Shockingly good. Wonderful herbal / bitter / sweet balance with the nuttiness of the amontillado kind of rounding it out underneath.

Mixin In Ansley commented on 9/10/2024:

And a 5 for ingenuity. Feels like a great teaching drink because you can find all the notes and perhaps rejigger based on preference.

  • Oooh, I like this one! A bit sour, but an interesting combo. Maybe a bit more of the elderflower?
  • An enjoyable sour with floral and stone fruit flavors. Worth the trip to pick up the BT apricot liqueur.

  • The historical element is fun, but this wasn't great. Tasted mostly like lime with the kind of beer that doesn't go with lime, and nutmeg to further confuse the situation.

Dan commented on 10/27/2014:

The Strega adds an interesting element to essentially a Black Manhattan. I might add some dry vermouth for sugar balance. Nice overall.

Zachary Pearson commented on 2/15/2017:

So it turns out that there are a couple versions of this drink floating around the internet, including a Youtube video of Chris Hannah making the drink. I have curated this one to conform with the cited link and added a link to the Rye/Averna/Creole Shrubb version as well. Thanks,  Zachary

Note that the reference used also mentions nothing about ice & this is often recommended as a room temperature cocktail.

  • Only not a 5 cause I'm not the biggest shrub fan, and this is pretty sour thanks to the shrub. Still pretty darn tasty though.
  • An excellent and novel blend of flavors. My friends and I also enjoy it served in a Collins glass with a splash of soda.

  • 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. — ★★★★★
