  • I tried the equal parts version and found the mezcal and fernet too dominant (though that subsided as I made my way through the drink). Might be worth trying again with the listed specs.

Zachary Pearson commented on 11/03/2012:

Curated this - a lot. Added name, corrected attribution, cleaned up the ingredients (moved Cherry Heering from title to ingredient list, changed Mezcal (crema) to Crema de Mezcal, added float and garnish to the ingredients from the instructions).

Craig E commented on 1/28/2016:

The Del Maguey website has this as an ounce each of Vida, fernet, heering, and lime, topped with ginger beer. 

Zachary Pearson commented on 1/29/2016:

Curated this - it now agrees with the Del Maguey site and Fred Yarm (at the link) - previously, it was 2:1/2:1/2:1

  • 05/05/18 - Made with Linie, Cherry Heering, Veiux Carre Absinth, and Dolin Dry. Absinthe provides interesting nose. Cherry and Aquavit Spice flavor dominates for interesting combo. Added Cherry garnish.
  • I used Herbsaint, and even at the prescribed half-teaspoon, it dominated the drink. If you like licorice and martinis you'll like this. — ★★★

Very drinkable but pineapple dominates. Absinthe/Galliano add a lot but maybe redundant. I might try upping Galliano and omit the absinthe or vice versa.

  • Used Flor de Cana. Any non-caramely rum would work.
  • Made with diluted Hamilton 151 Demerara. Decent balance of pretty interesting flavors, but didn't love it. I get a fair amount of flat rum-and-Coke from it. — ★★★
  • Made with ED 15. Rich with some nice layers from the VF, F. Branca, and the Averna.
  • Quite good, adding a little more fernet worked with my sweeter rum (Zaya)
  • Did it verbatim. Very nice. Complex, not too sweet, nice finish! Yum!
  • This time used El Dorado 12, Cynar instead of Fernet. A bit sweet, might actually need the fernet. And maybe ED 8 instead of 12?
  • Used Cynar instead of Fernet Branca, and added an extra dash of bitters. First time used 12 yo rum, next time Rhum agricole. Preferred the 12 yo rum,

AmyJ commented on 8/28/2014:

This inspired a tasty, well spiced digestive: 1/2 oz each of falernum (homemade) and Averna, angostura and 1/4 oz fernet. Most tasty at room temp, no ice.

drinkingandthinking commented on 8/09/2018:

Very mellow - nice blend of Fernet and rum - not too sweet or menthol. I used Appleton 12yr rare blend rum, but might try with a few others. Hard to get true demerara rum in my neck of the woods...

christina in tacoma commented on 7/15/2014:

Best use for amaretto I've found, and I have a huge bottle (luxardo). I would much prefer a Trinidad sour however. The angostura makes the drink and does a reasonable job of tempering the amaretto, but it's still quite sweet/almond extract tasting. In the future I'd just not buy amaretto...

plandll commented on 6/17/2021:

I recommend the Italian Margarita as a use for Amaretto. Swap in lemon for lime typically used for Margaritas, and use Amaretto instead of triple sec or agave syrup, tequila tht you prefer, and rim the glass with sugar instead of salt
