Made this with El Dorado 12, Finn River Habanero Cider, and homemade allspice dram. So delicious and autumnal! Cheers!

Choke up, little Suzy

1 oz Gin
1 oz Cynar
1 oz Suze
1 sli Orange peel
Instructions

Stir with a big ice cube in an Old Fashioned glass, Express orange peel and drop in.

History

This is what happens when you try to make a Suzette but grab the Cynar bottle instead of the sweet vermouth. Is it possible to make a bad Negroni variant, however far from the original you stray?

Very good. The liqueurs stand out more than the grapefruit and together create a light cola note. A good converter for the Fernet-phobic.

  • Not bad, but a bit heavy on the mezcal. Maybe a less smoky one, although I love Vida. Also, what's up with the apple? Not complaining, just curious...

It IS quite smoky - wouldn't hurt to have something to play off of that.
