  • Tiki, but not too juicy. Kind of like a gin jungle bird.
  • Meh...not bad, but not much more than the sum of it's parts. Campari dominates.
  • Cotton candy cocktail Reduce Campari to .5 oz Try replacing gin with plantation pineapple rum

  • 4: for using Rhum Barbancourt, 3 if Guyanan rum is used (too carameley) - lesson: don't use carameley rums. Standard Mount Gay is a 4.
  • I am feeling the stirred rum cocktails. This one is solid but unsurprising. Made with Havana Club 7.
  • Used Angostura 1824

Pangolindo commented on 5/17/2020:

Very nice. Plantation overproof and cointreau. A bit sweet. But these are not the proper ingredients.

4 stars and will try again.

HallA commented on 8/27/2020:

Three and a half star.  Agree with avoiding caramely rum.. I did it with barbancourt and still a bit too sweet.  Would probably dial back the cynar to 3/4.

elvisomar commented on 2/27/2022:

This is among the best stirred-and-served-neat rum cocktails I've ever had. For the rum component I used my infinity bottle of aged rums (mostly a blend of Barbados and Venezuelan rums). Cynar and rum is a wonderful combination.

  • Use 1/3 oz agave syrup
  • Did not have Galliano so subbed almost a half ounce of Licor 43 with absinthe to make the full half ounce. No agave or sweetener used. Crude (NC) tiki bitters. — ★★★★★
  • Sub Velvet Falernum for agave, will use 1/2 oz next time b/c a tad sweet, otherwise amazing. Will also try w/ salt rim & float star anise pod. 1 spritz absinthe in shaker, 1 more in glass upon serving. — ★★★★★
  • Really pretty amazing. Galliano and rum with tequila and mezcal seemed very risky but what an incredible result. I used agave nectar instead of syrup as per other comment.
  • Great mix between tiki and spicy agave flavors
  • Outstanding. Seems to please those who want something bright and summery as well those who want something with heft.
  • This has a lot of great elements. I have found it's a little sweet though. One person commented that they used agave nectar, not syrup. Maybe helps or cut to 1/4 oz syrup.
  • Excellent - garnished with mint leaves. Used: Herradura Resposado, Del Maguey Vida, Santiago de Cuba Anejo Rum, Lucid absinthe. Also agave nectar, not syrup

Thierry Vandevelde commented on 11/23/2025:

Every ingredient works with the others perfectly. The subtle notes of anis, spices & smokiness blend harmonously with the bold agave and rum base. Bravo !

nemovere commented on 10/15/2022:

So sour that the lime seems to cover most other flavors unfortunately, although what's left would still be pleasant to cool down on a hot day.
Increasing Crème de Cacao to a full 1oz improves the balance slightly and lets the flavor rise a little above the sour lime.

This is both compelling and weird. Kudos.

White Oak Propeller

3⁄4 oz Old Tom Gin (A barrel aged version)
3⁄4 oz Bianco Vermouth
3⁄4 oz Amaro Nonino
3⁄4 oz Aperol
Instructions

Shake, strain into a chilled coupe. No garnish.

Notes

You must used a barrel aged gin (I used Breuckelen) to get that oak in there. A light style Old Tom like Hayman's will not work. Dolin Blanc, though wonderful, is not the best fit here, use a more savory style like Contratto.

Zachary Pearson commented on 12/21/2016:

Curated this slightly - moved the long notes from the body of the drink to the notes section, so it doesn't blow out line breaks. Changed 3 2/5 oz vermouth to 3/4 - I'm guessing this is what you want to meet the Paper Airplane? Thanks,  Zachary
