  • Use Ramazzotti or Averna in place of Lucano
  • Made with Patrón. Lime and sweet vermouth is an interesting combination.

  • Conceptually interesting but just not that tasty. I might never have had any 2 of rum+lime; s.vermouth; Genepy together. Feels like a very lost Daiquiri. Probably wouldn't make again.

Made with Mount Gay Black Barrel and Dolin Rouge. The flavor improved after resting so might try a longer shake next time. I'll definitely try again with a different vermouth.

  • Perhaps it was the kirsch I used, but this didn't come together for me. Has potential.

Not bad, but not much to it. I added 1/2 oz. Dry curacao and 1/4 squeezed orange for a bit more body, also cherry bitters. Needs something more...

  • Made as written and subbing Gran Classico for Aperol. Not substantially different than an Old Pal. Slightly less good.
  • Easy to drink. Gone before you know it!
  • Very tasty, made with Cuty Sark and Cinzano, which was delicious. Tasted like orange chocolate and cherry, well balanced, slightly bitter.
  • A worthwhile variant. I taste chocolate.

  • Delightful! I may ease up on the Luxardo next time.
  • I've had a few like this one lately, and this is one of the better ones. Many are too lemony, but the mint and coffee bitters I added give it complexity. Good balance.

Bijou des Alpes

1 1⁄2 oz Gin
1 oz Cardamaro
1 oz Genepy, Dolin Genepy des Alpes
2 ds Orange bitters, Regans' orange bitters
Instructions

Stir, strain, coupe.

Notes

I used Death's Door Gin, but feel free to experiment, as different gins will bring out different notes in the Cardamaro and Genepy, as will different bitters.

History

A variation of a bijou with Genepy substituted for Chartreuse and the wine-based Cardamaro subbed for the sweet vermouth.

Too whiskey-sour-like with these ratios. I swapped the bourbon and Swedish punsch and added a spoon of aquavit and found it more interesting.

2 twst Lemon peel (Garnish with one)
Instructions

Variation on the fancy vermouth cocktail as in Imbibe! The grapefruit bitters with the maraschino give it hints of the Hemingway daiquiri.
