  • This ended up being too acidic for me though I didn't get the syrupy note that others did. I would try again but with reduced lemon juice.
  • Yum. Gotta love cocktails from the Savoy. I did not find it too syrupy.
  • Not terrible, but for me, not good. Drier than I expected, but very cough syrupy. The gin and the heering do not mix well here.
  • Made this with Tanq Old Tom and Noilly Prat. Fantastic: pleasantly drier than expected, almost spicy. — ★★★★★

Tried it with a couple different gins. The bitterness of vermouth comes through with Plymouth. Used the Bombay London Dry (not sapphire) and it was well balanced, not too sweet, not too Dry, not too acidic.

  • Made with Hamilton 151 rum. This is likable but I'm unsure about the "burnt" quality that appears at the finish.

AmyJ commented on 4/17/2013:

Is there a recipe for the cucumber syrup?
Also, I am curious if the lime juice curdles the cream? Sounds interesting!

DrunkLab commented on 4/18/2013:

1:1 cucumber juice to sugar.

The lime juice doesn't curdle the cream; the acid from the lime helps emulsify the egg white, just like in a Ramos Fizz, and both the cream and the egg white contribute to a creamy mouth feel. Give it a try! It's an adventurous but refreshing drink.

  • Quite big, quite sweet, and quite amaro-heavy, all of which I might try fixing next time by dialing back the Meletti.

Shawn C commented on 1/29/2023:

I cut the Meletti to 1 oz for a 2:1 cognac/amaro ratio. This results in an acceptable sweetness and cola/caramel flavor. While pleasant enough to sip, there is not sufficient separation between the Pierre Ferrand Cognac (I used Ambre) and the Amaro Meletti to recommend this cocktail. It seems like a third contrasting component is missing that would otherwise complete this drink.

  • Great recipe, liked the flavour combinations. Acidity/sour taste of the lime worked in well. Good for a summer cocktail menu. Could be adapted?

rafewood35 commented on 4/22/2014:

Interested to see how the Cruzan Rum with its blackstrap molasses and the hint of coffee and dark liquorice flavours within works together with the Bourbon.
Could you substitute the Cruzan with another Dark Rum? Would it effect the flavour?

Anyway cant wait to make and try this on the weekend!

DrunkLab commented on 4/22/2014:

The Cruzan is hard to substitute for; generally, I would use another dark rum (Gosling's or one of the Jamaicans will do) and perhaps add a touch of actual molasses to the drink.

In this particular case, another dark rum will work fine, although it won't make its presence known quite as much.

Zachary Pearson commented on 4/22/2014:

I'd think a scant ounce of dark rum plus a bar spoon of Lemon Hart 151 would work.

Thanks,

Zachary
