I was recounting a dream in which every time I tried to make a Last Word my bottle of Green Chartreuse slipped my grasp and taunted me, as one does, and I slipped up and typed Lost Word instead. Rufus ran with it.

If you're looking for a man's drink, the Italian Rivalry (aka Monte Old-Fashioned), look no farther. With its robust flavor from the bourbon (Jim Beam black label), and the exquisite taste of a good cognac (Hennessy Very Special Cognac), combined with light brown sugar to add some sweetness (but not too much), with the zest oils from an orange and a lemon to counterbalance the flavors. NOTE: One level tsp of sugar equals one sugar cube.

As you might guess, this drink is complex with its many different flavors. I think you'll enjoy both the breadth and depth of flavors you'll encounter in this drink.

The only decision you'll have to make is whether you want to use light or dark brown sugar. For myself, I was satisfied with light brown sugar (which was the only brown sugar I had). The dark brown sugar is likely to be somewhat sweeter and richer. However, be you woman or man, you'll enjoy this "man's drink."

Deeply Sherry containing, nice evolution, sherry nutty / raisin-ey notes throughout. That's usually a three for me, individual mileage may vary.

  • A bit sweet, but I had to make my own lighter spiced rum with 4-1-1 Barbancourt 8, velvet falernum and allspice dram.
  • This tastes *so* much like a berry-flavored Orange Julius. It's great!

Zachary Pearson commented on 5/27/2014:

Curated this a bit: removed "fresh squeezed" from the OJ. Changed "Kraken Spiced Rum" to "Kraken", which is a brand of spiced rum. Removed extraneous note that was causing line breakage, clarified the twist as garnish.

Thanks,

Zachary

this is a handsome looking cocktail. I added a small amount of egg whites and that really added to the visual appeal.
