  • Actually on the sweeter side with a lot of herbal/pine-like overtones. I'd consider subbing Campari for Aperol to bring down sweetness, or use 3/4 oz. of the 3 most prominent ingredients.

How's that Calisaya? I think K&L called it Grand Marnier meets Nonino, which sounds ok but a little sweet.

DrunkLab commented on 9/04/2013:

I haven't tried it, though I'm curious to; the blog linked mentions it's similar in sweetness and texture to Gran Classico, though with a lingering syrupy residue on the tongue. As you mention, Driscoll at K&L's a fan.

Kind of like cranberry juice. Going heavier on the Ramazzotti makes it better.

Maharaja Buck

1 1⁄2 oz Gin (cardamom infused, see note)
1 oz Lime juice
3⁄4 oz Simple syrup (turmeric infused, see note)
1⁄2 oz Tamarind jam (see note)
3 oz Ginger beer (to top)
1 sli Lime (wheel, as garnish)
Instructions

Shake everything except ginger beer, strain into an ice filled Collins glass, top with ginger beer.

Notes

So Matt doesn't remember the recipes for the ingredients, so I'll take a swing at them. For the gin, I'd either use something like Small's that is super cardamom, or infuse a tablespoon of lightly crushed green cardamom pods into a London Dry gin until it's flavored. For the turmeric syrup, I would think it's a 2:1 simple with the addition of 1 teaspoon of grated turmeric per each cup of sugar. For the tamarind jam, dissolve tamarind paste with barely enough hot water to remove fibers and seeds, then add sugar back to it to make it thick and jammy.

  • A good drink. I used 3/8oz simple and found it sweet enough for me. Not sure I could detect such a small amount of Kirschwasser given its mild flavor and the drink's other strong flavors. — ★★★★

Curated this: Merged the Barbary Lights into this drink - the Cuzco erroneously had lime juice instead of the lemon juice at the cited link. Changed lime juice to lemon juice. Thanks,  Zachary

drinkingandthinking commented on 5/10/2019:

Nice, but a bit sweet. A bit less simple syrup (1/2 oz.), plus a bit more lemon (3/4 0z.) and I actually upped the kirsch to 1/4 oz.

MOJO1229 commented on 7/16/2016:

<br />For years, a Gin & Tonic has been a standard for me, especially on hot summer days. After drinking "All Hail To The Arsenal" it has taken over that long revered spot. It's more complex in taste: Consider instead of gin, tonic, and lime juice, you now have also more lime juice, Campari, Triple Sec, and Bittercube Cherry Bark Vanilla Bitters. A far more complex drink, indeed. Some may find Camparai's bitterness unpleasant despite the addition of other ingredients. Perhaps reducing the amount of Campari from 1oz to 3/4 oz may do the trick. Others may want to reduce the lime juice to 3/4 oz. I was hesitant to put 1 oz of lime juice, but in my opinion, it worked ouf fine. Try, experiment, and imbibe what I consider to be a fine summer drink.

Yacht Rock

1 1⁄2 oz Coconut milk
1 1⁄2 oz Orange juice
1 oz Pisco, Campo de Encanto
1⁄2 oz Campari (or Aperol)
1⁄4 oz Galliano
2 dr Orange flower water
1 dr Vanilla extract
1 ds Orange cream citrate, Bittermens
Instructions

Blend with ice, serve in a hurricane glass with a straw, garnish with an umbrella through an orange wheel and two brandied cherries. Throw on some Michael McDonald and enjoy.

Notes

What a fool believes, he sees.

History

A tribute to the much maligned heyday of the frozen drink, the 70s, and its signature cocktails the Piña Colada, the Painkiller, and the Harvey Wallbanger. The coconut, orange juice, orange blossom water, Galliano, and vanilla extract create an orange creamsicle flavor, rounded out by the citrate and deepened by the Campari. Finalist in About.com's frozen cocktail contest.
