Kindred Cocktails commented on 4/06/2016:

Curated from Pear liqueur (which would be sweetened) to Pear eau de vie, which is unaged clear distilled unsweetened fermented pear juice. That's what is pictured in the photo. Unfortunately, pear "brandy" is ambiguous these days because it is often used to describe pear liqueur -- and usually of awful quality. It's best to avoid the confusion and not call it brandy.

  • added 2 bs ancho syrup
  • Delicious and complex. Bitter, smoke, spicy. Would have many times over
  • Very bitter, sweet, Mezcal. Hard to discern the cynar, maraschino, and mole bitters.
  • That's a lot of ingredients. The ancho reyes and maraschino is mostly lost in here.
  • Don't stir too much

Dungeoness commented on 5/21/2021:

This was refreshing, flavorful and strong! I made 2 drinks worth, and shook it with ice in a large mason jar.
Myer's dark rum, Plantation 5 year in place of light, homemade grenadine in place of the passion fruit, and homemade Falernum were the notables. Garnished with lime wedges and fresh mint and basil from our garden.
Absolutely delicious, will make again!

  • Made with Cynar 70. Strongly herbs, strong smoke, strong lemon. Nice drink!
  • Not bad, but I'm not entirely sold on the caramel plus peat combo.

The website calls this another take on the Last Word, but doesn't give it another name. Since everyone knows what a Last Word is, I don't want to call this that, but I'm not sure I should name it myself.

Isn't this recipe a Commodore #2? According to Martin Doudroffs index of cocktails there are several cocktails including Commodore in their name. Jamie Boudreau is cited as the creator of the recipe written here, but Doudroffs index refers to this book: Albert Stevens Crockett. Old Waldorf Bar Days. Aventine Press. 1931. p. 127.

  • Surprising and surprisingly great combination. Made with Anejo.
  • Subbed Yellow Chartreuse. Kinda felt like the shaking required to work over the raspberries also diluted the drink too much.
  • Try with 1 oz tequila, maybe reposado
