  • Left out maple. Might be worth trying with Balzam subbed in for Averna.
  • Too sweet, as written. Go to 0.25oz as suggested in the other notes. Otherwise great. Reminds me of a Rosita.
  • I dropped maple syrup to .25. Still pretty sweet, but good mix of flavors.
  • Nice but very sweet. 1/2 as much maple might be better. I guess it depends on the syrup quality.
  • Absinthe, chartreuse?

Used maraschino and fernet from Leopold Bros., homemade cacao, Xocolatl bitters, and Fundador brandy. Very good stuff. This brand of fernet overpowered some, would prob do 3/4 and/or increase the maraschino.

  • Made it with Old Tom- will try it with Genever next time to compare. Nonetheless, great drink — ★★★★
  • Used Ransom Old Tom, 1/4 Tempus Fugit creme de cacao and dash Bittermens mole bitters with 3/4 CioCiaro to approximate Meletti, K&L select barrel Elijah Craig for the bourbon.
  • One of the best uses of Fernet I've ever had - where the Fernet is actually complementary / matched. Strong drink, but excellent. I used Ransom's Old Tom and Bulleit.

MOJO1229 commented on 4/19/2017:


Higher math was always a stumbling block, so I was hesitant to try "Silvio's Algorithm." Until I looked at the ingredients, that is! I knew from the beginning that this drink was the Drinker's Drink. And the proof was in the pudding, as it were.

I used Bols Genever Amsterdam gin--barrel-aged as specified, Angel's Envey, a good, but not well known bourbon--this batch distilled in port wine barrels at 86.6 proof, a skinney Fernet Branca, Aperol, and Amaro Meletti. And lemon zest, to finish it off. This is an incredibly smooth drink. The Meletti is there, as is the Aperol. Both provide a slight but necessary bitterness. The Genever gin sits quietly in the background, giving room for the bourbon to speak up, but softly so. And the lemon zest is a necessary must, to round out the flavors.

There is a lot of alcohol in this drink, so plan accordingly. Two of these says get an alternate driver! But this drink is like a potato chip; it's hard to stop with one. So enjoy, but be careful. I rate "Silvio's Algorithim at a well-deserved 5.0.

Used St. George Dry Rye Reposado for fear that an Old Tom might be too sweet.  The result felt a little too astringent.  Would try Genever next time around.

Curated this. Rewrote instructions and notes to avoid copyright. Added date. Edited the bitters - maybe in 2014 those were hard to find, but they're pretty available today. Thanks,  Zachary

VALENCIA COBBLER

3 Cherry tomato
2 3⁄8 oz Amontillado Sherry, González Byass Viña AB
1 oz Triple sec, Cointreau
1 ds Celery bitters, Bitter Truth Celery
Instructions

Muddle cherry tomatoes in base of the shaker. Add other ingredients and fill up with ice. Roll it until chilled and fine strain into a Cobbler glass / Wine glass or Water Goblet (if any available for your desire). Fill up with crushed ice. Garnish with an Orange wedge, a cherry tomato cut into half, a Celery stick and a Rosemary (just flaming before served).

Ps: This drink should be accompanied with Iberico to create the Umami taste of the drink. Enjoy!

Notes

It tastes authentic with a mouth-feel of the Umami flavor of the drink. Try to order it for your girl friend next time at the bar!

History

Inspired by the beautiful Port of Valencia which are the key! La Tomatina is a festival that is held in the Valencian town of Buñol, a town located in the East of Spain and near by the Mediterranean; in which participants throw tomatoes and get involved in this tomato fight purely for entertainment purposes. Since 1945, it has been held on the last Wednesday of August, during the week of festivities of Buñol. Cheers,
