  • Kind of interesting mix of sweet and spicy, but I wanted more of a bass note. Prefer the Pumpernickel.

Used one dash orange and one dash peach bitters, for lack of the proper bitters.


lesliec commented on 10/08/2016:

Promising. I'll try again but with .25oz (or less) falernum.


Kclawsonstone commented on 7/01/2020:

I concur with the comment of too sweet - will reduce the falernum in the future. Tasting notes: mint, bubblegum, lemon. Looking forward to playing with this one.

  • I did halve the Absinthe. We'll see
  • I'd cut the absinthe in half on this, only use 1/8 oz. It's so powerful that 1/4 definitely hijacks this. If you love licorice/anise flavor, great. Otherwise, cut it.
  • Nice. Worry about the St. George absinthe taking over was mostly unfounded. — ★★★★

MOJO1229 commented on 5/04/2017:

I'm surprised that I like the "Quill" as much as I do. I thought that with the absinthe I wouldn't rate the libation any higher than 2.5. The truth be told, however, I rated the "Quill" at 3.5. But doing so took some doing on my part: (1) I used a solid gin--Liberator gin, which is made by Valentine Distilling in Detroit; (2) I used a great absinthe--absinthe verte by St. George; and (3) Most surprising, I did not use one of my favorite sweet vermouths--Antica Formula--instead I used (with my fingers crossed) Cinzano Rosso because of its pronounced sweet and fruity flavors. And of course I threw in some Campari for good measure.

What I got was what I hoped for: a Negroni-like cocktail, somewhat sweet and somewhat bitter, with the absinthe flavor perceptible but in the background. I think the Cinzano accounts, to a great degree, for the success of my efforts. For sure, this is a libation for those who like the traditional Negroni AND who like to experiment. Go for it!

Zachary Pearson commented on 9/09/2021:

OK, hi everybody. This is actually a Savoy cocktail, and as usual, is in parts: 1/3 each gin and vermouth, 1/6 each apricot brandy (read liqueur) and triple sec. Since their parts are set to a little over 2 ounces, 1/3 is about 3/4 oz if you want to be historical - though it's a small drink. I'm going to edit this tomorrow to 1:1:.5:.5 if there are no complaints. Thanks, Zachary


Zachary Pearson commented on 9/10/2021:

Curated this - brought it into line with the Savoy specs - this is a gigantic drink as written, with 2 1/4 oz gin and vermouth and 3/4 each apricot and triple sec. Thanks, Zachary

  • Express a grapefruit peel over the top; it adds a lot! Initial impression is that it is complex but strong and feels imcomplete. That being said, the more I drink and it opens up, the more I enjoy

MOJO1229 commented on 9/26/2016:

<br />I was skeptical about this cocktail. After all, it was very heavy on the Chartreuse side. But the one rating of a 5 said I had to try it. I anticipated the smokiness from the Mezcal, but I was pleasently surprised by the combination of both green and yellow Chartreuses. The recipe did not call for a garnish of any sorts, but I added a lime twist, which made the cocktail more complex and more interesting.

The Disco is not Everyman's drink, but drinkers who enjoy a drink with a smoky flavor or Chartreuse will take to "The Disco Ball." However, I believe the drink will profit from a garnish of sorts, but I don't know--at this time--what the garnish should be. Bitters? Orange Twist? Lemon Twist? Grapefruit twist? Lime twist? Explore and let others know what you discover, please. Although I enjoyed this drink, the ingredients give a heavy taste, which is hard to overcome without a bitters or garnish of sorts. I rated this drink at 3.5. Imbibe, but drink responsibly.


lesliec commented on 9/20/2021:

A very intetesting (good!) flavour mix. Lemon zest does it no harm.


yarm commented on 5/12/2023:

Misattributed to Robert Simonson. It's from Ford Roberts at Grain and Grape Exchange in Jacksonville, Florida, where the shot is on tap as published in Kara Newman's 2016 Shake. Stir. Sip. book. Simonson adapted it from Kara's book and credited Kara but not Ford Roberts.


Craig E commented on 5/13/2023:

Thanks @yarm. Since this purported to be the "authentic" recipe, I not only fixed the creator field, but also corrected the measure to 1/2 oz. each (was 3/4) and specified a shot glass as serving vessel (was a coupe).
