  • very earthy and fairly strong but still rather tasty
  • All around good cocktail with bitterness, depth and satisfying finish. Similar to Negroni in overall profile, which is a compliment. — ★★★★
  • 4.5: Nice combination - bitterness grows nicely/gradually from sweetness after a sip. I used just shy of an oz of Sibilia and just proud of 1/2 oz of Cherry Heering per suggestion.
  • Tart — ★★★★★
  • Delicious. Similar to a Red Hook. Try 1 oz Sibilia and 1/2 Cherry Heering. — ★★★★
  • Used a portuguese cherry brandy I had and worked well.

Agree with the 1 oz Sibilla and 1/2 Cherry Heering. The overall profile is similar to a Negroni (complex bitterness with satisfying finish), which is a compliment

Shawn C commented on 8/03/2023:

Excellent, but quite potent. The equal parts Heering and Sibilla complement one another well. This is a great vehicle for appreciating Sibilla. I didn't see the garnish (lemon twist-discarded?-and Luxardo cherry) until later so they were inadvertently omitted. I might serve this over a large rock next time to make it more of a slow sipper.

  • Loved it! Upped the bourbon to 2 oz. Going to experiment with higher proofs.
  • Go light on the orgeat
  • Although the orgeat lends a pleasant nose, something about this gives a slightly "grainy" mouthfeel. I prefer a standard whiskey sour. — ★★★★

happyrobot commented on 4/15/2018:

I agree with the 'grainy' note. Wonder why I don't get that with other cocktails that use orgeat? 

egg whites/aquafaba are a nice addition.

  • Clear burnt orange color. Maraschino funk dominates nose. Pleasant bitter orange flavor. Finish has orange baby aspirin taste.
  • Refreshing rye cocktail. I used Sagarmore 83 proof. Could benefit from bonded rye or try the Division Bell variation with single malt.

Shawn C commented on 4/06/2023:

I subbed green Izarra for the Boomtown bitters which I did not have. (The Izarra used has some minty/wintergreen flavor.) 3.5+/4, so rating it a 4. This a boozy yet complex cocktail, with a variety of mint, cola, clove, ginger, rye, and cacao flavors (among others) all competing for attention at the same time. Nothing boring about it.

Brown Cat

1 oz Mezcal, Del Maguey Vida
3⁄4 oz Gin, Uncle Val's Botanical
3⁄4 oz Sweet vermouth, Carpano Punt e Mes
3⁄4 oz Amontillado Sherry, Lustau
2 Grapefruit peel
1 t Simple syrup
Instructions

Muddle one grapefruit peel with the simple in a mixing glass. Add the liquors and ice. Stir. Strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with the other grapefruit peel.

Notes

This is obviously a riff on Nicholas Jarrett's Black Cat.

History

We were coming up with the drink menu for my daughter's wedding and wanted to get get as close as we could to a Black Cat using just one gin.
