This seems to very limey to us; the lime took over, and the pear liqueur and chartreuse were lost in the mix. We aren't going to mess with the proportions, will just cross this one off the list.

Renamed from Tender Knob to match source reference. Seems like a vulgar name, however.

Tenderloin and Nob Hill are adjacent neighborhoods in SF, the latter being affluent and the former being considerably less so. "Tender Nob" refers to the area between the two. The cocktail creator is based in SF and this uses both "affluent" cognac and "less affluent" Wild Turkey.

The double entendre is likely lost on nobody, but this is hardly "vulgar for vulgarity's sake".

Quite sweet and herbal. Okay, but sugar buries the base spirits without adequate counterbalance. There is some interesting herbal flavor but it is not matched with the rest.

bwian commented on 4/28/2016:

Too sweet for my tastes, but the flavors are nice. Next time I'll probably omit the Aperol in favor of several dashes of bitters.

  • Solid. Essentially a Jet Pilot, but works nicely in this up-served variation. Quantity of ingredients are a tad much for my coupe glasses, but there are worse problems to have.

More of a Jet Pilot than a Zombie - it's pretty much literally a Jet Pilot with the Herbstura separated and the absinthe/herbsaint being used as a wash, served up. Probably my favorite flavor combo, but I do prefer it over crushed ice. Still delicious.

Suave Zombie or sophisticated Jet Pilot? Delicious either way!
