  • Interesting. The Sherry and the scotch play off each other very well. I think even a bit of ango could top this off. Well done.

Curated this: as per the cited link (the old link was broken) changed the Scotch to Balvenie Doublewood. Added absinthe rinse to the ingredients and added garnish. Thanks,  Zachary

Lacking the proper scotch ... but still I expected more of a sherry cocktail competition winner.

Dead Rabbit spec doubles down on orange:

1 1/2oz Rye (Dickel)

1/2oz Seeet Vermouth (Punt e Mes)

1/2oz Bigallet China China Amer

1/4oz Royal Combier

4 dashes Peychaud's

4 dashes Absinthe

3 drops 20% saline (or a small pinch of salt)

1 twist orange peel, expressed and discarded

Stir. Strain. One big rock. Express and discard orange peel.

drinkingandthinking commented on 9/22/2020:

A bit too light and delicate. I'd like it to have a bit more oomph in flavor to match the deceptive punch in potency. Might try Dead Rabbit version.

applejack commented on 9/24/2020:

The recipe link lists the rye and Dubonnet as 1/2 jigger, isn't that 1 oz each, not 1.5 oz?  FWIW, the Martin's Index app shows those as 1 oz with the rest of the ingredient proportions the same (and also notes that this is one of the earliest recipes that specified Cointreau by brand).  I get it, that's a pretty small drink by today's standards, but the other ingredients should probably be scaled up as well with an extra dash (or a range of 2-3 dashes).

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.

Bevx commented on 1/07/2013:

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.

Biff Malibu commented on 4/12/2023:

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