  • To try
  • Used 2 oz cognac, homemade nocino, tiki bitters. A really nice nocino feature. Satisfying nose, sip, and swallow; sophisticated.
  • Not bad — ★★★

Jeff Moore commented on 5/08/2020:

This cocktail is phenomenal!!!  I upped the nocino to AT LEAST 1/2 oz & used 1 dash or Orange bitters & 1 dash of Black Walnut bitters...  this is now on my go-to regular rotation


Shawn C commented on 10/17/2022:

This is a very good cocktail. I was concerned that the mild flavor of Amaro Nonino would be lost here, but it works. I used a batch of Abbott's bitters I just made based on Darcy O'Neil's recipe (I am quite pleased with them.) Other components were Nux Alpina and Courvoisier VSOP. A slightly drier cognac than I used might be a better choice for this drink.


Love Is Like A Bottle Of Gin

1 oz Gin, Hendrick's
1⁄2 oz Lime juice
1⁄2 oz Cinnamon syrup
Instructions

Shake, strain over one big rock, garnish with five Maraschino cherries on a skewer and, optionally, a placeholder engagement ring.

  • I only had Crema de Mezcal so I used that, but it was still really good. I love the form factor of the giant cube with this drink.
  • We both like this, but K prefers with an equal-split in base (3/4 oz ea gin+mezcal). — ★★★★
  • Responsible use of mezcal and clever construction. — ★★★
  • Subbed Becharovka for cinnamon syrup. One or two too many things going on in this, to my taste.
  • Made with 2:1 turbinado syrup. This is really really good. Luxardo and Mezcal work well together, though I might lower the amount of Luxardo to a heavy 1/4 next time.

agreed on the luxardo, dialed it back a bit and subbed falernum for cinnamon syrup

Subbed Del Maguey Las Milpas for the Hendricks & Vida, worked out nice.
