  • The lower EtOH from water is an interesting/unusual direction for a drink like this. I like it! Went light on the simple (.5bsp?) as per the comment.
  • Strong flavors and boozy. Nice variation to the usual manhattan
  • Next time, no simple syrup
  • No need for the simple.
  • Heavy wormwood from their house vermouth infusion melds with the anise from the Chartreuse for a strong absinthe flavor.

I find that walnut liqueurs can be overpowering, to the point where you loose all other flavors. So, I reduced this to 1/4 oz. I love it! Not overly sweet, and actually the first walnut drink I will make again! Oh, and I used Nocello. Perhaps Nocello is a sweeter walnut liqueur.

Bevx commented on 12/13/2014:

Yeah, I'm gonna update the recipe. I think I meant for it to be 1/2 oz coffee & 1/4 oz walnut, instead of the other way around. I use Nocello in this too, and you're right: it's VERY sweet & powerful... Also, I use Luxardo Espresso Liqueur which is more "coffee-y" and less sweet than some others, helping punch through that wall of walnut.

Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

  • French 75’ with cranberry. Lime juice mixes better with the sour cran than the lemon imo. We used a 50/50 mix with a Freixenet cava. Be sure to double strain.
  • A little sweet, use dryer bubbly or less sugar
