In Brighter Flames Array'd

1 1⁄4 oz Apple brandy, Germain-Robin
1 oz Madeira (Rainwater)
3⁄4 oz Ginger liqueur, Domaine de Canton
1⁄4 oz Amaro Sibilla
20 dr Bitters, Bittered Sling Moondog
Instructions

Stir, strain, up.

Notes

This will probably be better with Sercial - the older the better. It needs a bit of cut, and reducing the ginger liqueur isn't going to do it. The bitters are interesting - smoky, minty/herbal.

  • Sooo good! Cinnamon syrup works well in this, but interested in trying variations. Also, I used 10 yr taylor's tawny port and upped it to 1/2 oz. Heavy!

Delicious. Didn't have any Orinoco bitters so I used 50/50 cardamom and Angostura. Nicely done 4/5.

Excellent dessert cocktail. Subbed Powers Gold Label. Found it well balanced and reminiscent of a baked good; don't ask me how.

  • Tried it up. Very sweet and sour; probably worth trying the crushed ice version. Pineapple and chartreuse are a natural pairing. — ★★★★

Needs curation for an error in the current listed recipe, and for a dead/compromised link. The old link results in a redirect that is blocked by my anti-virus software. I took a look with the Wayback Machine and the following capture looks like a good replacement for the current link: https://web.archive.org/web/20140604231349/www.deathtosourmix.com/mxmo-… (Some of the later versions had missing parts on the page.) The recipe should be 1 dash of the Mission Fig bitters rather than 1 oz.

  • Nice, balanced spirit-forward cocktail. Watch the amount of benedictine.
  • Alto Cucina/Doe's Path via Vieux Carre. Found via Eric's Tumblr.

Being a huge Cynar fan, it fit right in with this Vieux Carre variation. Nicely done.

brett kozinn commented on 7/30/2018:

Nice, but the Cynar gets a bit lost for me. Might up it to 3/4 and try again.

  • The Peychauds make this pretty but add little taste given the Galliano. I like the idea of this as a 2 ingredient 1:1 cocktail.

Nice drink but this is really nothing like a sazarac.

1 oz Bianco Vermouth, Dolin
1 oz Dry vermouth, Dolin
2 ds Orange bitters
