  • Used Jim Beam. Perhaps better with tastier bourbon. Could be more interesting with rye - I think the spiciness of the rye would work better.

  • The rare tasty orange juice drink. A model of a balanced cocktail: every ingredient plays a role. — ★★★★★
  • Very nicely balanced. Not too boozy, not too sweet, not too citrus. The allspice on the tail is just right.

  • a bit sweet, maybe skinny 1/4 on the Maraschino next time.
  • TRY THIS
  • Improved with 1/2 oz dry vermouth.
  • Really good. Other ingredients pull peanut butter out of the Rittenhouse I used. Appealing finish.

Used Fernet Branca - perhaps the menthol with that one is too strong. Could see a lemon peel adding to it. 

Didn't have Macadamia bitters, so used chocolate bitters to avoid introducing anything totally foreign to the drink. A great recipe, but hard to describe. More than the sum of its parts, which are all recognizable in the taste. It's a drink that makes you think.

Nice to find a recipe specifically calling for Luxardo Fernet now that I've acquired a bottle to explore beyond Fernet Branca.
