  • Excellent and remarkably balanced as a whole.That said, most of the individual ingredients are lost in the mix.
  • Like the combination of aquavit and apple brandy. Recipe is well-balanced with no ingredient too forward. — ★★★★

  • Flavor balance was nice, but a little syrupy. Might try bonded bourbon to sharpen it a bit.

What a wonderful combination of Suze, Amaretto and beer. I used A Mystical Guide For the Critical Moment, which is a Double IPA and it was a perfect pairing with the citrus notes from the lemon and orange. I adore Suze, and this the only drink I can think of with both Suze and Amaretto.


Ziggy Stardust

2 oz Gin
1⁄4 oz Cinnamon Schnapps liqueur, Goldschlager
1 pn Cinnamon stick
Instructions

Stir first two ingredients with bitters over ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
Light a small glass of Goldshlager and pour over the drink.
Dust the flame with cinnamon powder and serve.

Notes

I confess I haven't tried this, but it sounds like it would look fantastic.

Ingredients list wouldn't allow cinnamon powder.

I changed the vodka to gin, because, duh.

Made with Paulaner Hefeweizen, which I feel is a very traditional Wheat Beer. At 8 oz the beer overpowers the other flavors. Made again at 4 oz and 6 oz of the Paulaner and each was more enjoyable than the 8 oz as written. I want to be able to pick out the Tequila and Suze, so I would recommend a max of 6 oz of your favorite Wheat Beer.
