The Quick Brown Fox

1 ds Bitters, Bittermens Xocolatl Mole (heavy dash)
1 ds Orange bitters (heavy dash)
Instructions

Stir with a big rock.

History

Invented for MxMo CXI, "Drink Nerdy." The concept behind the drink is that the recipe, "Equal parts rye whiskey & mezcal joven; dash each of orange & xocolatl bitters," is a pangram (a phrase that uses every letter of the alphabet).

Is the recipe missing a sugar source like agave nectar, simple, or dem?

Craig E commented on 2/27/2022:

It's listed as intended, drunk like a whiskey you'd sip; mezcal often reads "sweet" to my palate. But I'd certainly be open to experiments with a sweetener to bring it over to an Old-Fashioned template. That may well make a better drink. Just didn't need it to complete the pangram! :-)

  • It's very smooth. Probably better than the original. Is it worth all the extra effort? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  • Dialed back the gin to 1 3/4 and kept the rest the same. Really nice depth of flavors — ★★★★★
  • BORDIGA OCCITAN GIN used gin heavy, but balanced — ★★★★★
  • This is really tasty. I plan to play with the ingredients a bit to find some other great combinations. Thanks for posting this!
  • Despite the hype, a negroni is a very good drink and this is a just about the best Negroni. My only nit is that the drink itself is big (4oz before stirring)!
  • 1/25/20: Great use of Carpano Antica. Just aged this drink in a 2 L barrel for 2.5 weeks and it was amazing.
  • Delicious. No Trumpery here...
  • Another winner from the Violet Hour. Very similar to Eyore's Requiem. — ★★★★★

I'm surprised there have not been any comments about the "Autumn Negroni," given a 5 rating by four raters. That says something about the drink--namely that those who enjoy a Negroni style cocktail will surly enjoy this drink. The gin, along with the Campari, and the Fernet-Branca control where this drink is going. I, personally, enjoy Negroni-style drinks, and this drink is no exception. I rated it a 4, but with a little arm twisting, I'd jack it up to 4.5. Personally, I love this drink.

Adventuresome drinkers will, I believe, also find this an enjoyable cocktail, as long as they understand the effects of Campari and Fernet-Branca on a cocktail. Put your toes into the water, and give it a try! You have, I believe, more to gain than to lose. Enjoy but drink responsibly!

 

J.S-g. commented on 9/17/2016:

Excellent. A very nice Negroni, indeed! 

happyrobot commented on 10/29/2016:

Nice end of summer cocktail.

I kept thinking that I wanted to work in an apple note somehow as well - for autumn. Apart from eating apple slices as we drank this. 

drinkingandthinking commented on 8/14/2018:

I don't get all the 5 star ratings. I mean, it's a well crafted Negroni, and it's carefully balanced drink and all, but I just don't see it as an all encompassing 5 star cocktail. Full disclosure: I hate gin, so maybe it's a 4 star for everyone else...

A great one to batch up, given all the ingredients. Delicious drink the whole year round!

  • I still cannot fully commit to Cruzan blackstrap and don't get the adoration.. but as I'm trying to get through a bottle and get back to black seal this plays to it's strengths with a lot of bitter ingredients.
  • Using pineapple rum instead of blackstrap yields 2 stars.
  • Good, but with all sweet ingredients, benefits from 1/2 oz of dry vermouth. Added some orange bitters too. — ★★★
  • The blackstrap rum kinda cheapens this for me.

Colleen Bawn

1 oz Rye, Rittenhouse 100
1 oz Herbal liqueur, Yellow Chartreuse
1 oz Bénédictine
1 Whole egg
1 bsp Simple syrup
Instructions

Dry shake for 10 seconds, then shake with ice for 15 seconds. Strain, and top with fresh grated nutmeg and/or cinnamon.

Notes

Upped the ingredients from 3/4 oz to 1 oz each, to better pair with the larger size of modern day eggs.

  • Bitters, Vinegar, and bourbon work reallyy well together. essentially a great funky version of a bourbon sour
  • Roughly whiskey sour-like, with the vinegar and heavy bitters bringing in fascinating twists in the finish.
