  • I subbed Punt e Mes for the CAF. This consequently gained an interesting hint of bitterness, but lost some richness. It may have too many things going on in any event--don't think I'd ever choose this over a Sazerac proper.

  • Used a good mezcal. But Averna and a really cheap creme de cacao. Still very good and complex. Will definitely serve this to professional bartender friends to make them feel inadequate.
  • Made (as noted by someone else) with green chartreuse & reduced lime. Deliciously decadent!! Great after dinner. — ★★★★★
  • Had to use Green Charteuse. Reduced lime to 5/8 oz.
  • MUST TRY

Haus Alpenz has a variation of this calling for Dopo Teatro in place of Punt e Mes. I did not have the Pear Eau-de-vie specified, but I did have some Schladerer Kirschwasser which is often too dry and too assertive with a cherry pit distillate essence. I expected the result to be something mediocre, but the combination of Dopo Teatro, kirschwasser and R&W Apricot liqueur made for an excellent flavor trio. A complex and satisfying sipper.

  • Not that interesting.
  • Solid 4 as written. I made again with 6-8 dashes ango and two shakes of chinese 5 spices - that version I'd give a 5. — ★★★★
  • With my homemade grenadine, this was a bit tart, and the chartreuse got surprisingly buried, but still quite likable. Bitters experiment from comments might be worth trying. — ★★★★
  • Nothing surprising or challenging here but a superb and well balanced drink. Very much in the style of some of the great classics.
