  • Made with Fidencio Clásico, Vida, and others. Supremely delicious and balanced.
  • Sour and smoky. Finish is like orange juice.
  • Excellent. Made with Vida, Luxardo Aperitivo, and, by mistake, lemon. — ★★★★★

Curated only to add attribution and garnish. Thanks, Neel M, for the tip.

Updated this as per the recipe in the Death and Co. book, which specifies no garnish.

Thanks,

Zachary

Diego Valencia's Naked in the Desert subs sotol for the mezcal, serves on the rocks, and garnishes with a grapefruit twist and 6 drops Angostura bitters.

A variation I like: Anejo Mezcal, Lemon instead of Lime, and Green Chartreuse instead of the Yellow.  Add a handful of drops (maybe a dash) of Scrappy's Firewater bitters, to taste.

  • This ended up being too acidic for me though I didn't get the syrupy note that others did. I would try again but with reduced lemon juice.
  • Yum. Gotta love cocktails from the Savoy. I did not find it too syrupy.
  • Not terrible, but for me, not good. Drier than I expected, but very cough syrupy. The gin and the heering do not mix well here.
  • Made this with Tanq Old Tom and Noilly Prat. Fantastic: pleasantly drier than expected, almost spicy. — ★★★★★

Tried it with a couple different gins. The bitterness of vermouth comes through with Plymouth. Used the Bombay London Dry (not sapphire) and it was well balanced, not too sweet, not too Dry, not too acidic.

  • Made with Hamilton 151 rum. This is likable but I'm unsure about the "burnt" quality that appears at the finish.

AmyJ commented on 4/17/2013:

Is there a recipe for the cucumber syrup?
Also, I am curious if the lime juice curdles the cream? Sounds interesting!

1:1 cucumber juice to sugar.

The lime juice doesn't curdle the cream; the acid from the lime helps emulsify the egg white, just like in a Ramos Fizz, and both the cream and the egg white contribute to a creamy mouth feel. Give it a try! It's an adventurous but refreshing drink.
