  • Deceptively simple & delicious for it. Works best with syrup made from white sugar and lots of cinnamon, to better highlight the strawberry. Demerara sugar, cardamom, substituting with cinnamon liqueur, or using a sherry base - these all make for a more interesting cinnamon syrup, but for this cocktail specifically, the result tastes worse. — ★★★★★
  • 7/25/20: Solid.
  • Delicious DnC drink.

Jojiro commented on 1/23/2025:

As a note - I've been trying out all the cinnamon cocktails on here using Juliette Laroui's sherry-based cinnamon syrup. It's very distracting in this particular drink. You're rewarded for doing a basic white sugar cinnamon syrup here. More clarity.

  • Pretty good - I cut Campari to 1/2 oz and upped blood orange to a full 1 oz. based on previous comments. Still needed something, so I floated 3/4 oz. Taylor's 10 yr Tawny Port on top. That did the trick!
  • Have to try it. Source calls for only 1/4 ounce campari.
  • Lime pushes out the more delicate flavors of the blood orange, and the Campari and Triple Sec don't change that. I'd forego the salt rim in the future and perhaps up the blood orange and forego the Campari.
