  • This is a fairly clean tasting cocktail. I forgot to add the scotch, but I keep some Laphroaig in a mister and gave it a couple nice sprays to finish it off.
  • Nice smoke element
  • If you like smoke and like martinis, you'll like this. Actually the smoke is gentler than expected, and a bit sour/salty (effectively serving as the martini's "olive").

Nice! This has all my favorite things. I didn't have a Laphroaig like Scotch. Used Aberlour A'Bunadh which is all carmel, no smoke, but that tasted really good too.

lesliec commented on 11/17/2014:

Another good one, Rafa. Ilegal is about the best mezcal I can get here. It's not bad by any means, but I bet the drink is spectacular with a really good one.

  • I used Banhez, Citadelle, Dolin and a dash of Regan's. Pretty dry and subtle with those ingredients: enjoyable but not memorable.
  • I used a good anejo, cocci americano, and beefeater gin. The americano adds some sweetness and the smokey complex anjeo is really the star.

Good, but maybe a tad dry for my taste. A dash of orange bitters (I used Regan's) helps.

  • A fun, subtler variation on the Manhattan. I used brugal anejo and tippleman's double spiced falernum. Per the note I reduced falernum to 0.25 ts. I could really taste the wood aging in this drink though it wasn't assertive.
  • Made with Fair rum and Lustau sweet vermouth-really good — ★★★★★
  • Good, but might try with Demerara rum, or Punt e Mes instead of Carpano Antica. Or both. Something to give it bit more depth.

Wow, really tasty! Complex and rich. Used tart branded cherries to cut some of the sweetness.

Artur B commented on 8/25/2024:

Suddenly I was out of Falernum so used Benedictine instead. Still very good!
