  • surprisingly charming! Sweet, but not too sweet with a nice sour balance and odd nutty/caramel hint. I'm guessing that different sherries would add complexity...

  • Just a little too tart IMO. Upping the chartreuse by a smidge might help, or reducing the lime juice to .75 oz.

Just a little too tart IMO.  Upping the chartreuse by a smidge might help, or reducing the lime juice to .75 oz.  It's a decent drink as it stands, with tequila and chartreuse once again working great together, but a bit too sour.

Vienna, September 13th, 1683

1 oz Coffee (brewed, cold)
3⁄4 oz Mezcal, Alipus San Balthazar
3⁄4 oz Genever, Bols Barrel Aged
3⁄4 oz Zwack Unicum
1⁄4 oz Suze
1⁄4 oz Orgeat
1 bsp Bitters, Boker's
3 ds Bitters, Scrappy's Lime
3 dr Bitters, Scrappy's Cardamom
Instructions

Shake, strain into a double old fashioned glass with a large ice cube.

Notes

Sorry for the weird/hard to find ingredients. The Mezcal is literally mothball tasting - it drives the primary flavor profile of the drink. Some ingredients give coffee flavors (Unicum, coffee, Bokers). Some give menthol/cardamom (mezcal, bitters, Suze). Orgeat is texture and mouthfeel and to give a Tiki feel.

The recipe sounded interesting, but I didn't have the specific ingredients on hand, so I used Jim Beam Rye, Stock Dry Vermouth, home made ginger syrup and Angostura bitters. A wonderful cocktail! It would be interesting to compare this variation with the original.

mahastew commented on 9/21/2012:

Glad you liked it. I'm sure it would be good with a little Angostura spice. I'll have to try it!

I used Hendricks.  I cut back the St. Germain to 1/2 shot.  Added a 1/2 shot of Girard Passion fruit liquor and cut back the lime to 1/2 oz. I thought it was well balanced and refreshing with those proportions. Could call the modified version Pure Passion.

  • Used Amaro Angostura instead of bitters. Works well.
  • Good, though somewhat overwhelmed by the bitters
  • 1oz Bombay Sapphire as alcohol
  • We used gin since we didn't have genever. — ★★★★★

  • Amazing, tho bitters OP a bit. Shake w/a ton of ice:
  • The second best cocktail with ½oz of Angostura after Port of Spain (Taste Bar STL).
  • Delicious. I think it would be interesting to try with a jalapeno or chipotle infused mezcal - a little heat would compliment well.

Upped the Lemon Juice to 1/2 oz noting the author's comment on sweetness. This had an interesting hop profile come through (which may be red wine dependent - I had a reasonably beefy Australian Shiraz on hand) which was quite pleasant, nearly like a classy radler. Balanced, interesting, and sweetly refreshing.
