  • Tasty. A good mezcal stands up to the absinthe well and refuses to be bossed around by it — ★★★★
  • Needs another ingredient. Floated Aperol and it added another layer to it.
  • Damn that's good! A bit sweet, so maybe cut back on the agave. Also, I initially forgot the absinthe, and once I put it in it was like a totally different cocktail. Absinthe is absolutely essential!

2 ds Bitters, Angostura
1 twst Orange peel

Stir, up, garnish with peel after expelling oil onto the surface of the drink.

The Spy Hop Harvest gin—whose base spirit is made from foraged apples on San Juan Island—is crucial for this drink to taste right. So is the orange twist.

Craig E commented on 8/06/2019:

Jäger + Cappelletti + gin worked well for me. 

Shawn C commented on 10/13/2023:

I haven't made the original recipe yet, because while I am keen on Gran Classico, it is usually quite assertively bitter and I thought it might overpower here. So I tried the Cappelletti variant suggested by Craig, which was quite good with a wine base profile, but slightly to the sweet side. I am looking forward to trying the original--and possibly a blend of the two to dial it in. If I prefer a variant might I suggest: Educated Jabroni, Improved Jabroni or Jabroni #2.

I have avoided Jagermeister for decades, but am finding the half bottle I picked up this week has a pleasant herbal liqueur/amaro essence that fits in with the wide range of amari/liqueurs in my cabinets. Its flavor is suggestive of an ouzo used as an amaro base.

Shawn C commented on 10/14/2023:

I have made the original, 4 stars, quite good. The rhubarb & gentian bitterness of the Gran Classico come through loud and clear compared to the milder, sweeter flavor when Cappelletti was used. Both are good, but with very different resulting characters. I will have to make that hybrid to see if any synergy ensues.

This was my attempt to create a drink that brought out the bitter aspects of coffee while downplaying the sweetness. I also wanted to avoid milk or actual brewed coffee.

a more sophisticated black russian.  probably wont interfere with elections.

drinkingandthinking commented on 8/11/2018:

Nice but I thought it needed a bit more depth. I added 1/2 oz. Blackstrap rum for sweetness and body and 1/2 bsp. Yellow Chartreuse for a little more zing. Probably could have accomplished the same with just a bit more Kahlua too ;)

Didn't have peated American whiskey, so I used 1/2 oz bourbon(angels envy) and 1/2 oz islay scotch. Used Calvados for the apple brandy.
