  • Dry but good. The cuke is a nice touch. I muddled it so I could taste it more.

I'm pretty excited about all of these brooklyn variations- thanks for rounding them up! I started with this one, using imbue bittersweet vermouth in place of dry since it was open, and bulleit rye. Really delicious, and a great use for montenegro- though I'm sure any of the lighter amari would work well if one didn't have it. I wasn't sure about the cucumber slices, but they work well with the herbaceousness of the rye and vermouth.

adamhenne commented on 10/09/2012:

Thanks! I had to make it with Meletti, actually, which didn't seem right at all. Glad it works!

christina in tacoma commented on 10/11/2012:

I love meletti, but that would be a very different drink. Can you get cora, vecchio del capo, or bittermen's amere nouvelle? Or maybe ciociaro? Those would all be in the right neighborhood I think...

Dan commented on 6/09/2014:

Very light and moderately dry. A bit of muddling wouldn't hurt to get more cucumber into the flavor profile. A nice variation, but not one I would return to often.

Artur B commented on 10/11/2024:

Dry and boozy.

Can you share the recipe for the fig syrup? I can add it to the notes.

Thanks,

Zachary

Dan commented on 10/18/2012:

Moderated slightly. Dry hopped fig syrup is too specific to warrant its own ingredient entry. I changed it to simple syrup with a note of dry hopped fig. Thanks.

Zachary Pearson commented on 10/08/2012:

Curated this a bit - First, the Imbue things are tricky - they don't fall into categories very well. I moved Petal and Thorn into the ingredient box. I also removed the note from the sparkling wine (which for the most part was redundant). Finally, we're going to guess that 2 ounces of sparkling wine would almost fill the cocktail glass - it's better than having people who have very different sized glasses guess how much to float.

Thanks,

Zachary

  • Luxardo Bitter also works, but is less complex.
  • Struggle to rate this one - 4 because I really like boulevardier like drinks, but not all that distinctive.
  • A nice, if not earth-shattering, Boulevardiere-style drink. I would make it again. Might be a good intro to bitter cocktails for a red wine drinker. — ★★★

MOJO1229 commented on 4/29/2016:

Very nice, very, smooth, and very delicious. The ingredients blend together so well that it's difficult to discern the rye whiskey or cognac. I suspect that drinkers who are not fond of rye whiskey will find this drink to their lliking. I rated this 4.5, and good to the last drop!
