MOJO1229 commented on 12/30/2016:

<br />Four strong-tasting ingredients, yet they don't clash. Instead, they come together nicely to make Collo Rosso (Italian for Red Neck). Although the Campari's taste tops all the others, the rum and bourbon are not far behind. And fortunately, the sweetness of the vermouth manages to peek through and give the necessary sweetness to provide the balance needed to make this the great drink that it is.

This is one of those drinks that will be enjoyed either before or after dinner--or on a lazy weekend afternoon, while watching your favorite college team (such as the U of Mich) whoomping on your college's favorite enemy team). Make the Collo Rosso, sit back, and enjoy. I rated this libation as a 4.0.

  • Decent... used 1 1/4 oz Mt. Gay Silver and 1 oz Stiggins
  • Plantation Rum is a dark pineapple rum, so could add a touch of pineapple juice to regular dark rum.

Tried a Barbados version.  Tommy Bahama White Sands rum at 1 1/4; Stiggins at 1 oz.  For me, even-ing up the Stiggins w the white rum made sense, even for this "understated Pineapple" cocktail.

  • Good not great
  • Feared it would be too sweet but the balance here is nice. Rich and smooth, covering the booziness. Interestingly raisiny finish.
  • Sweeter than a Vieux Carré, nice cherry notes. Very good variation.

1) Cate suggests Rothman & Winter or Giffard for the apricot liqueur. 2) The recipe calls for one dash of Smuggler's Cove's batch of equal parts Herbsaint and Angostura. Follow your bliss.

Used one dash orange and one dash peach bitters, for lack of the proper bitters.

lesliec commented on 10/08/2016:

Promising. I'll try again but with .25oz (or less) falernum.

Kclawsonstone commented on 7/01/2020:

I concur with the comment of too sweet - will reduce the falernum in the future. Tasting notes: mint, bubblegum, lemon. Looking forward to playing with this one.
