  • 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.

MOJO1229 commented on 11/24/2016:

I have tried three variations of Dubonnet Rouge and gin (including this one), and I've been disappointed in each. I've used Tanqueray Ten and Bombay Sapphire. Perhaps another brand of gin will produce better results.

I've come to the conclusion, however, that the combination of gin and Dubonnet Rouge just do not a good cocktail maketh. A three rating is the best I can give any of the gin and Dubonnet cocktails I've tried.

Kinda tastes like fancy-ass Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Which is a good thing.

  • Rosemary got lost, and I used quite a bit. Perhaps backing off the falernum would help. — ★★★★
  • Juicy, fresh, and absolutely delicious
  • Delicious. Froth from pineapple and vanilla make for a creamy sensation. Next time I’ll muddle more rosemary—that kind of got lost. — ★★★★
