  • Thought this would be really sweet...but nicely balanced. Used Laphroaig 10yr, Lazzaroni Maraschino, Carpano Antica. If not smokey enough, burn a piece of rosemary over the cocktail & cover for 3-4 min.
  • I used Laphroaig Triple Wood and Cherry Heering instead. Fantastic!
  • A pretty good use of Bowmore.
  • Very nice. Not as smokey as expected with Bowmore Legend. Use home cherry liqueur. — ★★★★

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?
