History

“Cinco de Mayo” was inspired by the namesake battle of the world-renowned celebration - the Mexican army's 1862 victory over France. The drink shows off a bloody war that Tequila is base for their nation,Wenneker Strawberry is the love of Mexican and raspberry gives the freshness for color of the blood with the red bell-pepper to give a bit of spicy when France failed. The lemon juice is to give the right balance of a losing battle and agave syrup is just to compliment the flavor of sweetness when they won. The Swizzle Masters Competition decided to make the drinks live at the Vinexpo in Bordeaux so Dubonnet Rouge is to add extra flavors and more complex for the drink. Then the Mezcal and a pinch black of pepper can be added for the smokiness of the war as well as the people who dead in the battle.

MOJO1229 commented on 5/03/2017:

I hesitated making this libation, as I lacked the black mission fig bitters, but because "Springtime in Manhattan" is a variation of one of my favorite cocktails (the traditional "Manhattan"), I pressed on. Given the grapefruit forward overtones of this libation, I used 6 drops of Bittercube's Jamaican #2 bitters and 6 drops of Dead Rabbit's Orinoco bitters as a substitute for the black mission fig bitters.

The black mission fig is a favorite fruit of mine, so I have a hunch how the fig bitters would taste in this drink. What I used, I'm sure, did not even approximate the fig bitters; however, the bitters substitutes proved to be suitable to the task, and I would recommend them if you, too, lack the black mission fig bitters. I easily rated "Springtime in Manhattan" at 4.5. How would you rate this libation? And do you have any suggestions to replace the fig bitters?

VeloVagabond commented on 8/26/2019:

Curious if the Brooklyn Hemispherical fig bitters have a strong cinnamon component. Can't find them where I live, so I made it with a local source, AZ Bitter Labs Figgy Pudding. I found the cinnamon in their bitters overpowering for this drink.

Did .75 elderflower and a slightly scant Chartreuse. Maybe .75 and .5 respectively would be better, even as much as I love Chartreuse
