  • 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.

noksagt commented on 3/17/2019:

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.

Powerful leather taste. Might benefit from a tiny addition of peaty scotch or smoky mezcal to take it to the next level.

  • Decent but disappointing. Mostly tasted like lemon juice. I'd dial that back.
  • I tweaked it to make it less sour. Also made the dram a full 1 cl. Very good drink. 1 cl Lemon juice 1 cl Allspice Dram — ★★★★

Peppermary commented on 11/16/2019:

Very tasty drink. You can taste the Frangelico but it is very nicely set off by the tangy/bitter flavors.  Will make again.

Great cocktail, subbed Cynar for the Averna & Old Rasputin for the Guinness, worked well.  Great winter drink.

Peppermary commented on 5/06/2020:

This is really fun and different. Averna is my new favorite ingredient. It's great on its own, but I could almost imagine making a vanilla ice cream float out of this drink for a mind-blowing dessert.
