  • Excellent OF riff. 5 twists are not necessary. I used three and orange flavor was plenty.

Shawn C commented on 5/19/2023:

Bracingly bitter with alcohol heat, but with just enough balancing richness to make this a complex and interesting drink. Unicum is the star, but well supported by the Cherry Heering, orange liqueur, and orange peel. (I stirred liquid ingredients with ice, then strained into rocks glass with a large rock and three orange peels.) An engaging sipper.

  • A bit too sweet for my tastes. I prefer 1:0.75:0.75 pisco:chartreuse:suze.
  • The cocktail seems to bit large. I would do 3/4 oz of everything instead of 1oz.

Cocktail came out a bit on the large size. I'd do 3/4oz of the pisco/chartreuse/suze instead of the full oz instead.

lesliec commented on 3/19/2019:

Delicious, and I have no problem with the size (maybe I just have big glasses). But what struck me most is how much it looks, smells and tastes like Strega. This is by no means a bad thing.

  • Fantastic. Bitter, sweet, herbal, smoky. Made with Talisker Skye. A late summer sunset with a cigar.
  • Dark, smoky, sweet, and sophisticated. Could take the place of dessert. Overwhelming smokiness lessens after a few sips. Dark caramel and tobacco.

Mixed up in Na… commented on 5/18/2020:

We made it strictly according to the recipe: at that sweetness, perhaps better as dessert drink than aperitif. (Spouse says, though: No sweeter than a Manhattan.)  We’ll try with slightly less PX Sherry.  Rich & balanced: all the flavors come through.

Notes

Cross between a Bamboo and a Tuxedo, originally named Hanfu for traditional Chinese formalwear (because Panda Tux is a terrible name, and pandas are shiftless and unfortunate animals).

Notes

There are five or six cocktails named Tuxedo (at least), all supposedly originating from the same club at the turn of the last century. Here's one of the simpler and, to my palate, better ones.

History

Per David Wondrich, this is the original version of the Tuxedo from the Tuxedo Club, which opened in 1886.

  • Not sure the spec on the honey ginger syrup is, but this was overpoweringly sweet. If I were to make again, I'd omit entirely and add a little ginger juice or similar and let the Benedictine carry the honey flavors.

  • 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.
