  • Used smoked cinnamon; reduced to 1/2 oz. Reduce to 1/4 oz on next round.
  • Has potential, but I'll reduce the cinnamon syrup next time. Candy sweet as written. Also might reduce total amount. A very voluminous drink.
  • Used campari instead of aperol. not sorry. — ★★★★★
  • Bloody well amazing, this one.

Pangolindo commented on 12/10/2017:

Very nice taste but far too sweet.

No punt e mes at home so used cinzano.

Maybe using higher proof bourbon + lowering syrup to 1/2  oz + 3/4 oz aperol...

I had Cocchi Vermouth di Torino, so I upped the bitters each by a dash. Used the Barrel Aged bitters, which worked well.

Pama "Are You Indispensable" Competition Cocktail

This cocktail has a wonderful depth of texture and richness that is kept in perfect balance by the Pama and lemon. The high proof bourbon provides the backbone that sours are often lacking

  • Wow! This is a stunningly beautiful cocktail to make to impress. Balanced, delicious, just perfect. Pray you don't get salmonella. Consider bumping up the bourbon a bit or reducing pomegranate some. — ★★★★★

aphonik commented on 1/08/2020:

An excellent drink that rewards high quality ingredients (blending in some longer aged cognac/armagnac/calvados adds considerable depth). It skews sweet but the richness of the base spirits helps to balance. I find that about half of the amount of maple syrup suffices (but I tend to use darker maple syrup than perhaps the original D&Co spec did). Love this drink for a slow sipping postprandial and/or nightcap.
