8stringfan commented on 3/27/2021:

Finish is too sour...too much naked lime juice tartness.  It needs just a touch of sweetener, maybe a touch of falernum or a teaspoon of demerrara syrup.

Lilac

1 oz Gin, Hendrick's
2⁄3 oz Aromatized wine, Lillet Blanc
1 t Elderflower liqueur, St. Germain
Instructions

Shake on ice, strain in snifter.

Notes

Optional Luxardo and/or a dash of bitters of choice - this would make it a Dirty Lilac.

Enjoy slowly until it comes back up in temperature for the full taste/smell experience.

exokan commented on 3/26/2013:

A fine alternative to a generic martini... It tastes lighter and has a nice little bit of nuance to it. I'm very surprised that the St. Germain shines through as much as it does (it's still very mild, but a welcome addition). I'll eventually try to add some Luxardo though I have a feeling that it may overpower the drink... anyways, all in all very nice!

  • Smith&Cross dominant - prob better with a lesser rum — ★★
  • A bit too sweet but I think the same about a Martinez.
  • Made with M&R, Plymouth, and tiki bitters. Combo doesn’t clash, but unexpectedly generic. Smooth for how high octane it is.
  • MUST TRY
  • A drink that tasted good initially, but seemed to gain complexity and quality as I drunk it. One of the best uses of Smith & Cross I have tasted.

Dan commented on 2/25/2013:

I have to admit that I'm frightened of the combination of funky hogo from the Smith & Cross and juniper from the gin. Has anyone tried this? Like beauty and fashion, it's sometimes hard to tell whether a cutting-edge creation is really great ... or really awful.

Fransos commented on 3/02/2013:

Hello, Dan. I didn't make this drink for the shock effect or to be cutting edge. Just wanted to marry some bold flavours and have fun. It's just a drink. I suggest you give it a go and see what you think. And please report back if you do!

bartenderkyle commented on 3/02/2013:

Fear not Dan, this is definitely something worth trying. I didn't have any oranges for the garnish, but I don't think it really needs it. This seems like a drink that would feel right at home in Beta Cocktails.

Pangolindo commented on 11/29/2018:

Very good and subtle. Very Nice use of Smith and cross. Made with Yellow Chartreuse, cinzano, half plymouth and shetland reel gin, Grapefruit peel. Will make again without doubt.

Pangolindo commented on 1/31/2019:

Transatlantic rum 2014 Fidji, Bombay, green izarra, Cocchi torino, peychaud. Very different from the original recipe, sweeter, intense rum forward without too much funk. Subtility disappear. Much more interesting to stick to orignal.

1 1⁄2 oz Vodka
2 ds Hot sauce
3 ds Salt

Instructions

Rim glass with celery salt. Serve with ice. Garnished with a celery stalk and lime, pickles and olives on a skewer, and/or pickled asparagus.

Clamato is a drink made of reconstituted tomato juice concentrate flavored with spices and clam broth. This cocktail can almost become a salad in a glass, if served with plenty of garnishes.

Zachary Pearson commented on 10/25/2012:

Curated slightly - moved the note on Clamato to the notes section instead of inline with the recipe. Changed the ingredient "salt and pepper" to "salt" and "black pepper".

Oh, and when you say "dash", do you mean "pinch"? 3 pinches of salt seems like quite a bit for a drink that's got 5 ounces of Clamato in it.

Lady Aanya commented on 10/25/2012:

Dash was the term wikipedia used as a measurement, so I went with that... since I usually mean it to be "shakes" I would use three shakes. Perhaps pinch might explain it better.
I was taught to use 1-2-3-4-5: one (a generous one) ounce of vodka, two shakes of the hot sauce bottle, three shakes of salt and pepper, four shakes of the worcestershire sauce bottle, and 5 ounces of clamato.
Thanks!

  • Made with reposado. Herbaceous aspects of Cynar, tequila, and bitters all reinforce each other. I get strong apple cider throughout, and maybe sour brown ale in the bitter finish.
  • use a repo tequila, I started with 1/2oz. Cynar but felt it needed 3/4 as sugested
  • Trade agave and celery bitters for 0.5 oz celery syrup
  • Less Cynar
  • Fine spin on a Margarita.
  • Really good. But a recipe seems to have Cynar too dominant. Tried cutting it back to .5oz and upping Tequila to preserve volume. I prefered that balance slightly.

Dan commented on 10/24/2012:

Moderated to conform to Darcy's recipe, which is not currently on the Rémy Martin site, and to simplify the instructions. Lime juice should be fresh, not Rose's, as lime cordial would make this way too sweet. The current Rémy Martin site lists a variant, the Centaur Spice, which lacks the lime and mint.

Budstockwell commented on 10/24/2012:

Thank you. I am new to the site and still learning how to use it. I had wanted to say use fresh lime juice as well as using homemade simple syrup. I'll get the hang of it. Love the site and I am excited to try new things and hope to have something decent to offer as well.

K23 commented on 4/19/2014:

tasty even when we didn't have mint. Put lime zest for garnish
