  • Made with Espolon blanco. Tasty, but a bit forward on cynar. Would make again and test a Reposado or different ratios. — ★★★★
  • Tasty but nothing super surprising. Also quite small. Up the sherry, probably? 3.5★
  • Very nice notes from the sherry and orange bitters. Perhaps a bit to sweet.
  • Made with blanco. Easy drinking, with a lightly bitter finish. It is a little small as noted.
  • Very good. Tequila and Cynar marry well together, and the orange notes are excellent, with the sherry moderating. I would add to it: 1.5 oz tequila, 3/4 oz sherry, maybe a dash more Cynar, to fill out the glass.

What style of sherry would you recommend, Rafa? I'm thinking something on the dry side ...

DrunkLab commented on 11/01/2013:

Hello Leslie,

You are correct, the recipe calls for a dry sherry. I've updated this entry accordingly. I imagine an amontillado would be ideal, but I used a fino and enjoyed the drink, and an oloroso would probably make a fine drink as well, though a rich and nutty one.

With a dry sherry, this is nearly identical to the Choke Artist cocktail, with the main difference being the different quantities of bitters. I imagine that Boudreau is measuring out of a Yarai bitters dasher like he uses at Canon; these give smaller dashes than standard bottles, and one or two dashes out of a bottle of say Regan's is possibly closer to the recipe as Boudreau makes it.

Notes

Birch Beer seems to be a dying soft drink outside of Pennsylvania and a few places in New England, but its old-world, teaberry flavor keeps bringing me back to it as a mixer

DrunkLab commented on 10/31/2013:

Birch beer is delicious and the examples I've had tend to be less sweet and more forest-y than root beer. Good idea for a cocktail ingredient.

Cocktailian commented on 11/02/2013:

I've actually been debating making a birch beer syrup or tincture because the soda's been so hard to get in the Midwest. I'll post if it turns out

  • I'm guessing this varies considerably based on bourbon. I used Johnny Drum Private Stock. Not sure mezcal did much. Perhaps a spray or two of Laphroaig 10yr would be better.
