Can you share the recipe for the fig syrup? I can add it to the notes.

Thanks,

Moderated slightly. Dry hopped fig syrup is too specific to warrant its own ingredient entry. I changed it to simple syrup with a note of dry hopped fig. Thanks.

Curated this a bit - First, the Imbue things are tricky - they don't fall into categories very well. I moved Petal and Thorn into the ingredient box. I also removed the note from the sparkling wine (which for the most part was redundant). Finally, we're going to guess that 2 ounces of sparkling wine would almost fill the cocktail glass - it's better than having people who have very different sized glasses guess how much to float.

Thanks,

Zachary

  • Luxardo Bitter also works, but is less complex.
  • Struggle to rate this one - 4 because I really like boulevardier like drinks, but not all that distinctive.
  • A nice, if not earth-shattering, Boulevardiere-style drink. I would make it again. Might be a good intro to bitter cocktails for a red wine drinker. — ★★★

  • Nice complex flavors — ★★★★
  • In the Manhattan domain but more dry with a chocolate/coffee note
  • Too much sweet vermouth.

Very nice, very, smooth, and very delicious. The ingredients blend together so well that it's difficult to discern the rye whiskey or cognac. I suspect that drinkers who are not fond of rye whiskey will find this drink to their lliking. I rated this 4.5, and good to the last drop!
