DrunkLab commented on 12/07/2013:

Campari + cassis almost gives me the impression that there's sloe gin in the drink; they combine into one dark, tart berry flavor with a long, bitter finish. The orange notes of Campari only become apparent as the drink warms up.


Mixin In Ansley commented on 8/22/2024:

I’d say a 5 for a full-throttle, no-fuss, low alcohol drink. Well balanced and more interesting than it sounds.


Faux Stone Fence

2 oz Rye
1 oz Apple cider (reduction, see note)
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
1⁄4 oz Maple syrup (grade b preferred)
Instructions

Combine 1 oz. concentrated cider, rye, lemon juice, and maple syrup in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake vigorously, and strain into a cocktail glass (with or without ice). Garnish with ginger slices or lemon rind. Serve immediately.

Notes

To make the cider reduction: In a medium saucepan, over high heat, boil 2 cups of apple cider until it has reduced by half to 1 cup, about 20 minutes. Cool over an ice bath until at room temperature.

Curated this a bit - Clarified the recipe, moved cider reduction instructions to the notes section. Removed "fresh" from lemon juice - we always assume juices, etc. are fresh.

  • Subtle and satisfying. The ingredients can be slightly modified and/or substituted to create an equally great drink with what you have on hand. — ★★★★★
  • Worked well with Flor de Cana 12. Try subbing in 0.5 oz of Malibu.
  • Good, but a tad sweet. Blanc vermouth instead?
  • Used Bulleit 10, Mt. Gay Eclipse, Vya Vermouth. Very nice.
  • Accidentally used Cruzan Black Strap and did not regret it one bit. ★★★★★
  • Made one of these with Maker's Mark, A.H. Riise Danish Navy Rum, and Martini sweet vermouth. It was excellent. I'll be trying other variations. I think the whiskey/rum/falernum combination is excellent.
  • Made with Pyrat XO. Accessible though strong. Sweet and orangey. Often boozy + orangey = medicinal, but likably not here. The falernum is ingenious key here. — ★★★★
  • Spices, orange

Curated to conform to reference, reducing vermouth and falernum from 1 oz to 1/2 oz. Also removed excessive quote from source for copyright reasons. Added attribution details.

This is really a great drink. To me, it's like the mirror image of a Martinez. Very three-dimensional.
