I used Woodford's and Ardbeg, and it was fantastic!

Malty Puppy commented on 6/30/2015:

Made with Buffalo Trace / Redbreast 12 / Laphroaig 10 / BT Jerry Thomas bitters. Smooth and full of bourbon barrel flavors. For me, it's better served straight up.

Thanks for sharing this recipe.

applejack commented on 8/06/2019:

I was looking for ideas on using up some pineapple syrup and came across this.  Love the name, loved the NES game.  Very tasty, perhaps a touch sweet for me (using James E. Pepper 1776 100 proof Rye, Chalfonte VSOP, and a pineapple syrup of 1:1 of fresh pressed pineapple juice and cane sugar).  Bitters weren't specified; I used DeGroff's Pimento Bitters as I felt that would be a good fit.  Have some Earl Grey tea infused cognac I'm going to try with this.

  • Tried with Johnny Walker Black Label; liked the smokiness but want to try with Monkey Shoulder. Wanted the Laphroaig to peek through more.
  • Dark roastey coffee flavors. Would scale down.

Me and My Grandfather

3⁄4 oz Pisco
3⁄4 oz Cognac
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
3⁄4 oz Simple syrup
Instructions

Shake, strain, up.

Notes

1. Shellenberger attempted to aromatize his Pisco by redistilling it with mistelle (unfermeted grape juice); perhaps a rinse of Pineau des Charentes, or a muddled grape or two, could produce a similar aroma. 2. An extra-aged grape spirit mingling with an unaged one; geddit?

  • Less simple syrup next time -- a little too sweet. I like it, though.

Really good drink! I added 1/2oz of orange juice and didn't have vanilla syrup so I used cinnamon syrup and added a dash of vanilla.  Really good!

  • I subbed 1.75 Laphroaig 10 and .25 Laphroaig Quarter Cask. I shook this as it had lime. I liked it, then remembered I didn't float the Campari. Did that and then thought it was only so so (probably a 3). Skip the Campari!

  • Really good, but I made mine a bit different with Ketel One grapefruit/rose with a dash of rose water. Maybe I'll try the original using Grey Goose Poire since I can't get the Hangar One...
