  • Made with jack daniels honey. Not bad, but a bit sweet for before dinner
  • Not having brandy, we made it with Hennessy cognac. Norm liked it very well. Dar thinks it's too sweet or, perhaps, unbalanced. Might try with higher ratio of brandy/cognac. — ★★★★

3 of my favourite ingredients combined. The honey comes through, definitely, backed up by the spices in the Becherovka. My wife thought it tasted of "Grandma's Cough Syrup" but I really liked this one. 5 stars.

1⁄2 oz Lime juice
1 bsp Agave syrup

Contains both tequila and mezcal, both kinds of typically-found sweet and both kinds of typically founder sour.

The Malcolm Lowry is a little like this, but swaps tequila for rum and has no lemon juice.

Dan commented on 12/04/2012:

I was out of dry vermouth, so I sub'd lemon juice. It was absolutely delicious. I would be curious to compare with dry vermouth, as the lemon added more acidity and citrus background than the vermouth would. I'm not sure how wine would play with the ginger and fir.

mahastew commented on 12/05/2012:

Glad you like the lemony version, Dan. I'll have to try that. Would be interested to get your impression of the vermouth version.

Dan commented on 12/07/2012:

I tried a direct comparison of the recipe as written with dry vermouth and substituting lemon juice. I definitely preferred the lemon version. For my taste, the vermouth version doesn't have enough acidity for the sugar in the Campari to come across as medicinal. I think we have an association with sweet and bitter flavors as medicinal, whereas sweet/sour plus bitter is delightful.

mahastew commented on 12/12/2012:

I just did a side-by-side and still like them both a lot, though I might like the lemon version a bit more. My wife, a Campari purist, prefers the vermouth version. I mixed both of these as up cocktails. I'm going to try to get the cocktail's namesake to try the lemon version and see what she thinks.

mahastew commented on 12/19/2012:

M'K, the cocktails namesake has ruled in favor of the lemon version. You win again, Chadwick! I'm going to update the recipe accordingly. We'll take joint custody.

Riviera Sun

2 oz Aromatized wine, Lillet Blanc
1⁄2 oz Triple sec, Cointreau
1⁄4 oz Pistachio liqueur, Pistache
Instructions

Shake in a Boston mixer with ice cubes, etc. etc. One pistachio nut to garnish.

Notes

Pistache has a fairly honest pistachio flavor, though it's a bit treacly and one-note, and the vivid green color is a little psychedelic. Another nut liqueur might make for a better cocktail.

History

My friend inherited a bottle of Pistache pistachio liqueur (made--but now discontinued--by the makers of Cointreau), which he gave to me, since he had no idea what to do with it. This is a first shot at a worthy use.
