Garcini Daiquiri

1 t Maraschino Liqueur, Luxardo
1⁄4 oz Lime juice
1⁄4 oz Pineapple juice
1 lf Pineapple

White chocolate, vanilla, and tropical fruit from the rum meld beautifully with the vermouth. For a tarter cocktail, replace the pineapple with more lime or lemon. Easy-drinking but with a nice lingering complexity.

  • Great combination of flavors, complex, Old Fashioned-like, bitter and herbal, but with a candy top note from the Galliano. Gets insipid with too much dilution

MOJO1229 commented on 12/02/2016:

<br />A combined rating of 4.5 by three people, but no comments. I wondered why, and that made me decide to try "Pen Pal." I must admit that I was somewhat hesitant because I'm not a big fan of dry vermouth. But, what the hell, I'm using Dolin dry vermouth and Wild Turkey rye (both topshelf), along with my ol' standby, Aperol.

Putting the drink together was easy and quick and when I took that first sip, I was pleasantly surprised at how balanced the drink tasted--how pleasantly the Aperol held the dry vermouth in check, and how adeptly the dry vermouth still allowed just the right amount of Aperol's sweetness to come through. And, yes, there was the rye in the background, but not too far back. A very pleasant drink that I would drink again. I rated this drink at a 4.0. But I'm still wondering--why the high ratings but no comments.

  • Interesting. Maybe reduce creme de menthe a little so its coldness doesn't numb other flavors as much.
  • Flavors I wouldn't have ever thought of combining. Works well. Brought down a notch by my middling-grade creme de menthe. — ★★★★
  • Wow, this is unexpectedly delicious (with fresly squeezed pineapple juice).

Good, easy to make drink, that is a good opportunity to showcase pineapple flavor.  Use fresh for best results.

Pangolindo commented on 5/29/2019:

Used pineapple molosses, homemade mint liquor and a softer maraschino than luxardo.

That was good but seemed to lack something. I will do again with proper ingredients

Shawn C commented on 12/15/2022:

Pleasant light red grape flavor combined with sweet nuttiness of the nocino and orgeat, along with the spiciness of the rye. I subbed Boker's Bitters for the Urban Moonshine Original Bitters (which I don't have) since some tasting notes suggested they shared some similarities.

A Burnt Offering to Tangaroa

1 oz Jamaican rum, Smith & Cross
1 oz Amaro Abano, Luxardo
1⁄2 oz Demerara Rum, Lemon Hart 151
1⁄2 oz Donn's Spices #2, B.G. Reynolds
1⁄4 oz Simple syrup (Salted caramel syrup, see note)
1⁄4 oz Bitters, Angostura Orange
3 ds Bitters, Scrappy's Aromatic
Instructions

Shake and pour unstrained into a double rocks glass.

Notes

To make salted caramel syrup, in a large saucepan, take 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until a dark caramel forms - wisps of smoke should be evident. Carefully add 1/2 cup water to the caramel and once the bubbles subside, swirl to dissolve the sugar. Let cool and strain into a squeeze bottle.

  • Very sweet. Perhaps try less SV.
  • Love the combo of the gran marnier! Really gives some depth. I reduce SW to the amount of rye I use. Have used Knob Creek 100proof and Rittenhouse 100p.
  • A touch too sweet. Made a second round as a “perfect” Manhattan and it was excellent. — ★★★★
  • 1/6/18: Made with Cocchi vermouth and PF dry curaçao. Might reduce curaçao slightly, but quite good.
  • Nice, well balanced, better for my taste than à classic Manhattan
  • Made with Punt e Mes and PF dry curacao. — ★★★★
