  • Used cachaca in place of the 1/2oz rum; agree with reduced syrup to 1/4oz (used homemade cinnamon syrup), increase Banane du Bresil by 1/4oz for more banana power, 2 dash Ango + 2 dash Amargo Chuncho Peruvian bitters. — ★★★★★
  • I find this works even better than the original by exchanging the rums in the original recipe for 2oz of Plantation Xaymaca and using 1/4oz of 2:1 cinnamon syrup.
  • Made with BG Reynolds Cinnamon Syrup and Marie Giffard Banane du Bresil More like a 4.5 for me. Only not a 5 because I get almost no banana in this; the cinnamon seems to swallow it up.

A rosé version of their flagship cocktail. I altered with rhubarb bitters to brighten it and tone down the elderflower a bit; a longer than normal twist also helps to mellow the sweetness

TheTaj commented on 12/22/2021:

Important detail - make sure you don't use an overproof Jamaican rum like Smith & Cross for this recipe. If you do, the alcohol content will be too high and the egg white will cook resulting in a goopy unappetizing mess of a cocktail with no foam. Regular strength 80 proof rum works great though!

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?
