3⁄4 oz Lemon juice

Notes

Sam Ross calls this a rye version of a Casino. Looked at another way, it's a Fancy Free Sour.

  • 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.

  • Bourbon choice matters. 3/4oz of lemon juice
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Appreciate that this tastes boozy without being super strong. I used regular strength (Conniption) gin to further make it a 'session cocktail'.

Cocktailsauced commented on 3/25/2016:

Subbed averna for nardini as I don't have it. Interesting but a little too sweet for me. Like an Italian candy bar. 

Shawn C commented on 11/17/2022:

3 to 3.5 but I can't go 4. Flavorful presentation of Nardini; although a bit sweet and with a small volume. I don't think the small ratio of gin to amaro's etc. works well in this drink. Perhaps double the gin to 1 oz. (navy strength or standard dry gin) to tone down the sweetness.

  • Orange juice then menthol tastes. Not a bad option if looking for a Fernet showcase. — ★★★
