  • I added 1/4 oz Luxardo for flavor. I liked it, but I'll try 1/2 oz next. I'll also try cherry bitters, to see if it works better than the Luxardo. Without the Luxardo, I would rate this cocktail as 3.0.

  • Bold and beautiful. Also goes well with an orange garnish.
  • Bitter and smokey, good, but not amazing. I think there are better things to do with mescal.

Unless there's a lot of strong feeling, I'm going to merge the Oaxacan Negroni into this drink tomorrow. This is three years older and actually equal parts. Thanks,  Zachary

  • Made with Black Bottle and Lustau Los Arcos. Vermouth, lemon oil, and Scotch on the nose, with heavy vanilla sweetness on the sip, and dry savory sherry and some malt/smoke on the swallow. Try again with a strong malt.

DrunkLab commented on 11/23/2013:

This is a nice way to dry out Carpano Antica for sipping, but not a great showcase for the other ingredients, nor do the flavors coalesce into something new. Next time I'll try it with the sherry bumped up to 3/4 oz and a strong single malt rather than a blend.

The Sure Thing

1 1⁄2 oz Gin, Tanqueray 10 (chamomile-infused)
3⁄4 oz Aromatized wine, Cocchi Americano
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
1⁄2 oz Bianco Vermouth, Dolin
1⁄2 oz Honey syrup (1:1)
Instructions

Shake, strain, up, garnish with a thyme sprig speared through a cucumber slice.

Notes

To make the chamomile infusion, combine 3 ounces of dried chamomile flowers (whole buds if possible) with a 750-mL bottle of Tanqueray No. Ten Gin in a large container. Cover, and let stand overnight. Strain out the chamomile and rebottle.

  • Not bad. Very Orangey, a little bitter. Not particularly interesting, but a fun way to use a bit of orange juice or something.
  • Oof. Does not work at all for me.

  • Complex, spicy, smoky. Nice festive zing.
  • Boozy, but balanced. Everything plays well in this one. Cheers!
  • Death and Co.
  • Death and Co. uses two dashes mole bitters, but I usually find 2 dashes overwhelming
  • Smoky, with good balance of sweetness
  • Dry and complex as was mentioned. Well balanced for a drinker down with smoke (I used Vida).
