  • I made a couple versions. Agree, not bad w/o the rye. Maybe my fav version was as listed here adding dash of allspice dram and floating Tbsp of rye on top.

  • Very nice. Made with Letherbee 2014 Autumnal gin and Brennivin. — ★★★★
  • A showcase for aquavit. Nose is like a nice cosmetic toner. As the aquavit dominates here, the similar Not Waving but Drowning has proportions that are worth trying.
  • Tastes like a (not so) dry martini with caraway and aniseed flavor. Great variation.

  • Sweet and herbal, carried by acidic fruitiness. Better with a 2-4 dashes Angostura. Works with Campari too.

I love Jagermeister, and really wish it didn't have the stigma of being a shitty frat-boy shooter, because I think it has so much potential to make lots of really good cocktails. Unfortunately so many bartenders shy away from it for fear of being discredited due to it's recent history. Case in point: this legendary YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5QJ9i_o5vo 

I digress... I also like my cocktails very much on the dry and bitter. So I reduced the Benedictine to 1/2 oz (might do 1/4 oz Bene next time) and added maybe 1/4 bottle of Underberg...and HOLY SHMOKES BATMAN! I think this might be my new favorite!

Neither the recipe here nor in the NYT specifies whether to use green or yellow Chartreuse. The picture in the NYT would suggest yellow, but that is just a guess. Any one know? 

Hubajube commented on 4/27/2024:

Too sweet as is. I'll try again with less maraschino.
