Thanksgiving 'Wine'

2⁄3 oz Bourbon (Overproof, Shy)
7⁄8 oz Pimm's No. 1 Cup
1⁄4 oz Cynar
1 ds Bitters, Angostura
2 dr Chocolate bitters, Bitter Truth Chocolate
1 Maraschino cherry, Luxardo (Generous Syrup)
Instructions

Shake on ice, strain into vessel of choice - ideally a wine glass for incognito

Notes

The idea is a 'flat red wine' so ratios can be altered to taste....develop your own 'terrior' to get through the day!

History

It should pass for a wine in the glass to throw-off suspecting in-laws and kin about your perspective on the event

christina in tacoma commented on 11/16/2012:

This is good. I used 1/4oz cynar, and I used plain old Jim Beam instead of an overproof bourbon. My cherries are Amarena Toschi, and I didn't add extra syrup. I'd probably just leave the cherry out next time and go with a lemon twist instead. I don't know that my version would pass for wine, but it is a good use for the Pimm's I'm trying to use up.

  • Agree with cutting bitters down
  • Tastes like fancy fireball. go easy on the bitters or it'll be too cinnamon-y
  • I added an orange twist to add a citrus flavor and to cut the sweetness; the twist did both. I'll use orange bitters to give the cocktail an even stronger citrus flavor.

  • Cut the Galliano in half. Add a couple drops of bitters and a twist of lemon peel. — ★★★
  • Always prefer drinks with fewer ingredients. This is a tad too much on the syrupy side. Possibly cut back on Galliano — ★★★
  • Great drink.. Interesting evolution but super light and crowd pleasing.
  • Unusual. Very good.
  • Nice light cocktail. I used Galliano Vanilla so it had a vanilla flavor with the lemon. I probably prefer it with reg Galliano.
  • Simple and refreshing - nice orange-bourbon-anise interplay. And I appreciate the short and straightforward ingredient list.

This is quite delicious... I like the way you think, Stew! Even when they're (occasionally) not to my palate, your drinks always intrigue me... I fully intended for this to be the first drink I tried with my new bottle of Galliano, but I got distracted/inspired and used most of it in developing a drink I recently posted called the Bech & Gall. But I'm glad I saved enough to finally try this. Yum... For me, the first few sips were mostly about the anise from the Galliano, with a nice oaky finish. But after that, the other fruitier flavors came more into focus, providing a great sweet-tart taste.

Worth boosting the lemon juice a skosh; say, up to 5/8 oz.

mikejaz2 commented on 3/16/2013:

Excellent cocktail! I was looking for something to mix with white whiskey, which to me has extreme grass/floral/fruit notes...and doesn't, IMHO, work with traditional mahattan/old fashioned type recipes. I knew (in my taste-mind) that Green Chartreuse would be one of the ingredients, and lo and behold, here it is. Following the suggestions in "Notes", I cut the amounts of the sweet and sour components (lemon, chartreuse and maraschino) to 1/2 oz apiece...and added a garnish of a sticky and genuine Maraschino cherry to the bottom of the cocktail glass (I used a small round bottom up glass for service) for a bit more sweetness. It was delicious...my remark upon first tasting was "now THIS is a great cocktail recipe!"

louBD commented on 9/03/2021:

The flavor combo of the rum and appljack plus jagermeister is phenomenal. You can taste each component in it's entirety and they all bolster each other.

I would say add bitters to cut the sweetness, but to me that takes away from the flavor of the liquors somewhat. Maybe just lessen the honey syrup if you like a drier drink.
