  • Balanced, fruity, tart, and excellent. Honestly though, I'm not sure this is really worth all the effort or the extensive ingredients list. "Overelaborated" as in the description.
  • Replaced pineapple syrup with 1/2 pineapple juice, 1/4 rich ss — ★★★★★

Duffuser commented on 3/31/2019:

Liked this one better with ¼ oz cinnamon syrup instead of the split sweetener. Didn't expect the 2 types of bitters to be necessary, but the cinnamon notes in the Bitter Truth make a noticeable difference and the Angostura brings it all together. The two citrus peels are a nice touch, but it's fine with just the orange.

Notes

A completely different drink from the one posted by DrunkLab.
Cinnamon bark syrup made by steeping 1/2 ounce of cassia cinnamon sticks with 1 cup water and 1 cup superfine sugar. Heat, then let sit overnight before straining thru cheesecloth.
The cognac and cinnamon would make for a lovely holiday drink.

The recipe overshoots the house-blended "Tiko-Tivo" aperitivo slightly (it calls for 1 oz of pre-batched at these same ratios of Campari, Cappelletti, and Leopold Bros).

  • A wonderful thanksgiving cocktail. Because it's not thanksgiving without turkey! Sub Luciano for CioCiaro.
  • Used Sazerac rye and Elijah Craig bourbon. Enjoyable, notes of banana.
  • Made with Rittenhouse, Evan Wms. Single Barrel, and Noilly Prat. Peanutty rye was strong, other flavors muddle together.

Ukrainian Negroni

2 oz Gin, Tanqueray
1⁄4 oz Campari
1⁄4 oz Herbal liqueur, Jeppson's Malort
1 twst Orange (Orange coin/peel flamed)
Instructions

Stir; strain; coupe. Garnish by flaming the orange slice/disk over the top by squeezing the essential oils out while igniting them with a lighter.

Notes

Description in the Chicago Reader: "Unlike Europeans, who have a large selection of challenging herbal spirits to choose from, Americans—'raised on Ho-Hos and Coca-Cola,' as Maloney puts it—haven't learned to appreciate the bitter."

History

Entered in Chicago Reader's "Great Malort Challenge" in 2009

Nintenking commented on 11/29/2017:

Its a drinkable drink, but I can't imagine choosing this over a normal Negroni. One issue is the sweet vermouth ration, it is far too large and overpowering. The sweet vermouth is 3 times the amount of bitter. I prefer a ratio of 1 to 1 sweet vermouth to bitter in my normal Negroni.

 

This drink is unique because it uses Malort but at 1/4 oz in a 4oz drink I find its inclusion unnecessary. You got very little of the distinctive Malort flavor, which I personally think is a shame.


Shawn C commented on 10/08/2024:

The drink is actually a pretty good variation on the Negroni if one adjusts the volumes to contemporary levels (and overall alcohol content.) A spirit forward 4 oz drink (original recipe) is too high of an alcohol content, especially compared to a 3 oz equal parts Negroni which is moderate in overall potency. So I used 1.5 oz Tanqueray, 1.25 oz Carpano, 1/4 oz Campari, 1/4 oz Jeppson's Malort with a flamed orange peel and found it a more subtle variation on a Negroni. The proportions and volume work, providing an intermediate potency, and the Malort has an intensity/character that carry through into a long bitter finish, with no residual sweetness.

I will update the original recipe for the flamed orange peel (not an orange slice) that was actually called for.
