  • Absolutely wonderful on the nose! Taste is nicely balanced too, but careful with the FB. Might try a quick stir and strain next time, to start the drink off cooler. — ★★★★

  • Used ginger liqueur. Good but not much more than the sum of its parts.

Curated this slightly. Added garnish to the ingredients. Cleaned up the "creator" attribution. Added date as 1920 (which is around 90 years ago - see the other Pisco Sour in KC). Changed drink from Original Creation to Unknown.

A few questions - would a 1920's era Victor Morris have had a blender to mix this drink? Can you clarify the step after the blending? It sounds like the intent is to shake the blended ingredients over ice for 10 seconds, then strain into a glass.

Thanks,

Zachary


I also doubt the use of a blender, although the gomme syrup seems legit. I personally like the classic sour ratio of 4:2:1

  • Wow really good. Subtle. Anise forward. Made with 2oz Brandy, which I think it needs. I forget about Yellow Chartreuse, it really does some work here.
  • Licorice and mint drawn out.
  • Used Maison Rouge VSOP Cognac in place of the brandy. Nice "Negroni-like" (or "Parisian/French Negroni") alternative for those who can't handle Campari. — ★★★★★
  • 20200108 Subtle. Try with Difford's ratios.
  • Pode fazer com 2 oz de cognac
