Slippery Slope

2 1⁄2 oz Rye
3⁄4 oz Cherry Liqueur, Cherry Heering
1⁄2 oz Cynar
Instructions

Stir, strain, up.

Notes

An orange twist brightens this up and a Luxardo cherry suits the theme. Don't use RIttenhouse bonded unless you want to end up under the table.

  • Too sweet for me at first, but grew on me. The Russell's 6 year Rye I used may have been too sweet.
  • Made on 1/10/15 w/Old Overholt. Nice. Would make again
  • Also made with Old Overholt. Nice, spice and cherry (the Cynar is rather subdued). A little syrupy. — ★★★★

Reducing Fernet to 1/3 is a good idea.  Might try reducing to 1/4 and increasing Cynar.

Bevx commented on 7/28/2013:

Very nice. I didn't have the malic acid, so I doubled down on citric. Came out a touch too tart, but a tiny dribble of simple made it better. I imagine different grenadines affect the sweet/tart ratio quite a bit (I used Sonoma Syrups). Wish I wasn't out of Laird's 7 1/2 Yr. I bet the extra oakiness would play well here.

Glad you liked it. My preferred apple brandy for Jack Roses (including this variant) is a mix of Laird's Bonded with the 7 1/2. You get the rounded oakiness of the older expression with the punch and fruit of the 100 proof.

Bevx commented on 7/28/2013:

Brilliant; I'll have to try that next time I have the 7 1/2 on hand.

  • Subbed aperol for Campari Was worried about sweetness, so cut aperol and coffee to .5 oz Still sweet.. Lemon around rim was good — ★★★
  • bittersweet!
  • Best solution - Punt e Mes at 0.25 oz and Cherry Heering added at 0.25 oz.
  • I like this one, and the coffee and campari work well together. I do find it to be a little too rich/sweet. I'd make it again, but maybe tinker a little bit to lower the sweetness.
  • Made with Antica. My Kahlua made this initially very syrupy, but the chocolatey bitterness swept in quickly. Really interesting drink. Lemon zest on rim is key. — ★★★★★

Dan commented on 8/22/2014:

Not a huge coffee cocktail guy. I played with this a bit:

2 oz rye
3/4 oz Campari
3/8 oz Coffee liqueur (St George)
3/8 oz dry vermouth
3/8 oz Punt e Mes
1 d mole bitters

I liked this very much.

Looks good. How's the St. George coffee liqueur?

Good balance.  The homemade coffee liqueur I'm using is quite flavorful, and it tends to overwhelm.  I'd use 1/2 ounce of it at most next time I make the drink.

Fantastic drink. The coffee/chocolate with the Campari is a brilliant combination of bitter flavors. I used homemade coffee liqueur and Fee Bros. aztec chocolate bitters.

HallA commented on 9/01/2020:

Made with cocchi de torino and patron cafe xo.  Delightful balance of sweet and bitter.

  • Tried a flamed orange zest. A lot more work, unsure if it was worth the extra effort. — ★★★★
  • Sub St George NOLA, add scant bsp simple
  • Made with bottled-in-bond Evan Williams and it worked well (the heat holding back the syrupiness of the Kahlua). A nice combination of flavors. — ★★★★

I love this drink, though I bump up the coffee liqueur a bit (I had Kahlua on hand)... more like 3/4 oz. And I think rye (Old Overholt) works great.
