  • A grown-up Orange Julius. Goes fast! — ★★★★
  • Equal parts all
  • Sounds overly sweet as written. Add citrus and a dry spirit. Consider augmenting orange juice with Aperol/Montenegro in other cocktails that call for it.

Craig E commented on 8/13/2014:

Is this really supposed to be strained? I don't really get the 4oz drink in an empty highball.

Zachary Pearson commented on 8/13/2014:

Craig,

It looks like that's the case, though Matt says "shake the drink until it fully expands", so I'd imagine the texture and volume are significantly different than a normal drink.

Thanks,

Zachary

illusionistlynx commented on 4/07/2025:

Since I did not have Pear eau de vie, I used 1 .5 oz McClintock's Spiced Pear Liqueur and 1/4 oz rich simple syrup (2:1) in order to approximate the original recipe. Pear, Lemon and Orange meld very well with the Hefeweizen to form a balanced cocktail. I used Paulaner Hefeweizen. The spice from the McClintock's is welcome, but possibly not intended in the recipe as written.

  • Definitely reduce the Fernet Branca by half, at least! Also increase the whiskey and/or rum. Perhaps add two dashes of orange bitters.

MOJO1229 commented on 5/14/2017:


"Count Loretto" should be considered as a WORK IN PROGRESS. I made this cocktail in a half-portion, and I'm glad I did, because making a full portion would have been a waste of good whiskey, rum, and Fernet Branca.

As is, the Fernet Branca overwhems the rum, and nearly overwhelms the whiskey. After the initial taste, I eye-balled my additions, adding 1/8 oz each of whiskey and rum, and 2 drops of Fee Bros. gin barrel-aged orange bitters.

Without these changes, I rate the libation at 2.0; with the changes I rate it at 2.5.
