  • Ok, although not as good as I expected — ★★★
  • Had to make do with Dolin. Very Manhattany up front but more interesting on the finish.

If you are a bourbon lover, or if byrrh is your thing, the "Byrrhlesque" is your drink. Smooth, yes! Tasty, oh my! Full-flavored, you bet! I used Four Roses small batch for the bourbon. Others may prefer Maker's Mark or Elijah Craig. Those will work well, as will Jim Beam black label. I rated this libation at 4.0 (but was tempted to push it to 4.5) Mix, stir, strain, and enjoy.

  • Smidge less green chartreuse, smidge more all spice dram.
  • Sweet, smooth with a bit of funk. Blends well.
  • 1. Might try with less Green Chartreuse next time
  • bittersweet amaro-based cocktail that really blends all of its ingredients well
  • good very unique
  • Montenegro plus.
  • Love it
  • Great unusual flavor, looks like a dark boozy cocktail but tastes sweeter. Orange and apple brandy at first with a refreshing spices and chartreuse finish. — ★★★★

Great! Used Vecchio Amaro del Capo instead of Amaro Montenegro. 

Mixin In Ansley commented on 2/25/2022:

Agree. Unique. Floral, but the Chartreuse gives the perfect Campari bite.

drinkingandthinking commented on 11/28/2022:

nice and smooth with a full body if just a bit sweet. I swapped Calvados/Montenegro proportions and liked it more.

Agree on less Chartreuse. 0.75 worked nicely. Preferred with a spicier style Anejo ( I used Herradura). (4 Stars)

Can-Can Martini

2 oz Gin
1 oz Elderflower liqueur, St. Germain
1⁄2 oz Dry vermouth
1 twst Lemon peel (or orange, as garnish)
Instructions

Shake all ingredients with ice and fine strain into a chilled Martini glass. Garnish with lemon or orange twist.

Notes

A fragrant, easy to love variation on the classic martini! The bracing, dry flavors of gin and the sweet, floral-fruity flavors of elderflower liqueur balance each other beautifully. Play with the proportions of St. Germain and dry vermouth according to personal preference. I like a good dose of vermouth, but some may prefer to substitute a dry white wine.

  • A sweet floral martini, very tasty and not harsh. The lemon twist and the elderberry play nice together, but it might have just a bit too much St. Germain. Consider reducing the St. Germain to see what it tastes like.

  • Great, interesting, easy drink! Funky with a light sweetness.
  • Unique bitter herbal balance, but a bit too sweet for me. I added 3/4 oz. squeezed pink grapefruit and that worked well for me.
  • Challenging! Brilliant! Maybe a little sweet.
