  • Left the seeds in for the jalepeno and had a really good amount of spice. Great drink, with some sweetness from the ginger syrup.

  • Had to make up my own version of the bitters. Cherry, Angostura, cardamom, Spanish and Moroccan bitters. Seemed to work really well with complex finish.

  • Really good. Could experiment with Aperol instead of Campari. — ★★★★★
  • A tad too bitter. Next time try 1oz rye, 1/2 Campari.
  • Top with ginger ale; try gran classico next time

jaba commented on 5/24/2015:

A rare cocktail that appeals to both cocktail geeks (me) and people who like sweet things (wife, friends). 

drinkingandthinking commented on 7/17/2018:

Very nice balance of sweet, bitter and sour. I agree that a tiny bit more rye makes it better though.

CloverClubber88 commented on 3/08/2025:

Excellent - took the 1oz rye, 1/2 Campari advice and it tastes great - bitter, but not too much, a tad of sweetness, but wouldn’t call it sweet. Refreshing, absolutely!

Canephoros commented on 9/14/2015:

Although the closest I could come was St Cllement Rhum Agricole and Ozeki Dry, I thought this was a nice drink (I do have Senior Curaçao and Cocchi.) I also used Key limes, perhaps 1/2 oz would have sufficed.

DrunkLab commented on 9/15/2015:

As fruity as Ozeki is, I'm sure the use of an unflavored sake in place of what's essentially a sake-based yuzu liqueur changes the flavor of the drink quite a bit. Glad you enjoyed it regardless.

  • Navy strength gin holds up well to the other flavors. Averna in place of Suze
  • Lots of great flavor. The sherry's a bit strong, so maybe tone down just a bit. Didn't have lime bitters
