  • It was too dry. I tripled the Jäger and added ½ oz simple. The drink was better (2★) as modified, but it still didn't feel coherent. The black pepper, star fruit, and coffee are all going in different crazy directions, with nothing holding the center.

  • Mostly just pear but the absithe rinse is a nice (if somewhat surprising and not entirely consonant) touch.

Night Ranger

1 1⁄2 oz Rye, Rittenhouse 100
1⁄2 oz Cardamaro
1 t Grenadine (cardamom grenadine, see note)
1 ds Bitters, Fee Brothers Whiskey Barrel Aged
Instructions

Stir all ingredients in mixing glass, strain into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with a star anise.

Notes

To make the cardamom grenadine: Lightly toast fresh cardamom pods, add to simple syrup and let simmer for 10 minutes, add pomegranate juice and let chill.

Bonded rye really helps focus the whiskey while the Cardamaro, bitters and cardamom grenadine add complexity and richness.

  • 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.
