  • Used cachaca instead of solbeso. Surprised how the tea taste comes through. Good summery drink
  • Exotic but accessible. The kind of drink that makes a lot of people feel adventurous without actually being challenging.

Perfectly balanced. The crushed almond/orange zest garnish is essential.

DrunkLab commented on 5/16/2014:

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

bkemp1984 commented on 1/14/2022:

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.

  • Juicy last word riff
  • Not as different than the Last Word than I had hoped. The pineapple is nice.
  • Subbed S&C for a boozier Jamaican Rum, Golden Devil's 9 yr old Hampden at 62.7% ABV, super tasty.
  • Boozy nose, but balanced and sophisticated mix of flavors. — ★★★★
