Tight Rope

1 1⁄2 oz Mezcal, Del Maguey Vida
1⁄2 oz Rye, Rittenhouse 100
1⁄4 oz Amaro Nonino
1⁄4 oz Cinnamon syrup (Homemade)
12 dr Bitters, Bittermens Xocolatl Mole
12 dr Bitters, Angostura
1 twst Grapefruit peel (Discard)
Instructions

Stir. Strain over big rock in OF glass. Garnish with grapefruit oil from the twist. Discard.

Notes

A Monte Carlo riff, or a Mezcal Old Fashioned with benefits. You decide. The small amount of Rye brings all the spice notes to the front and really amps up the cinnamon. The Nonino offsets the overall sweetness with it's light bitterness and adds a delightful herbal backbone.

Dan commented on 8/13/2017:

I subbed 1/2 oz Becherovka for the cinnamon syrup. Maybe was supposed to be sweeter, but as I made it, it was more in the vein of a Martini. An interesting, spirit-forward cocktail. I would like to try it with the right syrup if I ever get a chance.

Fransos commented on 8/22/2017:

Hi, Dan. The use of Becherovka sounds like an interesting variation, skewing the libation in a drier direction. I need to try that :-) The original recipe was more in the vein of a Monte Carlo, splitting up the 1/2 oz liqueur measure with cinnamon bark syrup. If you decide to try it as written, I would be happy to hear your thoughts. For the cinnamon bark syrup I used the recipe from the Death&Co book. Cheers!

HallA commented on 8/14/2022:

Dangerously sweet for the booze content. Would be careful to not make this with high fructose grenadine (or take it down) as this is inclined to lean sweet but with the passionfruit and lime there's nice bite there with layers of booze. Very nice,

  • Excellent combination, with herbal flavors coming together with Campari. Used 1 1/4 oz Barbancourt 8; agree it needs a rum with a stronger presence. The amari are a bit sharp to me. Next time might explore replacing a portion with vermouth (?)

  • People thought it was solid. Personally was a bit too alcohol forward for me.
  • Double the cardamom worked for me (full disclosure - no Stiggins so used Jamaican rum - suppose I just made this up). Also added a 1/4 applejack for fruitiness. *update* finally got Stiggin's Pineapple. Much better!
