  • Used apple cider instead of Fuji apple juice. Not my favorite drink by Simó but hard to go wrong with this one.

  • Nice. Another strong, well balanced spirit first cocktail that uses Cynar well.
  • Very dry, grows on you as you sip.
  • Made with Plymouth. Lovely amber color. An interesting and smooth martini variation. — ★★★★

  • 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. — ★★★★

Salty Dog

2 oz Gin
1 wdg Lime (optional)
Instructions

Pour the ingredients into a collins glass rimmed with salt and filled with ice cubes. Stir. Optional: Garnish with a lime wedge.

I often use 3 oz grapefruit juice, rather than 4 oz, in a double rocks glass.

Some people prefer vodka in this drink.

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