Curated this slightly - we assume you're going to have fresh lemons on hand.

Thanks,

Zachary

Arrack commented on 1/26/2014:

Thanks Zachary - may need to review again, I had copied the wrong recipe by mistake and had to rewrite

Zachary Pearson commented on 1/26/2014:

That's easy enough - I can make the changes, but you should have an edit button just below the cocktail.

Thanks,

Rob Marais commented on 1/21/2014:

Quite nice, actually. Especially while listening to vintage cuts by Jim Reeves, Patsy Cline or Chet Atkins. The "Nashville Sound" genre was often referred to locally in Nashville as "Countrypolitan". Frankly, though, I'd stick with the lemon in this.

DrunkLab commented on 1/21/2014:

I agree, I just listed lime in this recipe recipe as Wondrich hadn't indicated otherwise. Patsy Cline a must, though I also enjoy the more contemporary take on the Nashville Sound linked in the notes.

Zachary Pearson commented on 1/21/2014:

If you've never heard Hem - they were a big deal a few years back - it's lovely dreamy Countrypolitan.

Thanks,

Zachary

  • To reduce the bitterness, I reduced the Fernet Branca to 0.80 oz and increased the Rittenhouse to 1.25 oz. Still too bitter. Added another 1 oz Rittenhouse and 1 dash bitters. Better but rate 2.0 Suggest 0.33 to 0.50 oz Fernet Branca.
  • I love how the Fernet Branca and yellow Charteuse play together!

Not bad - I used Cruzan black strap, Worthy Park and Appleton. Might be better without the super dark substitute and with the overproof.
