  • Simple but unique combination - I can't think of another cocktail that combines more than two of the main ingredients. Fennel is a nice touch!

Delicious. It tastes, unsurprisingly, like brandied cherries. The grapefruit juice adds a slight acidity and lightness.

Good stuff. Used a cheaper Spanish brandy and just ran out of Pedro Ximénez but had a sweet vermouth that is Pedro Ximénez based. Also don't stock Cherry Heering to keep the bar smaller but I tried to get my brandied cherry syrup recipe to stand in for it, so poured that in.

Cellar Door

1⁄2 oz Calvados
1⁄2 oz Bianco Vermouth, Dolin
1⁄2 oz Lemon juice
1⁄4 oz Honey syrup (2:1)
2 ds Orange bitters

Notes

1. Infusing the Scotch with chamomile is nice here. Apple, too. 2. Apple bitters would probably work instead of the orange ones, but I don't have any.

Curated this: Added both club soda and tonic, which were in the instructions but not in the recipe. Thanks,  Zachary

Agreed. Like a minty gin & tonic. Wondering how it would taste with less simple syrup and slightly more chartreuse (we cut the syrup in half already, not being fond of overly sweet drinks). Also, will try it with muddled mint. We used Navy Hill soda + tonic, which seemed to work well.

  • Also didn't find it too sweet. Pleasant. Wonder if it'd be good scaled up and served on the rocks.
  • Hard to go wrong with much Cardamaro. Suprisingly not dominated, though. I didn't think it was too sweet. 3.5★
  • Very smooth. Might leave out the simple
  • Sweet
