizz, which is essentially the same thing with a lot less absinthe.

Zupa, I like the unapologetic use of bold ingredients in the drinks you've posted.  This one reminds me a bit of a more aggressive "The Man Comes Around", one of my favorites posted here at KC.  Didn't have Norseman Fernet (looks to be a local product in Minnesota), so I've tried this with Fernet Branca, CH Fernet Dogma and Letherbee Fernet, all to good effect.  Love your drink names too, which would be right at home as song titles for some prog math metal album.
