  • Made with Rothman & Winter liqueur. Too cough-syrupy to me.
  • Started with tequila, orange, and bitter and became more cohesive as I sipped. Very nice combo, and the Giffard Apricot does not stand out but adds a subtle sweetness.

Moderated this somewhat. Moved Reposado (tequila) from notes to the ingredient. The average orange has 2 ounces of juice, so I changed the "1/4 orange" entry to 1/2 ounce (1.5 cl) orange juice, which we assume is always fresh.

New Milano

1 oz Gin
1 oz Cynar
1 oz Dimmi
1 pn Salt
1 wdg Grapefruit (small)
Instructions

Stir, strain, coupe, squeeze grapefruit wedge, garnish

Notes

I tasted this before adding salt and the grapefruit wedge (which I expressed into the drink) and both additions made the drink better

If you have a bottle of Dimmi, I can't think of a better use for it. Cynar and grapefruit are awesome together, and the Dimmi augments the grapefruit flavor as St. Germain would, but with much less sweetness.

Curated to provide year, place of origin, and to change from unknown to authentic recipe.

Tasty, but that's really an excessive quantity of honey. Made with overproof bourbon & it was still too much.

  • For as simple as it is, this is very tasty. I used Catoctin Creek Rye, Cointreau, and homemade allspice dram.

Mighty tasty! I added a couple dashes of grapefruit bitters to poke a little fun at the allspice, and added an amarena cherry for garnish because, well, why not?

One barspoon of allspice dram didn't really assert itself in the face of 2 oz of High West Double Rye - maybe two barspoons.

1 1⁄2 oz Rye, Jim Beam
1⁄8 oz Maraschino Liqueur, Luxardo
