Shawn C commented on 4/11/2023:

Haus Alpenz has a variation of this calling for Dopo Teatro in place of Punt e Mes. I did not have the Pear Eau-de-vie specified, but I did have some Schladerer Kirschwasser which is often too dry and too assertive with a cherry pit distillate essence. I expected the result to be something mediocre, but the combination of Dopo Teatro, kirschwasser and R&W Apricot liqueur made for an excellent flavor trio. A complex and satisfying sipper.

  • Not that interesting.
  • Solid 4 as written. I made again with 6-8 dashes ango and two shakes of chinese 5 spices - that version I'd give a 5. — ★★★★
  • With my homemade grenadine, this was a bit tart, and the chartreuse got surprisingly buried, but still quite likable. Bitters experiment from comments might be worth trying. — ★★★★
  • Nothing surprising or challenging here but a superb and well balanced drink. Very much in the style of some of the great classics.

  • Meh. Like a more fruty army navy
  • Quite tasty.
  • In 12 Bottle Bar, p. 154. Nice malty flavor of Bols Genever & peppery spice of Rittenhouse Rye. Upped homemade orgeat to 1 oz & may cut lime to 3/4 oz. Interesting variation on Mai Tai.

  • Used Hefeweizen rather than IPA. Beer adds excellent contrast to Mai Tai.
  • Good. The IPA lengthens and adds a grapefruity bitterness.

1 t Sugar

This works fine made with 1:1 sugar syrup rather than ordinary sugar and you don't have to worry about it dissolving (or rather, not).

  • Corpse Reviver variant
  • Add more Cocchi Americano to balance lime
  • Nice easy-drinking sour. Nonino provides enough sweetness to balance everythng else. Almost tastes grapefruity.
