  • I made this with Brugal anejo, Pierre Ferrand dry curaçao, and I subbed in Punt e yes for the Lillet rouge. This cocktail really brought out the flavor of the barrel for me.
  • Faked the Lillet with half Martini Rosso and half Cocchi Americano. Kinda sweet, kinda unexciting. I can see maybe the reproportioning suggested in the comment being worth trying.
  • I make 2oz rum, 1oz vermouth, 1/4oz cointreau. I think it's a better drier balance this way.

noksagt commented on 12/28/2022:

This cocktail appears in the Hugo Ensslin's Recipes for Mixed Drinks (1917) with a mere two dashes of curacao. I prefer this drier "rum manhattan with a bit of orange" approach.

yarm commented on 12/29/2022:

My build is closer to 2 oz aged rum, 1 oz sweet vermouth, 1/8 oz (1 tsp) dry curaçao. Not sure where the Lillet Rouge came in, but a little bitter complexity from a quinquina or perhaps a split of sweet vermouth & Punt e Mes would do no harm (but it's not the classic way).

  • Expected a smoky OF. Not far off but well integrated and interesting.
  • Probably my favorite old fashioned variation. Great especially for the fall. I don't find it too hot or raw, but I love Laird's Bonded, which admittedly, does take the foreground.
  • Made with calvados, Weller, and Bowmore Legend. Surprisingly raw finish.

bostonwineguy commented on 3/25/2019:

Made exactly as listed. Was a bit rough - Laird's, I've found, is a bit too hot/rough as a primary spirit for me. Works well when supporting and with balancing sweetness (particularly maple notes, demerara syrup, apple juice//cider).
