bza commented on 5/06/2014:

What demarara do you use? I think I'll make this tonight.

I used ED15 because it's what I have right now, and a mix of Redbreast 12 and Tyrconnell (I'm down to the last ounce or so of Redbreast and guarding it jealously). Any ED 5 and up should do; they all have the banana note in common with the Irish (and, obviously, the liqueur).

Solid 4+. BroVo Amaro #14 is a good sipper on its own, but I find it somewhat challenging to employ effectively in cocktails. In this drink the BroVo is center stage, but with a well-composed supporting cast. The drier hogo of the El Dorado 3 yr I used blended well with Jameson and the woody/nutty oloroso sherry; forming a chorus with the chocolate herbal of the amaro, linked by the subtle Banane du Bresil I chose. The chocolate bitters provide just the right amount of boost to BroVo's inherent chocolate vibe.

  • Overly sweet for me, drowning out any nuance. Would be worth trying again with less creme or with better quality than the cheap DeKuyper I have on hand.

  • We don't keep tequila around and use mezcal. That might help cut the sweetness edge. Still sweet but nice. 4.5. — ★★★★
  • Maraschino too strong, even at 1/4 oz
  • A bit sweet for our taste. Maraschino too dominant. — ★★★
  • Very interesting. — ★★★★

Like a lot. Also good to replace some of the maraschino with kirschwasser, especially if you wanna dry it out a bit.
