Jeff Moore commented on 5/08/2020:

This cocktail is phenomenal!!!  I upped the nocino to AT LEAST 1/2 oz & used 1 dash or Orange bitters & 1 dash of Black Walnut bitters...  this is now on my go-to regular rotation

Shawn C commented on 10/17/2022:

This is a very good cocktail. I was concerned that the mild flavor of Amaro Nonino would be lost here, but it works. I used a batch of Abbott's bitters I just made based on Darcy O'Neil's recipe (I am quite pleased with them.) Other components were Nux Alpina and Courvoisier VSOP. A slightly drier cognac than I used might be a better choice for this drink.

  • I only had Crema de Mezcal so I used that, but it was still really good. I love the form factor of the giant cube with this drink.
  • We both like this, but K prefers with an equal-split in base (3/4 oz ea gin+mezcal). — ★★★★
  • Responsible use of mezcal and clever construction. — ★★★
  • Subbed Becharovka for cinnamon syrup. One or two too many things going on in this, to my taste.
  • Made with 2:1 turbinado syrup. This is really really good. Luxardo and Mezcal work well together, though I might lower the amount of Luxardo to a heavy 1/4 next time.

Subbed Del Maguey Las Milpas for the Hendricks & Vida, worked out nice.

  • Replaced razmotti with Dillon's black walnut Amaro
  • Maybe a hair more chartreuse next time
  • Would give 4.5 if I could. Very solid bourbon cocktail manhattan variant; agree with above comments that there is room to tweak with bitters.
  • Promising. Room for bitters as well.
  • Enjoyable boozy cocktail for any time of year.
  • Made with Bulleit 10 year. Very good - I might add some non-potable bitters as well. 4.5
  • Another nice thing to do with Bourbon. Might tweak up the bitter components a bit

drinkingandthinking commented on 9/25/2019:

To me this is just a slightly more herbal/complex Manhattan, which might be great if I loved Manhattans. I mean, it's good, but not great. Whatevs, I'd drink it again before I'd drink a regular Manhattan.

Boomerang Cocktail (Crosby Gaige)

1 oz Rye
3⁄4 oz Sweet vermouth
3⁄4 oz Swedish Punsch
2 ds Lemon juice
1 ds Bitters, Angostura
Instructions

Shake (or stir), strain, up.

Notes

This version is from Crosby Gaige's 1944 "Standard Cocktail Guide." The earlier traditional Savoy and the Café Royal Cocktail recipes call for equal parts of the primary ingredients with dry rather than sweet vermouth.

Shawn C commented on 6/26/2024:

We need to change the name to match the source as an altered recipe (Crosby Gaige, 1944) since there are other variations out there and the classic Boomerang is equal parts with dry vermouth, not sweet. It could just have been an error in Gaige's book, which is unfortunate since the classic is actually quite good and balanced. Interestingly, there is a much different version published in French in a 1924 Swiss cocktail book by Carlo Beltramo who was bartender at Bergues in Geneva (?) It says this variant with gin, maraschino, dry and sweet vermouth was popular in South Africa at the time.
