Kindred Cocktails commented on 2/12/2017:

Renamed from Tender Knob to match source reference. Seems like a vulgar name, however.

noksagt commented on 2/12/2017:

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".

Shawn C commented on 8/13/2023:

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.

Too sweet for my tastes, but the flavors are nice. Next time I'll probably omit the Aperol in favor of several dashes of bitters.

  • Solid. Essentially a Jet Pilot, but works nicely in this up-served variation. Quantity of ingredients are a tad much for my coupe glasses, but there are worse problems to have.

brett kozinn commented on 6/22/2017:

More of a Jet Pilot than a Zombie - it's pretty much literally a Jet Pilot with the Herbstura separated and the absinthe/herbsaint being used as a wash, served up. Probably my favorite flavor combo, but I do prefer it over crushed ice. Still delicious.

Robbyfresh commented on 4/12/2019:

Suave Zombie or sophisticated Jet Pilot? Delicious either way!

  • I subbed Punt e Mes for the CAF. This consequently gained an interesting hint of bitterness, but lost some richness. It may have too many things going on in any event--don't think I'd ever choose this over a Sazerac proper.
