  • Interesting combination of flavors, but never really seemed to come together.

christina in tacoma commented on 6/14/2014:

I decided to try this since my bottle of Sibilla hasn't been touched in over a year (it's intense!) and I really like grapefruit juice with other amari such as Cynar. I did make the following substitutions: Luxardo Maraschino as that is what I have, honey syrup instead of simple since it was made, and a pinch of kosher salt instead of making a solution. My grapefruit was pink, but I'd like to try white when I can find one.

Thoughts: for me, better on the rocks- the extra dilution and chilling softened the bitter and sweet notes. The maraschino was just a bit too dominant. I haven't had Maraska's brand in a couple years but I remember it being mellower. I'm tempted to play with adding a touch of something like Maurin Quina or Gran Classico next time, and maybe a little more lime, but overall this is good.

  • Well crafted, enjoyable though of course a taste for peaty scotch and dark beer is a prerequisite. I like how the strong flavors peek out from under the beer.

  • A delicious negroni variation, malty, slightly bitter, sweet. Found it even more accessible. — ★★★★★
  • A great light-tasting slightly sweet cocktail. Used Lillet blanc for the vermouth. This cocktail works well with up to 1.5 oz Bols Genever. I prefer at least 1.25 oz Genever. Rate 4.5

This was great. Close enough to a negroni to be delicious, but different enough to be a surprise.

Agree with Jaba above. The riff is there, but it’s not a copy. Bracing, more assertive. Delicious.

Beton

1 wdg Lemon

Pour Becherovka over ice in a Collins, squeeze in lemon wedge, top with tonic.

Notes

Traditional Czech way of serving Becherovka. The name is a portmanteau of Becherovka and tonic, and also means "cement" in Czech.

  • I think of Becherovka having "winter" flavors, and the citrus and tonic being pretty summery, so there's a kind of oddness to this drink. Worthy as a change-up to a G&T.

I like an ounce of vodka in there too, punches it up nicely.
