  • To be fair, I shook the Heering into the drink. But I found this cocktail to taste remarkably like a Tootsie Roll! It had me googling whether Tootsie Rolls were truly chocolate. What curious alchemy!
  • Autumn Cocktails
  • The cherry heering slipped right off the ice and sunk to the bottom--so presentation won't win any awards. Tasty, accessible, sweet drink though.

following the recipe to a t, and I found it too sweet. I upped the Pigs Nose to 2 oz and used 1/2 oz of 1:1 honey syrup and voila! A great cocktail in my opinion.

  • Tasty, exotic. I didn't have Martinique rum, used 1.75 cachaca and .25 Lemon Hart Demerara 151. Subbed bitters, used 3 dashes liquid gold, 2 dashes creole and some chinese 5 spice dried spice.

A little help on the basil please. Is it muddled? Just thrown in and shaken with ice? Just garnish?

3⁄4 oz Fernet Branca
3⁄4 oz Ginger syrup
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice

Run leaf along the inside of the serving glass to express oils. Shake, strain, up, float leaf.

Notes

You want a strong, spicy ginger syrup or liqueur—something milder like Canton will get drowned out by all the other big flavors.

  • Delicious. I really like that the Fernet doesn't take over but is definitely present. My wife gives it a 2 and she hates Fernet, if that says anything. — ★★★★
  • I wasn't expecting this to be so good. Delicious. Industry Sour-like, but the bourbon kinda mellows it out a bit and the ginger plays nice.

  • I’ve been on the hunt for a new pisco drink to try and this was truly fantastic. Was also happy to see Strega as an ingredient (instead of the far more common yellow chartreuse, which I just can’t acquire)—it adds such a great flavor to certain combos! — ★★★★★
  • A slightly more interesting Pisco Sour.
