  • Eh. Lacking something—maybe the 17th Century cocktail will suit my tastes better. NB: made it without nutmeg, which might make a difference, and went light on the bitters, which probably hurt.

Don't make this with Kappa pisco. It tastes like soap.

drinkingandthinking commented on 5/28/2021:

Made with Macchu pisco and Muz. Not too sweet and not too bitter, just right! Might add more pisco though.

  • Reminiscent of the Campari "Martini" but with more complexity. Agree with the comment that the maraschino gets lost, though more might make it too sweet.
  • Lovely variation. I'd go even easier on the Islay and maybe go up a touch on the Maraschino lest it get lost. — ★★★★

Dan commented on 10/12/2013:

I'm guessing housemade blood orange bitters, or some other brand, because Stirring's is very mild. You would hardly notice 9 drops, I thinks. This does sound great.

TheBlakester commented on 8/28/2022:

My wife’s favorite drink, ever. Made this for her literally hundreds if not thousands
of times. Upped the Laphroaig to 1/2 oz and swapped 1/2 oz of the Campari for Aperol. Used 2 dashes orange bitters (50/50 Fee bros and Regan’s orange). Add orange twist. Counterintuitively, more maraschino makes it too bitter. The extra Laphroaig smooths out in the mix.

Latin Lover

2 1⁄2 oz Vodka, Absolut
1 oz Simple syrup (Cilantro infused, see note.)
1 oz Lime juice
1 oz Egg white
3 dr Bitters, Angostura
3 spg Cilantro
Instructions

Place 3 sprigs of cilantro in a mixing glass and press with muddler to release oils. Add remainder of ingredients and dry shake vigorously for 15 seconds to emulsify egg white. Add ice and shake again for five seconds to chill. Fine strain into a chilled coupe glass and drip three drops of bitters in a row. Pull a martini pick through drops to make three hearts.

Notes

To make cilantro syrup: Add one bunch of cilantro to 1qt/1qt ratio of sugar and boiling water. Dissolve sugar, strain out solids, cool to room temperature and store in refrigerator for three days. A fresh and silky textured citrus and cilantro cocktail. Egg white can be omitted and bitters added to the shake for and equally tasty cocktail.

  • Made with Bolivar bitters. Fruity, brighter than expected, rather sweet.
