  • Tried w/ both Campari and Gran Classico. Both are a great. This is surprisingly bitter pina colada. An extremely good drink.

Upgraded to 5 stars. I've been making this drink for wife and friends while in Hawaii, and it's a hit. Very tasty.

Great Pina Colada variation! Make this one for people who think Tiki drinks are all just sugary dessert.

  • Used Averna instead of Cynar. Relatively sweet. Might lower the orgeat.
  • Dominated by bitterness and sweetness. Odd but not in an intriguing way.
  • Made to the original spec, with pistachio orgeat. Quite liked this, a nice finish. Pineapple flavors along with the expected burnt sugar and bitter. — ★★★★

  • Mods: subbed Giffard Abricot for Pamplemousse (didn't have), reduced it to 1/6 oz, increased rye to 2 1/4 oz, added 1 dash Bitter Truth Peach & 1 dash Angostura bitters — ★★★

Lanza is a tasty cocktail with a sublime tartness. The Cynar and Xocolatl Mole Bitters dampen the rye, putting it into the background more than other rye cocktails. On the other hand, I used Crown Royal's Northern Harvest Rye, which has less of a rye taste than most other ryes (e.g., Rittenhouse or Wild Turkey). Nevertheless, this is a cocktail which I heartily recommend for those who prefer a cocktail which does not overwhelm the tongue; instead the mouth is able to enjoy the various

Alto Correto

1 oz Gin, Hendrick's
1 oz Grappa (Jermann)
2 ds Bitters, Bittermens Xocolatl Mole
2 oz Coffee
Instructions

Stir spirits, bitters, pre-chilled strong coffee (medium roast w/ balanced acid, made w/melior or french press, not espresso) with ice. Strain into Duralex cafe glass tumbler or a small highball glass. Large icecube and lemon peel garnish optional.

Notes

The stronger the grappa the better. Works for me substituting extra gin, too. Depends alot on the coffee.

jsk commented on 5/25/2024:

Don't muddle/shake the mint unless you like that grassy chlorophyl flavor. Just slap it and add to the glass (like a mojito). Also 2 oz rye.
