  • Not sure the spec on the honey ginger syrup is, but this was overpoweringly sweet. If I were to make again, I'd omit entirely and add a little ginger juice or similar and let the Benedictine carry the honey flavors.

  • Went a touch shy on the lemon and liked the balance. Used old granddad bonded. The lemon and pepper are nice together and the maraschino adds some complexity.
  • Refreshing change for a serial Manhattan drinker.

  • Nice drink although the experience feels a little unfocused.
  • refreshing and interesting, not too difficult to make but also not that complex
  • Used just a bit of simple - nice drink
  • I use a bit of extra cassis and no simple. Fell in love with this cocktail at Clyde Common happy hour in 2015 or so after hiking Forest Park trails. Popular at my house late summer 2017...
  • Used the full 1/2 oz simple and didn't seem too sweet. (I wonder if my cassis is esp. tart.) Accessible like a whiskey sour but more interesting. — ★★★★★

1/2 oz. simple is too much for my taste. I'd start with none and go from there.

Key Lime Fizz

1 1⁄2 oz Light rum
3⁄4 oz Lime juice
1⁄2 oz Falernum, Velvet Falernum
1⁄2 oz Ginger syrup
1⁄2 oz Cynar
1 ? Egg white
2 ds Bitters, Angostura
1 oz Soda water
Instructions

Dry shake all ingredients but soda water. Shake with ice. Strain into a chilled collins glass with ice. Top with soda water and float an Angostura design.

Notes

For an even more desserty drink, use vanilla syrup or orgeat in place of ginger syrup.

  • Not sure what to think about this. It's ok...it's a solid 3. Maybe try with different gin. Used Sage which can overpower some.

Satan's Circus

2 oz Rye
1 oz Campari (Bird Chili Infused)
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
3⁄4 oz Cherry Liqueur, Cherry Heering
Notes

The original calls for .75 ounces of chili-infused Campari, but increasing the amount of Campari to 1 or 1.25 ounces balances the Cherry Heering and adds more spice.
