  • Substituted juice/ jelly from non alcoholic cherries
  • Excellent cocktail! Balanced and boozy. Used Dickel Rye, Luxardo.
  • reduce luxardo to1/4 oz. Can use Ramazzotti if short on Averna
  • Fernet Branca can sub for Averna.
  • Lovely! I used CiaCiaro in place of Averna.
  • Rich and boozy. I prefer the Red Hook. — ★★★★

Used spec ingredients and quantities (Rittenhouse for Rye), stirred w/ice, then served in double rocks glass over a large clear cube. This is a very good riff on a Black Manhattan. Very dark, loads of flavor, semi-sweet but balanced by the bitters in the Averna and Punt e Mes. Baking spice from the Angostura rounds it out. (It would benefit if served with a Luxardo cherry.)

  • Could stand to cut back on the simple and lose a little sweetness.

Shawn C commented on 3/28/2023:

This turned out better than I expected, 3.5 out of 5. There is something here, although it is sweeter than I would like and holds it back. This was my first foray with Licor 43, and it is sweeter and less herbal than I anticipated, even the vanilla is muted although it comes through here. I wonder if Galliano might work better and add another dimension to the flavor? I didn't have Johnnie Walker, so I used Famous Grouse Scotch blended with 1/4 oz Islay to give the former some peat. The Smith & Cross rum is flavorful, but quite rich here. Appleton might be worth a try to reduce the overall sweetness. I was using a very small, perfectly-ripe, fresh-squeezed orange, so a bit of zest oil was helping.

  • Awesome flavors. Passion, vanilla and lime. Lime zest sends it over the top. We used Mango Bubbly soda and it was perfect.
  • Green lime zest against the pink drink was lovely. But the drink was not particularly special. — ★★★

Notes

Adjust the amount of simple to your liking, but I find that a good amount helps control the astringency of the bitters while allowing the bitterness and deep spice notes to come through.
