That's a lot of pie spice in one cocktail -- too much for me.

Fancier, funkier Ancient Mariner. Dan, did you use cinnamon syrup or Becherovka?

  • Look at measurements.. I believe the base of a tiki drink is here..
  • Nice and the vanilla syrup rounds it out and gives it some caramel notes. Very easy to drink. Made it with Cockspur 12 may try some other rums.

Aul Man

2 oz Irish whiskey, Mitchell & Son Green Spot
1⁄4 oz Bitter Truth EXR
1⁄4 oz Lime juice
1 t Ginger-Honey Syrup
1 twst Lime peel (garnish)
2 ? Candied ginger (garnish)
Instructions

Shake, double-strain, straight up, chilled coupe, garnish

History

I dug the deeper flavor that Mitchell & Son has over other Irish whiskeys, so I wanted to build something that would let the whiskey be central. Although the build for this is simple, the EXR provides a nice herbal and vegetal base for the honey, ginger, and barrel notes to shine

  • I liked this a lot. Made it with plymouth navy strength and 1821 baltimore bitters. Strong, but still well balanced. Revised: upgraded rating to 5. I find myself making this frequently.
  • Chartreuse adds a nice complexity to this
  • subbed iki bitters
  • Real good martini variant
  • Herbacious.
  • Try
  • Nice martini variation. Boozy and herbal, but not overpowering. Strong drink.

bkemp1984 commented on 12/26/2023:

Have made this with various brands of gin and vermouth and liked it, but tonight went super dry with No. 3 London Dry Gin and Cocchi extra dry vermouth and it was good too.
