  • Nice way to feature the pear. A bit too sour - try with scant lime. No fresh mint so I subbed with mint bitters which complimented chartreuse.
  • Better with about 0.25 oz simple - 3/5 with that add.
  • Similar to, but better, than the California Widow.

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.

The Bottom Line

1 1⁄2 oz Islands Scotch, Highland Park 18
1 oz Manzanilla sherry
3⁄4 oz Bärenjäger
1⁄4 oz CioCiaro
1 ds Orange bitters
1 ds Bitters, Angostura
Instructions

Stir, strain over rocks in a rocks or serve up.
