  • 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.

With subs of Vermouth del Professore and Smith & Cross, I really liked this one.

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.

  • 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.

  • A bit sour for me. I upped the Cappelletti to 1 oz. which helped a bit.
  • 1.5 oz rum, 1 oz Capelletti. Bright, funky, and delicious. — ★★★★★
  • Made with R&W Orchard Apricot. Apricot dominates and lime not far behind; rum and amaro surprisingly subdued but lending complexity. A fave use of apricot liqueur. — ★★★★

didn't have the apricot liqueur so I subbed in a local apple brandy and shook in a couple of dashes of peach bitters...turned out quite lovely

Kindred Cocktails commented on 5/31/2019:

Use 1/2 Campari and 1/2 Aperol for the Aperitivo. Very good. I would reduce the lime to 1/2 and omit the simple.
