HallA commented on 3/01/2022:

It's got a weird note I don't love. Something between the maraschino and allspice dram with the really vegetal reposado in the G4. Tastes good around that. Worth one more try with different reposado and luxardo maraschino.

  • Very very delicious. I altered the recipe but this is my favorite Daiquiri variation. Sub the Stiggin's with Plantation Dark and then cut the lime and simple a bit to fit in 0.5oz of my own tart pineapple cordial. — ★★★★
  • One of my favourite daiquiri variation so far, a lot of fruit flavors with a nice depth — ★★★★★
  • Really great upgrade to the standard daiquiri. The Stiggins' Fancy really shines here. Lovely depth and balance.

I really like the way this upgrades the standard daiquiri. The Stiggin's Fancy really shines here -- lovely depth and perfect balance of sweet & sour.

  • Heaven, even better with a dash of rose water as garnish.
  • Inspired by the St Germain Sidecar. The rose and cognac flavors work together well, perhaps reminiscent of the Vicomte de Mauduit's rose petal brandy, as described by Charles Baker.

Is there a decent substitute for these bitters? I've seen these Fig bitters in a number of recipes, but they are persistently unavailable and the company seems like it may be defunct.

There are other commercial fig bitters that likely have a different spice profile, but would probably still work:

AZ Bitters Lab Figgy Pudding

Crude Sycophant (orange and fig)

Mister Bitters Fig and Cinnamon

Or you may DIY.

  • Altered to use a commercially available rose liqueur in place of the homemade rose brandy whose recipe is given in Baker's book.
