  • Smoky but sherry dominates. Also a bit sweet.
  • Mostly because of the sherry.
  • Sophisticated and well balanced.

Sounds tasty, Rafa. There must be potential for a series of Poe-based drinks. The Tell-Tale (Lemon) H(e)art, perhaps?

DrunkLab commented on 4/25/2014:

Good idea, Leslie, and a perfect project for one with the skills of a man such as yourself. May I suggest grenadine, or another bloody colorant, for your Tell-Tale Hart? Suggestions for the series: Arthur Gordon Pimm's, Morella (with kirsch or Maraschino), Kingdom by the Sea (King's Ginger, maritime Scotch).

Nice and balanced. I included the elderflower and used fee brothers bitters.

Shawn C commented on 12/10/2024:

Nice cocktail with complex flavors. The source reference doesn't specify the Irish whiskey. Is Redbreast the actual original call, or was this the KC member's preferred choice? I made this with Martini & Rossi Ambrato since Noilly Prat Ambre doesn't appear to be available in the U.S. at this time...on my wishlist for for my next import buy.

1 oz Genever

Muddle kumquats in liqueur. Stir to combine and fine strain over packed ice in a julep cup, topping with Champagne, more ice, and a slapped mint sprig. Serve with straw.

Thanks,
