  • Underrated! Well balanced but everything shines through ***** — ★★★★★
  • tasty....next time will only use 1 dash of grapefruit bitters
  • Interesting how the floral elderflower stays present but is recontextualized with the tobacco/caramel seriousness. Sweet coffee on the finish.
  • Made with Old Overholt rye and Carpano Antica Formula. Tasty boozy, maybe for fall. 2nd version upped rye to 1.75. Also good.
  • Used Wild Turkey 101 rye and Fee Bros Grapefruit bitters. Easy to drink. Rate 4.0
  • Sprightly! Nice sort of Manhattan-plus, with a spring in its step.

Flavors are nice, but for my palate, this is too sweet as written. Next time I'll play with the proportions a bit, probably increasing the rye to 2 oz. and/or dialing down the St. Germain and Punt e Mes.

Zachary Pearson commented on 1/06/2014:

Curated this a bit - removed the simple syrup instructions from the recipe - it was seriously line breaky.

This drink seems really really sweet to me - it might have a lot of lime flavor from bitters and the syrup, but it looks like it's out of balance. Maybe Dan should take a swing at it for us ;)

Thanks,

Zachary

  • Used High West Double Rye (46 abv)--a hair over 0.75 oz. Full-flavored. Rate 5 easily. A great cocktail for rye or Averna lovers. And easy to make.

You're killing me with you stash of Unicum. Next you'll be posting Malort recipes.

DrunkLab commented on 1/06/2014:

You should head down to New York and pick up a bottle. Unicum tastes like it used to steal Fernet's lunch money, and a liter goes for the same price as a fifth of Fernet.

DrunkLab commented on 1/10/2014:

Very nice. Warmth and spice from the Sorel complements the smoke and fruit from the tequila, with the other liqueurs adding orange and wine notes. The balance isn't as sweet as it looks on paper. I would cut back on the tequila a bit as it can dominate.

Shawn C commented on 4/04/2023:

Somewhere between 3 and 3.5 as written. Sorel's clove/cinnamon/hibiscus is at the forefront, but a bit dry due to the acidity, which seems to overpower the rest of the drink. Sorel is only moderately sweet, making it difficult to balance in equal parts with lemon. For my tastes I will likely retry w/ 1/2 oz lemon juice, while upping the Cocchi Americano to 3/4. The Cocchi is lost at 1/2, so a bit more could add some desired breadth to the flavor.
