  • Love this combination. Tested with a few different rums, but the Smith & Cross came out the best. It really lets the Cynar shine.
  • 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. — ★★★★

MOJO1229 commented on 4/16/2018:

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.

  • I might bump the rye to 2oz for the next one. I think it will add some more spice.

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.

  • Added muddled jalapeno to great effect; served w/ large cube
  • I like it without simple syrup. Fav summer drink of the wife! She uses Buffalo Trace.
  • I knew I would love this, didn't realize how much! ***** I added 1 bsp float of Creme de Violette. I disagree with other comments - increase the floral palette and run with it! — ★★★★★
  • Nice cocktail. I split the bourbon (50% 101 WT, 50% reg WT). Could benefit from infusing jalapeno in the bourbon to further balance the sweetness. — ★★★★★
  • Enjoyable. Good use of our fresh bluberries, but seemed to lack some mid-palate depth. Will try adding some bitters (?) next time blueberries are in season.
  • Back down the elder to 1/2oz
