  • Way too sweet as written. Used Laphroag, 1/4 each of the sweet ingredients, Becherovka for the syrup, and 1/2 oz Lemon. Very good as adjusted. — ★★★★★

Kindred Cocktails commented on 1/07/2015:

Curated slightly to conform to style guidelines. Please capitalize and include garnish in ingredient list. Also, I suggest you remove any brands that aren't essential. For example, I can see that Cherry Heering is important, but wouldn't another cognac, single malt, or sweet vermouth work fine? Thanks for posting?

zman commented on 1/22/2015:

Good call. The adjustment was made and it is much better.

The Summit

1 1⁄2 oz Bourbon, Buffalo Trace
1⁄2 oz Curaçao, Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao
3⁄4 oz Aromatized wine, Lillet Rose
3⁄4 oz Elderflower liqueur, St. Elder
3⁄4 oz Grapefruit juice
4 dr Orange bitters, Fee Brothers Orange
1 twst Orange peel
Instructions

Shake and then strain into cocktail glass. Coat rim with orange peel and garnish with orange peel twist. Any grapefruit juice will do, but preferably fresh.

Notes

The orange bitters and rim sweeten the smell while the sweet but bitter juice lightly compliments the dry and sweet of the liqueurs. The Bourbon gives a hint of old fashioned feel.

Curated for capitalization and lack of instructions. I assume a tart grapefruit juice should be used to avoid excess sweetness. I also assumed that this should be shaken; please correct if I'm in error.
