  • Great tasting bitter cocktail. The Chartreuse provides really nice undertones. — ★★★★
  • Boozy, but enjoyable. Could be worked a bit further, possibly adjusting volumes to bring out full potential of this one.

  • Very nice blend of amari! I don't drink whiskey straight, but I'm enjoying it in this drink as it is the right base spirit to blend with the complexity of the amari.
  • Excellent, although no chocolate bitters used.
  • A bit more medicinal than I expected. I suspect that playing with amaros and bitters makes a huge difference. I used ciocaro as suggested and 1 aztec chocolate and 1 cardamom bitters.
  • Made with CioCiaro. Rich, in the 1794 neighborhood.
  • Abano as Amaro
  • Compared with B Cubed.

What Amaro do you recommend? I would think something not too bitter? Nonino?

bitterhole commented on 4/24/2015:

For the amaro, I generally use CioCiaro. and Averna if I don't have that. :)

Afterburner

1 oz Gin
1 oz Aromatized wine, Cocchi Americano
2 oz Orange juice
2⁄3 oz Lemon juice
2⁄3 oz Simple syrup
1 oz Vinegar (Pepper-infused, see note)
1 oz Seltzer water (Top)
Instructions

Build over ice in a tall glass with ice; top with seltzer.

Notes

For pepper vinegar, steep 1/8 c. crushed red pepper flakes in 1/4 c. vinegar for an hour; strain. I imagine Bittermans Hellfire Shrub would fit the bill too.

  • 2/1/23: Made with PF curaçao and 1 tsp 2:1 simple. I've tried it with 0, 1, and 2 tsp 2:1 simple, and I think 1 tsp is the best. This is very tasty.
  • Works with a range of amari (made w/ Lucano and Ferro Kina). It's much better w/ blended (6oz ice) and w/ 0.5-0.75oz 1:1 simple. — ★★★★★
  • Sweet and tasty. I don't think it hits the "cloying" register, but if you worry about that, scaling back or eliminating the syrup might be worth trying. — ★★★★★

Hard to believe this could need the simple. It doesn't actually sound bad. Just because Jägermeister is a frat-house staple, doesn't mean that it doesn't have a long history as bitters.

Wondered what I would do with new bottle of Hong-Kong Baigiu. Took a Jagarita recipe & sub'd out the Jagermeister for Baijiu.

drinkingandthinking commented on 5/04/2024:

It's pretty good, but I was not wowed in the way Morgenthaler was as reported on Punchdrink. I tried again swapping the simple for Barenjager for a German inspired honey flavor and that kicked it up a notch. I may add it to the menu!

Very sweet as written. I added another part of dry vermouth, but even then it was too sweet. I would like to try this again as perhaps 2 oz spirit and a total of 1 oz sweet.

bitterhole commented on 12/28/2015:

I tweaked this by using a little less than 1/4 oz of green chartreuse in place of the yellow chartreuse and enjoyed the heck out of this drink. It's definitely for those who love bitter drinks with a whisper of smoke and herbs.
