  • Amaro nonino
  • Made it with Beefeater 24. Bright up front, dark bitter finish; intriguing drink. Resembles a Last Word in effect.

  • Really well balanced. A nice gin would make it stand out.
  • Citrus and rosemary is a great combo. The rosemary is more subtle than than the name implies. Maybe I should make a stronger syrup?

Great drink. Would be 4 stars for me, I think, by omitting the ango. With the cynar, aperol, and botanicals, I don’t think the drink needs the bitters; and they might overtake those other flavors in the drink.

Pretty good balance between bitter, sweet and sour. I feel like the Pimm's is a bit lost though, could easily be a 4 with a bit of tinkering

L'argent de poche

2 oz Rye, Bulleit
1⁄2 oz Cynar
1⁄2 oz Sweet vermouth, Carpano Punt e Mes
2 ds Cherry Bitters, Apothecary Bitters (Spiritfire (cherry cedar))
1 rinse Absinthe, St. George
Instructions

Combine, stir with ice, strain into absinthe-rinsed chilled glass.

Notes

The parental original "West of Lyons" calls for bourbon (but I prefer rye in this; the spicier, the better) as well as Kina L'Avion D'Or. Subbed sweet/bitter vermouth to accommodate my omission of gum syrup. Also replaced vanilla with cedar notes in outstanding bitters from Vancouver.

History

A home version attempt at the lovely "West of Lyons" by the brilliant crew at Sessions at the Presidio (SF), but named instead for Truffaut's 1976 gem filmed in Thiers, Puy-de-Dôme. Sounds like Game Set Match.
