Pretty good, but the Vergano bianco is just so delicious on its own or with a splash of soda and a twist.

The source calls for an olive that most modern incarnations omit. But...it is "interesting".

  • Went with bar spoon of Allspice Dram. Go skosh on lemon juice to allow mezcal and Allspice to come through.
  • Tasty, but would make again with 1/8 oz allspice dram, as it tends to bully the other flavors - i.e. I couldn't really distinguish the pear

  • Try the chocolate bitters next time.
  • Made with Pear Williams eau de vie and a mild mezcal instead of tequila. Seemed somewhat unbalanced and extremely pear forward.
  • Tried this as described first - excellent. Added a dash of Bitter Truth Xocolatl Mole bitters - even better! — ★★★★★
  • Looks unbalanced

  • Interesting. Didn't have the moroccan bitters and what I used was too sweet. Port / cynar combo is nice. Maybe more work to be done.

This might be the last place I thought I'd see a Suicide File reference. I need some Pineapple Gum Syrup.
