  • Carlos
  • Fruity fruity fruity. 3.5★
  • Wow. Top of the line tiki
  • Very sweet to my taste, but not inappropriate for a tropical drink - not sure this needs 3/4 oz of cane syrup with the pineapple juice providing sweetness as well. (Made with crushed ice.)
  • Made to spec except 1/2oz pineapple syrup instead of cane syrup and a dash of daiquiri bitters. — ★★★★★
  • Delicious and suggestive. A bit like a lighter, balanced Piña Colada flavorwise, with the structure of a Daq No. 3. — ★★★★★

  • not in the Rolodex yet
  • Made it with El Dorado 8. The rum is the star of the show—its brown sugar qualities are only enhanced by the caramel of the Cynar, but the vermouth lightens it quite a bit.
  • Tastes like an smooth & herbal demerara rum, really great, El dorado flavors are still there — ★★★★

Belden Anti-hero

1 oz Applejack, Lairds
3⁄4 oz Honey syrup
1⁄2 oz Amaro Lucano
1⁄4 oz Ginger liqueur, Dekuyper
3 oz India Pale Ale, Revolution Anti-Hero
Instructions

Combine all but IPA with ice and stir. Strain into old fashioned glass and top with IPA.

Notes

Revolution Anti-Hero is a popular local IPA in Chicago. Many IPAs can substitute, something with a balance between definite floral/sweet and hop-bitter: Lagunitas IPA comes to mind, or Dogfish Head 60-90 min come to mind.

History

Belden is a fancy residential street in Lincoln Park, Chicago.
